Golf Courses Worth The Drive

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.

1Reddish Vale Golf ClubReddish Vale Golf ClubSouthcliffe Road, ReddishStockportMacKenzie design down by the Tame. Undervalued, like most things in Stockport. Don't tell everyone.
2Manchester Golf ClubManchester Golf ClubHopwood Cottage, Rochdale Road, MiddletonManchesterHarry Colt layout and it shows. Proper heathland feel, proper price for what you get. No frills, which I respect.
3Fairfield Golf & Sailing ClubFairfield Golf & Sailing ClubBooth Road, AudenshawAudenshawThe only club I know with a reservoir doubling as a hazard and a marina. Niche appeal, genuinely enjoy it.
4The Mere Golf Resort & SpaThe Mere Golf Resort & SpaChester Road, Mere, KnutsfordKnutsfordThe 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.
