A great test of golf with some of the best greens in the area, coupled with spectacular views and a fantastic clubhouse, Mellor is well worth a visit

What a great course, very well kept and maintained, hole layout is great. Would highly recommend getting a kart. Booked back on, for what won't be the last time. Highly impressed.

Our recent society trip here. Feed back from all our 26 players was very good. Some lovely views as you make your way up towards the 12th, greens were massive and extremely quick. Deceiving too. Looks to break one way goes the opposite. Shop Pro was very easy to deal with , even gave us all a course booklet, the hospitality staff were good too. I'd highly recommend this place to people and certainly go back especially for the cost. Very very reasonable. We've paid a lot more for worse courses over the years.

A real test of Golf, you need to have played a good all round game to score well at Mellor. The greens have been fabulous and consistent all year round. Finally , its a really friendly club, with great facilities. Drop in for a cup of coffee, a Sunday dinner, or a big event, you won't be disappointed.

I don’t play golf here, however regularly travel across it. The paths are good, and the course and greens look very well cared for.

What an absolutely beautiful place this is - right in the heart of Cheshire. Lee (Steward) is very helpful and all the staff are a complete asset. I wasn’t there to play golf - but to sing at a function. The lounges and suites were just lovely.

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!

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.

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.

It's one of those places that has more to offer than what you first think. It's amazing grounds and staff make it a perfect venue for weddings. The food is amazing too! Looking forward to shooting more wedding here.

Lovely course, well kept greens. Great variety of holes and competitively priced as well. Will be back.

Play here a few times a year and always found it to be in good condition. Quite a flat course, but lots of awkwardly placed trees which mean you can’t go too offline.

Having been a member previously, I was happy to play a round last week, to my delight, I cannot tell you the improvements that have been made to the course. Rob (head green keeper) and his team have improved the course and the ascetics 10 fold. The greens are in the best conditions I’ve ever seen them, the fairways and second cuts are cut to perfection and the general upkeep is second to none. Well done Rob and team for the great improvements and attention to detail. Definitely well worth a visit if you looking for a round of golf.

Played in Senior's event which was well organised. Decent challenge of a course & fairly flat so an easy walk. Course in good condition & nicely appointed. Plenty of trees. Nice clubhouse with friendly staff.

To comment on Laura Rodwell review, this is so unfair and petty to create an account and leave a bad review on a local business. I was at the Avry last night (NYE) and it was very busy, the young lady was on her own serving everyone the best she could, this was not her fault. Laura read the room a little better, don't be rude to a young girl on her own... does it make you feel important? The fact this is your first review specks volumes about you. I am a local and if anyone reading this thinking about coming to the airy, please do, its a great place. Laura, I don't think you will be missed.

Attended The Avry yesterday as somewhere to have a few birthday drinks with a family group of adults and teenagers. Contacted The Avry in advance and they offered to reserve an area for us. The communication was quick and easy. The staff were really friendly and helpful, the venue and atmosphere was great with something for us all, kept the kids well entertained with pool table and darts, the pizzas were fab and we all had a great time. Will definitely go back!

We were recommended this place a while ago and gave it a go & we are glad we did. It’s a quirky environment with a mixed friendly crowd. They have a happy hour 4-6pm daily and do a locals discount card which is a bonus! They also have planned themed evenings and events going on which adds to the environment. The beer is good and there is a good selection of spirits & other alcoholic drinks and coffee is also available, being lager drinkers the Poretti is a great lager, and they have neck oil available as an alternative, cocktails are also available which is great. They have just started doing a breakfast bacon sandwich, which we’ve yet to try. Wi-Fi is available. The bar has 2 golf lanes available, a pool table, a games room which is ideal for kids, plus other games. The staff are great, especially Rachel who welcoming, very friendly and a great social person & knows her clients well. I can highly recommend Avry.

This is a nice golf course. We played it in the middle of a lod of rain so the course was wet but it held up pretty well. I think any course would have struggled with the amount of rain we'd had and a lot of courses would have closed. All the course was in play and all the greens were in use. The only quibble I have is the layout of the facilities. The clubhouse is separate from the proshop and the driving range so you end up sat in the proshop waiting area rather than the bar if you're waiting to play or for others to come in, which is a bit unusual.

Played the course today despite the weather. It was a fantastic experience throughout the day. The staff were extremely helpful and cheerful as always. The course was excellent with some tricky par 4s. I always enjoy my time at Styal and highly recommend visiting if you get the chance.

Play here today: the golf course was challenging, and you had to think your way round. Pro shop was excellent, and the club house was very welcoming, will definitely return ! Only 2 things : no litter bins , easy solved, and a bit of a walk between some holes, which can't be helped I'm playing it again next week. I'm really looking forward to it , staff were very helpful. The course was well laid out
