Tytherington Golf Club

The rolling fairways at Tytherington wrap themselves around the Cheshire countryside just outside Macclesfield, and if you've got a golf handicap worth mentioning, this is the sort of course that rewards a decent swing. Eighteen holes wind through mature trees and over undulating terrain - nothing too brutal, but it keeps you honest. The greens are well-maintained and the layout feels properly thought through rather than just plonked down on flat land.

This is clearly a members' club first and foremost, so casual day visitors won't be wandering in off the street. You'll need to arrange a game in advance, ideally with a member or through the club's visitor booking system if they offer it. The course sits at a decent elevation with views across the surrounding farmland - on a clear day it's rather pleasant, though the weather in Cheshire can turn quickly.

If you're staying at Sycamore Farm Caravan Site nearby, Tytherington works well as a morning or afternoon fixture during a golf-focused holiday in the area. Allow a full four hours for eighteen holes, more if your group isn't particularly quick. It's not a course for absolute beginners - you'll want at least a basic understanding of the game to enjoy it properly. The club is well-positioned between Macclesfield and the surrounding Cheshire towns, making it accessible without feeling remote.
