The Best Golf Courses in Atherton, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom (2025)

Played today for the first time and what an excellent course..superb condition considering the amount of rain recently. Quite long, lots of dog legs on the front 9 a good few hills but nothing extreme. Fantastic views. Definitely returning

Played here yesterday with our golf society (Flag Hunters) and thoroughly enjoyed the course. Considering all the rain we have had, the course was in excellent condition. There are some fantastic views of the surrounding countryside as well, which was a bonus. The hospitality in the pro shop and clubhouse was first class. Hopefully we get to go back next year, when the 6th hole will be in play.

Played here today, we were in front of 4 ex captain's, they all were so friendly, a credit to their club. Course was in very good all round condition for the time of the year, really enjoy playing here and will be back soon.

Went on a rainy Sunday not expecting much and was pleasantly surprised. Fairway, tees and greens were in great shape, and the course was varied, challenging and enjoyable. Some of the bunkers were rather solid but given the level of rain over the past few days I can't complain. Recommended.

Great place for our wedding venue, food was amazing, views were beautiful, wonderful day had by all. Thankyou Colin and team x

Really nice course and considering the weather and time of year can’t complain. Would love to return when all greens are back in play, there were 3/4 temps, we were not advised at time of paying but also not surprised due to time of year but would have been nice to be made aware. Clubhouse was closed so couldn’t get a drink or anything to eat after. Which was a shame as I always like to put some money over the bar after a game of golf.

One of my favourite golf clubs ever purely because of the people. Staff are amazing! The course is unreal so different and so challenging

We hire the functional room for our child's baptism even though we are not members. Everybody had a great day, the buffet was excellent, the staff were fantastic and very friendly. But the best thing was the backdrop and the views of the golf course. All the kids had fun and we all had a great day

I played here twice in June 2024, once in pouring rain at the beginning of the round. The course was immaculate with very well kept fairways. The greens were smooth, fast, and challenging. The rough was closely cut and there wasn't any great amount of debris under or around the trees. There was no waterlogging despite the English rain. The course isn't hugely difficult for a high handicap player but it does require some course management and a deal of care on the greens, some of which don't appear to have any level surfaces. The clubhouse is modern and comfortable. The bar staff are very friendly and helpful. I enjoy this course and I have heard good things from my brother who is a member for six years. Green fees were very reasonable too.

Lovely course well laid out and well presented. The course is highly maintained and frequently updated in regards to pin locations. There is fair pricing for a golf round, and the golf professional is polite and friendly with good knowledge to help with your golf swing and course advice.

Fantastic course with some of the best greens in the Manchester area. Very friendly staff and members. It is well worth a visit.

Very happy to give the club a 5 star review. Just had a family birthday party and the service from Carolyn and her team was first class. Carolyn was very responsive to all my questions and nothing was too much trouble. On the day her team were warm and friendly, all the party guests had a lovely time and enjoyed the hot buffet food. Highly recommend!

First time I played this course and I found it a very pleasent well maintained course but very tricky, with some course knowledge I would of shot better. After playing this course around 10 times over the last few months, I decided to come back to this review and add to it. The greens at Hart Common are some of the best I've played, and consistent throughout. Fairways are also very well kept. Some great bunkers well placed. Again this is a tricky course keep it on the fairway and you'll be rewarded.

Fabulous, well priced course. Buggy hire extremely reasonable. The course is laid out very well as has some really challenging holes. A good test around. The greens are impeccably kept and the bunkers bar one are near perfect. Play advised......

Proper golf in January no mats no temp greens helpful staff and friendly members would join this course if it was 20 miles closer

Not bad condition for November. Boggy in spots but greens were good. Think £28 is a bit high for the time of year and condition. Played February. Greens were still good but it was plugging a lot. Lost a couple of balls that landed not far off the fairway. Not many places let you play full greens and tees this time of year so fair enough considering the weather

Great course with well kept greens. Friendly atmosphere among patrons and superb food in the clubhouse.

Went hear for a meal the food was great the service very good the only thing I found issues with was parking there was no disabled parking and the parking bays so tight one could not open the car door without hitting another vehicle

V friendly Golf Club, with a lovely terrace. The food particularly Sunday dinner is great value.

