What the club says: A splendid parkland course located along the winding and very picturesque River Mersey, just 3 miles from the City centre with easy access from the motorway system and Manchester International Airport.
At par 71 and 6378 yards in length it offers a challenge to the most discerning player and at the same time is a pleasure for the higher handicapper.The lush tree lined fairways and manicured greens have been described as the best in the Greater Manchester area.

Friendly place, stay out of the trees!
Friendly members and staff in all areas. Well kept course, lots of work taking place in advance of the winter. Hit the fairways and you will have a shot to the well kept greens. Clubhouse is welcoming, food reasonably priced and is very tasty. Would recommend for visitors, societies and new members alike!Reviewer Rating

Working away in Manchester, so thought I'd get a round in. Had seen this course on my travels around the area, so thought I'd give it a try. I was going to play on my own, but a member asked if I wanted to join him, so thought 'hey, why not. He knows his way round the course and I don't'. Hadn't played here before and was looking forward to the round. There's a good selection of holes, with some challenging, long par-4's, but some that give you a chance to score well. The conditions were a bit wet underfoot, but after the amount of rain recently, was to be expected. It didn't detract from the enjoyment of playing though. The member had to leave after 14 holes, but I finished the round, went to the clubhouse, had a beer and a sausage sandwich that was reasonably priced. Smallish pro-shop, but has what you might need. Decent clubhouse, with bar area on the 1st floor giving go views of the course. Would I go back and play again. Yes, but there's so many courses in the Manchester area that I'd like to play, I'm not sure I'll get the time to play here, as don't visit Manchester that often Worth a visit though, if you want a decent course, at a decent price.

Nice course but not challenging
I played on my own this morning 9.30. Never played before. Three ball of members in front of me refused to let me through. Another four ball behind decided as I was waiting for these three in front to try and drive through me on the fairway to speed me up. Luckily his little baby drive was about thirty yards behind me but the point is the players say a lot about a club and to experience such poor etiquette in front and behind me means I won’t be going back to Withington. I walked off after 9 as it was taking an eternity with no sign of them letting me go through. It’s a shame as I imagine the course is decent in summer. Lots of developed trees and the greens were half decent.Reviewer Rating

This is a surprisingly good test of golf. Every hole has a strategy to it with a premium placed on good driving. It has a strong start. Opportunities abound in the middle of the course and you are then presented with one of the strongest finishes in Cheshire

'The Stretch'
Great Course in lovely condition. Very welcoming and lovely food. Some tough holes depending which tees you play from but we were offered the choice which is good.The final three holes which have been named collectively as 'The Stretch' can be a real test for any golfer and the club provides society's and visiting groups with a courtesy 4 ball 'Master of the Stretch' voucher to be presented to the individual with the best score on these holes. I didn't win the voucher, blobbed on 2 of the 3 but this is a fantastic idea from the club and just adds to an overall great visit. Highly recommended.
