Twenty-odd years of loss adjusting teaches you one thing: most claims come down to someone not reading the small print. Same goes for golf courses round here — the postcode promises a championship layout, you arrive and it's a pitch-and-putt with ambitions. These ten I'll vouch for, in roughly the order I'd drag a mate out of Chorlton on a Sunday for. Bring a decent waterproof regardless of what the forecast claims.
The floating-ball driving range into the lake is the sort of gimmick that should be naff but somehow isn't. Worth the drive out past the Peaks turn-off.
