A Harry Colt Masterpiece. Host to England Golf’s Reid Trophy and Women’s Open amateur championship, Manchester Golf Club is a gem. Widely recognised as a Harry Colt masterpiece, the course spans an incredible 240 acres of moorland and heathland that has to be seen to be believed. Manchester Golf Club, is a golf club in Middleton, Greater Manchester, England designed by Harry Shapland Colt. Originally called “The Manchester St Andrews Golf Club”, to distinguish it from another club called “The Manchester Golf Club”, founded as early as 1818.
The Manchester Golf Club has been my home since a junior and I am honoured to be Captain in 2021. Throughout the year, I look forward to welcoming members, visitors, societies and organisations – old and new – and sharing our inspiring venue. I am certain you will enjoy our 240 acres of golfing heaven and receive a warm welcome from all at the club at all times. Along the way, I hope to create new memories, share stories and raise important funds for my charity of the year – the MND Association. Whenever you visit, I hope you have the opportunity to meet with our team of golf, operations, hospitality and greens professionals who, together with a team of committed volunteers and committee members, make this such a special place for golfers.
