Davyhulme Park Golf Club

Golf was played on the Davyhulme estate from at least the 1860s, on grounds that trace back to Davyhulme Hall in 1154, making it one of the oldest golfing sites in England. The present club was formed in 1911, laying out its course in stages after buying land from the old estate, and its striking Art Deco clubhouse dates from 1937. A risk-and-reward parkland test with a mix of inviting par 4s and dangerous par 5s, it is easy walking and, as the club puts it, something of a hidden gem.
