Woodside Golf Club

Woodside Golf Club sits just outside Knutsford, a proper 18-hole course that's been putting golfers through their paces for decades. It's the sort of place where you'll find a genuine mix of club members and visitors, with enough challenge in the design to keep low handicappers honest without being utterly brutal for those still working on their game.

The course plays across fairly typical Cheshire terrain - tree-lined fairways, decent greens, nothing flashy but solidly maintained. You're looking at a decent half-day here if you're just playing a round, longer if you want to grab a bite in the clubhouse after. The routing keeps things interesting enough that you won't feel like you're playing the same hole twice, which matters on a shorter course.

If you're staying at one of the nearby caravan parks - Woodlands is barely a mile away, and Royal Vale only slightly further - you could absolutely base a few rounds here over a week. It's close enough to Knutsford town centre that you won't feel cut off, but removed enough to feel properly rural. The course works well for golfers of all abilities, though serious high-handicappers might want to book a lesson first rather than just turning up. Contact the club directly for green fees and availability - they tend to be fairly flexible with holiday visitors, especially if you're staying locally. Summer weekends get busy, so midweek mornings are your best bet for peace and decent pace of play.
