Saddleworth Golf Club

Founded in 1904 as a nine-hole course and redesigned as 18 holes in 1913 by Alister MacKenzie, architect of Augusta National, this course climbs the slopes of Wharmton Hill above Uppermill to one of the highest tees in England at 1,272 feet, with the present 5th green reputed to be an original MacKenzie green. The panoramic views over the Saddleworth villages make the clubhouse a popular wedding and events venue alongside its golfing facilities.
