The Manchester Golf Club is an extremely popular destination for open golf events – attracting well over 1,000 participants each year. A full calendar of events can be booked online, although it is best to act early as tee-times are usually in high demand. Each event combines competitive golf with a great day out on an England Golf Championship Venue. We aim to provide a warm Manchester Welcome along with the opportunity to play a course ranked highly by Golf Monthly, Golf World, National Club Golfer and many more. We also host, in conjunction with Ormskirk GC, a World Amateur Golf Ranking Event for elite golfers, The Hopwood & Lathom Classic.
We host a number of Open Golf Competitions throughout the year for golfers of all categories. These are in addition to our well-known Festival week of competitions. Simply select your event of choice and see available tee-times online. One of the highlights of the calendar is the 36 hole scratch event – The Hulbert Trophy – an World Amateur Golf Ranking Event. However, all golfers with a WHI have the opportunity to enter our open events.
Entrants have the opportunity to win great prizes in each competition, as long as they are members of a physical golf club and have submitted 5 WHI competition cards in the previous 12 months. Entries to Open Competitions are welcomed from golfers with fewer qualifying cards although they will not be awarded a prize.
A well-established event for the best amateurs in the region, The Hulbert is a 36-hole Scratch Medal Event.

Open to full members of recognised golf clubs aged 18 and over with a maximum world handicap index of 4.5. Applications for entry should be made before the closing date in early June, with a ballot by handicap if oversubscribed. Use the link below to discover more and register.

During Festival Week we showcase the club and course at its glorious best.
