Chorlton-cum-Hardy Golf Club

Chorlton is a challenging parkland course which winds its way down narrow fairways and around the banks of the River Mersey. The ancient dyke which crosses the course provides a challenging hazard, as does the elevated land of Spion Kop and Barlow Wood. Although mainly situated on low lying meadowland, over the years a variety of trees have been planted, encouraging the proliferation of a rich variety of wildlife.

Chorlton has one of the most unique clubhouses in the country, the majestic 13th century Barlow Hall providing a perfect retreat after the exertions out on the golf course. This historic venue provides a comprehensive range of dining and bar facilities, including the sun lounge and balcony where you can watch the action at the short par 18th.

Barlow Hall has special significance for the Catholic community as the birthplace of St Ambrose Barlow, a priest who was hanged for his faith in 1641. The ghost of St Ambrose is said to haunt the upper floors of the hall to this day.
