Ladies

Ladies Golf at Manchester Golf Club is both competitive and fun. There is a vibrant Ladies Section at the Club that organises a range of competitions and events throughout the season to cater for everyone's needs from raw beginner to very competitive.

Tuesday is Ladies Day at the Club when ladies have their own specified tee off times and they are also given priority on the Course. There are also competitions at the weekend to cater for lady golfers who work during the week.

Group Ladies Coaching is offered twice a week by House of Golf professionals and help and advice is always available to ladies who are looking to 'get into golf.'

The Ladies Section headed by the Lady Captain has a real commitment to helping a range of charities and to this end they organise events and take part in local events to raise funds. The emphasis is always on fun!

The Club has 5 ladies teams playing in National and County events as well as a mixed team playing in a Manchester based event. It is therefore no coincidence that Manchester Golf Club has amongst its membership some of the best golfers in the County at both a junior, adult and senior level.

We have a history of supporting players of outstanding ability, the Ladies Scratch Teams are consistently in the running for major trophies in the County and a number of 'Manchester girls' have gone on to represent the Club at county and international level and on Tour.

Junior girls are made very welcome at the Club and they are encouraged by all to become the best that they can be and to enjoy their golf for what it is - a great opportunity to meet new friends, to take exercise and to compete should they wish to do so.

Junior Girls start out at the Club from as young as 5 years, having lessons with one of the House of Golf professionals. At 8 years of age they can become Junior Associate Members of the Club and take part in mini competitions that are appropriate to their age. At 11 years they can become Junior Members and take part in Junior Competitions and then at a later date become Junior Lady Members.

Youngsters are helped and encouraged by the lady members and mentored by Junior Organiser Karen Clayton who is a Level 1 coach and county player.

Whilst Manchester could be described as being a very traditional club we are keen to keep up with the changing status of golf in the modern era. Outside of competition times there are no restrictions on members access to the course.

We look forward to welcoming new junior and lady golfers to Manchester Golf Club in the future. Back to the top

 

Men

The Men's Section at Manchester Golf Club provides a great opportunity for members in each category to play competitive golf on a regular basis. Major club competitions are held on a Saturday but there are also Midweek Competitions held on a Wednesday and monthly Sunday Stablefords so that 5, 6 and 7 day members all have the opportunity to play some competitive golf.

The Club's twenty or so major competitions for men are always keenly contested and finals have seen some great golfing drama over the years.

Weather permitting, competition golf is played all year round and during the winter months there is a Winter League and midweek competitions for those who like to play golf all year round.

Hopwood is a popular venue on the North West Open Event circuit. The Hulbert
Trophy 36 Hole Scratch Event is played annually as part of the Northern Order of Merit attracting some of the top players from all over the North of England.

The Club was very proud to host the Lancashire Amateur Championship in 2012 and are delighted to announce that in 2013 the Northern Counties Championship will take place on the Hopwood course. Major events including the Hulbert Trophy are contested over the club's Blue Course which measures out at some 6,650 yards.

PGA European Tour Qualifiers and Player's Tour events have all been contested at Manchester Golf Club. Is it any wonder then that the Men's Section has produced so many fine players over the years who have gone on to win major trophies and to represent the Club at County and International level and on Tour?

The Manchester Golf Club Scratch Team plays annually in the Dunham Forest Team Event and they are currently holders of this prestigious trophy.

Manchester Golf Club members believe in investing in the future of the club. As a result the Junior Section offers free golf lessons to junior members to help them to develop their game. Junior boys/young adults are given every opportunity to reach their full potential and there is an excellent mentor scheme in place to help and advise juniors on every aspect of becoming a member of a golf club.

Seniors

The Seniors Section of the Club is a very proactive and busy category of membership. The Section is open to all male Members aged 55 years and over who wish to participate.

The Seniors Section runs its own knockout competitions and frequent challenge matches against other local clubs on a reciprocal courtesy basis.
