Sutton Hall Golf Club

Rolling across the Cheshire countryside just outside Frodsham, this well-maintained 18-hole course delivers proper parkland golf without the stuffiness you'll find at some clubs. The layout makes good use of the natural terrain, with a few testing water hazards and enough elevation changes to keep your round interesting.

Golfers looking for a decent challenge will find plenty here. The signature holes include a particularly tricky par-3 over water that's claimed more balls than I'd care to admit. Course conditions are generally excellent, especially the greens which roll true throughout the season.

What sets Sutton Hall apart is its welcoming atmosphere - perfect for holiday golfers who want to play without feeling like they're intruding on members' territory. The clubhouse does a solid lunch too, handy if you're making a day of it.

Location-wise, it's brilliantly placed for a golfing break. You're within easy reach of several holiday parks including Delamere Forest Camping and Blakemere Holiday Park, making it simple to combine a round with a family break. The course sits between the Mersey and Delamere Forest, so there's plenty to keep non-golfers occupied while you're out on the fairways. Book ahead during summer weekends when it gets busy with visiting golfers.
