Bowdon, Manchester

[mashleyR7]

Can anyone recommend a golf course near Bowdon, on the outskirts of Manchester please. I can see Ringway, Altrincham and Dunham Forest on the map but don't know the courses in the area. I'm taking 4 business contacts out for a round so needs to be of good quality. Not top notch as two are high hcps but me and one other are both 10hcp.

TIA.

Ringway is probably closest, Altrincham probably easiest (Muni)

An extra 7/8 mins drive Withington, lovely course, grub pretty tight but not too long, and no massively long rough.

How far are you looking at travelling to course, there are so many round there you're spoilt for choice.

Not far from Mere. 10-15 mins

Bowdon is in Cheshire and has great road links so there are a lot of courses within 20 mins. Look south into Cheshire rather than Manchester. Courses will be prettier.

2nd for Mere. Good track and a great place to impress.

For business type stuff, I'd suggest Dunham Forest or Mere. Nice tracks and decent grub after!!

Never played it but heard good things about Wilmslow GC. Not too far out from Bowdon. Used to play rugby at Bowdon RUFC, nice part of the world.

Dunham is a great course. Better than Mere, IMHO.

However, Mere's bar bill will slaughter Dunham's so all depends on how prentecious your business contacts are. If they're into their golf then choose Dunham but Mere will tick a few boxes, also.

I think Dunham have a 4-ball offer on also.

Cheers for the suggestions, think we'll try Dunham.
