Marriott Worsley Park Golf Club

Opened in 1998 around a historic Victorian building set in 200 acres of parkland, this PGA Championship-standard course was designed by Michael King and Ross McMurray of European Golf Design. Wide fairways and large USGA-spec greens give the novice a fair chance, though its 6,611-yard length favours longer hitters, and it forms part of a hotel and spa complex just outside Manchester.
