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

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

Course generally in good condition with very good greens. A very hard walk on the back 9 with elevation changes and large distances between some greens and tees. Quite dangerous in places hitting over greens and also greens near tees. Friendly clubhouse with good price food and drinks.

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

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 attend our weekly business meeting here every Thursday with BNI. Great facilities and the catering team serve up a fantastic buffet breakfast.

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.

Very picturesque 9 hole golf course. Immaculately maintained with two very different tee positions on each nine. Food and service excellent in a beautiful location. Well worth a visit.

Don't be put off the fact that this is a shortish nine hole course. The second nine plays from different tee boxes which does make a difference in a couple of holes. You will be allocated two tee times by the pro,(front nine and back nine). Always worth taking the phone number for the bar so you can ring when teeing off the ninth and have a pint waiting before your back nine on a hot day. A new green should be in play by the end of the summer. Just a flick with a wedge over the water but beware the undulations in the green. House manager Ben and his staff were exceptionally helpful and the quality of the food is always high. Go on...make the effort and visit

Visited a couple of weeks ago and you wouldn't think it was January. Fairways were excellent, greens were decent and the welcome from Richard in the pro shop was very warm. Only a 9 hole track but this shouldn't be a surprise and it's nice enough to go round twice. Whenever I've played here, this time included, the members approach visitors with suspicion and I've been confronted quite abruptly on all occasions about my right to be there. And yes, I'd paid the green fees.

Extremely helpful professional lovely club house and Excellent golf course,will definitely visit again.

Nice course. Good, inviting fairways from the tee box. Some long par 4s and a 210 yrd par 3. 16th drives over the 4th green, so it can cause a little bit of a wait. 6th has a ditch right on driver distance running across fairway be careful. 9th hole par 3 very tough, good-looking hole. Overall, it was very nice, not too hilly course. Proshop and clubhouse are very good.

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.

Great welcome in the pro shop , very friendly .Only played 9 holes as a visitor but wow , the best greens I've played hands down all year. The front 9 had some really lovely holes ,especially the par 3 9th. Will 100% be going back 100% credit to the greenstaff. Pics of the 9th green and also looking back to the 9th tee. Superb hole.

Amazing greens for February. Course was great. Nice layout, a mix of holes and incredible condition for the time of year

Excellent facilities and staff were fantastic

Lovely parkland golf course. Nice club house with good food and now the have padel courts which can be booked by non golf club members from the Playtomic App

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

Another little hidden paradise that I didn't even know existed just round the corner from our house. Lovely place great friendly staff!

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.

Would recommend, enjoyed it and would like to go again. It would have been better had we known that when playing the games you aim via the screen to witch direction you play your shot, still had fun but was disappointed this wasn't pointed out when we got there or asked if we'd been before, which we hadn't.

Played today with a small work society, and we had a great day out. First time we've played there but won't be the last. Lovely course with some great holes that make you think about your tee shot. Breakfast wasn't bad either.

The course is in excellent condition at the moment (May18). We had a sunny, quiet evening round - and it was absolute bliss. Helps that I had my best back 9 ever!!!

Played today with our society 28/06/24 warm friendly welcome great breakfast to start our day and fantastic course great condition all round from tee to green will be making a return trip.

Brilliant venue for a celebration. We hired the club for a family party and it was perfect. Connor was so helpful organising it all. The food was excellent - everyone commented on what a great buffet it was (with lots of fresh, healthy options as well as the classics). Thanks for all your help!

Even considering the typically Manchester weather, the course was playing nicely this morning. Only used the practice facilities today but the chipping and pitching area was in good condition (apart from the areas which had been reseeded). 23 August 2023 25 Sept 2023 - greens now immaculate following maintenance work completion and the recent rains. Fairways by and large firm and in good condition, just a few small boggier areas more than likely due to surface topography. February 2024 - after recent heavy rains, and on-going planned works, not all holes were playable. Some soggy and slippy areas about, but the greens were in good condition. May 2024 - starting to get drier weather now and the course is improving. Still a few squidgy areas of ground around but the majority of the course is very playable. Oct 2024 - first outing for months due to injury. Course in very good condition with very few soggy areas. Some areas a bit softer than others but easily manageable in spineless shoes.

Superb ! Great practice facilities with a modern club house with all the facilities. Great staff and a lovely family feel. Highly recommend.

I have the privilege of shooting many weddings and meeting a lot of people in the wedding industry. I have to sat that the staff here were amazing. SO helpful and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. If you are looking for golf club wedding venue then PLEASE stop by and have a look.

Very nice venue for an event with great views overlooking the golf course,we were there celebrating a friend's end of life, the club provided an excellent buffet,I highly recommend this place.

Second visit for an Xmas event, excellent food ,& service. Would be helpful to indicate preferred entrance & also provide cloakroom facilities.

I’ve enjoyed many, many fabulous nights out at Hazel Grove Golf Club, the caterers, Andy Beeley Catering (ABC) are probably the best in the area. Andy, Martin and their team are professionals in their field. Their success is due to meticulous planning and execution. They make sure every detail is cared for, especially when it comes to special dietary requirements/personal preferences. Their exceptional organisation enables them to handle any event super efficiently. HGGC is a fabulous golf club in every respect; the course, the staff and their fabulous events. Not many can put on celebrations like this club can!! However, I’m very disappointed to hear the caterers will be leaving later this year after 24 years of very loyal service. I have been fortunate enough to have worked with ABC and witnessed their loyalty alongside the fabulous reputation they’ve built up and it’s been a privilege to watch them grow from strength to strength. This is a team of real quality and longevity (which is very rare in golf clubs). We will miss such a fabulous team and HGGC’s loss will definitely be someone else’s gain.

Went for a dinner. Lovely smoked salmon starter, nice beef (I prefer rarer) and a decent cheese selection. Reasonable drinks and friendly service.

An amazing place! It's such a shame to hear that the caterers will be leaving though. I attended a funeral at Hazel Grove Golf Club and the food was so good. The staff were just lovely, very thoughtful and compassionate. In fact, quite a few people took details for themselves for future bookings. I bet the golf club will be sad to see them go.
