Manchester Golf Club is delighted to be the host of the 2023 English Women’s Open Strokeplay Championship. This England Golf event sees a field of 100 female amateur golfers of different nationalities compete over 72-holes at Hopwood. Competitors will play 18 holes on each of the first two days (Thursday and Friday) with the leading 40 players plus ties playing 36 holes on the final day (Saturday). Official practise is on Wednesday 23 August. Spectators are welcome at the club with free entry on all days.
Thank you for choosing to visit Manchester Golf Club – we hope you enjoy every aspect of the course and hospitality at our Championship Venue. The golf club was founded in 1882 and was originally known as The Manchester St. Andrews Golf Club (due to strong connections of founding members to the home of golf). The original course was just 1,826 yards in length and was located in another area of Manchester – Manley Park in Whalley Range. The club relocated to Trafford Park in 1898 before establishing our long-term home at Hopwood. The par 72 hole course was designed by Harry Shapland Colt, one of the foremost golf course architects of his time, who laid-out the 18 holes we play today within moorland and heathland covering approximately 247 acres.