Wow loved this course, the greens are ‘spot on’ really well maintained and a good looking course with super views. Large open fairways and firm green. A few issues on the back nine battling leather jackets and some GUR but to be expected given the wet weather. Really enjoyed the course, it has a ‘classy feel’ and a must if you are in the area. Finished off with a great breakfast in the club house. I looked at the practice area with a good driving range with Trackman but the green is still under development. I paid £60 using GolfNow great value and the best course I have played in Manchester so far, thanks

Played an open day here, staff super friendly, golf course was in great condition and the back 9 was brutal (made harder with windy conditions). Really enjoyed it though and the food afterwards was lovely!

the below from last year still stands, but today I'd add: Julie in organising event (for x40), and Evonne in hospitality, both worthy of additional plaudits 👏. Awesome 👌 day for R.I.G.S. 2023; The course was in great condition, awesome fairways and very tricky greens. A very nice clubhouse. The only v.slight let down was most bunkers bereft of sand.

Played MGC this morning for the first time. Conditions were great, save a few spots on a few fairways which the grounds crew are doing an outstanding job of repairing. The views are beautiful and the property overall is just enjoyable to be on. Add to it that the weather cooperated and was a fairly sunny day. Next time I’m back in Manchester I’ll absolutely try to get another round in.

Firstly super friendly staff, last minute booking at the shop and straight out on the course. Pleasant course, open lush fairways, greens are firm and run fairly true. Clearly the greens had been treated and the rain has affected the bunkers they need some work. £20 for nine holes I enjoyed getting out, thank you

Great value for money. £30 a round, £25 for a buggy. Course in really good nick. Greens excellent. Staff very friendly. My first time but i ll be back soon!

Played as a visitor after another rainy period. Got there about an hour early for a bit of a practice, pro and members very friendly. Managed to tee off a bit early as the course wasn’t very busy. Course was in excellent condition, no temp greens and the course was pretty dry, greens were good and all bunkers raked. Had shower after as meeting friends and showers weren’t great but minor point really. Enjoyable round and would play again.

Excellent lunch time meal with my partners old work colleagues. Food was expertly prepared and extremely tasty. The views from the dining room across the golf course were excellent. The dining area was on the 1st floor and a stairlift had been fitted, easy to use for disabled visitors. Ample parking for both able bodied and disabled visitors.

Staff are lovey! Is a well known place, so many people there having fun. Will definitely go back and definitely recommend

Brilliant facilities, friendly welcoming staff , excellent food and drink. The golf range has a number of activities on the screens that are fun for all. Can work on short or long game. The big factor is the staff on both the range and the store they are simply amazing and very friendly.

This is a very lovely outdoor space for families and friends. It's quite relaxing and fun to play the golf course. I would gladly recommend this place for team building activities and simple hangouts. There's free parking and you can get some snacks from the shop inside.

Wasn't busy when we went, cost £28 for a family of 4 ticket. We had a good 45 minute or so on the course. Holes are plenty exciting, there's dinosaurs and music playing on some holes. It's easy to navigate. We bumped into a gran and a grandad who were finding the lack of direction signs difficult. Follow the holes you'll be fine. There's a vending machine in the middle which was out of order and it's right next to the M60 so it's pretty loud. The course is very exposed so if it looks like rain make sure you take a coat! Loads of parking. Bit if a faff to get to from either the motorway or the B&Q side.

Great golf course, was a tad bit boggy in areas when we played but I’d guess now we are hitting summer, the course will be in fine condition. Greens were super quick and ran true. Can get very busy and can be slow at times but just depends when you book (society days etc). Really accommodating staff in the pro shop too.

Stayed a weekend at the Marriot and played 3 rounds. Staff could'nt have been better or more accommodating. My friend got delayed and they did everything they could to rearrange tee times etc. The course itself was in great condition and even though it rained the green remained true and there was little or no standing water. Also the sausage roll at the halfway house is a must!!

I played here yesterday as part of a Bonvoy experience day with Rick Shiels. Fortunately the course dried out fully in the last week and was in good condition given the amount of rain this year. I have to say, we were very well looked after by Paul and the team- made to feel welcomed and no ask was too small for the team here to manage. Thank you for your hospitality and look forward to returning if I am up in the area again!

I can't comment on the golf course but the function room is nice. Good food, well stocked bar and welcoming staff.

We recently had our wedding at Denton Golf Club, and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The staff ensured everything went smoothly and exactly to plan, making our special day stress-free and enjoyable. The room was beautifully presented and created the perfect atmosphere for our celebration. Also, the food was exceptional. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team to make our day so memorable. We highly recommend Denton Golf Club!

Fantastic place to have a birthday party great function room

Golf course just getting back to its playing best after all the rain. Greens staff doing a great job, the course can now only get better. Good test of golf. Week done
