Manchester Golf Club

Founded in 1882 by eight Scotsmen as the Manchester St Andrews Golf Club, the club moved from Manley Park to Trafford Park before settling at Hopwood Park, Middleton, in 1912, buying the freehold in 1925. Harry Colt's design occupies a rugged ridge of moorland and parkland sometimes dubbed the 'Sunningdale of the North', crossed by a ravine and brook, with a much-admired par-3 13th and a pine-framed par-3 16th among its highlights.
