In recent years, Worsley Park has emerged as one of the premier golf venues in the north. The profile of the golf course has been raised considerably by the award of a European Challenge Tour event in 2004.
At 6,611 yards from the championship tees, Worsley Park is not the longest tournament course around, but the work of European Golf Design, in conjunction with Michael King, has made it a good test that will be enjoyed by all those who visit. The strategic use of the existing features of the landscape has allowed the course to mature in harmony with its surroundings, giving it a mature feel.
The natural undulations, trees and water make for particularly tricky obstacles, and there is no doubt that course management and strategy are the most valuable qualities for those seeking to compile a good score. Worsley Park is also proud to have a 250-metre driving range, which is designed in line with USGA specifications.
A golf break at Worsley Park is the total experience. In addition to the established golf course, the resort also boasts a superb 158-bedroom hotel, which is designed specifically to meet the demands of both leisure and business travellers.
Set in 200 acres of land that was formerly part of the Duke of Bridgewater's private estate, the hotel's guest rooms are spacious and have all the modern comforts and amenities that are required for a leisurely and productive stay, including satellite television, high-speed internet and more.
This is one of the most astute choices for a golf break, as Worsley Park has not only superb facilities for golf, leisure and accommodation, but also has superb access to both Manchester and the motorway network.
The leisure club on-site has a swimming pool, jacuzzi, steam room, sauna and whirlpool, while the gymnasium has excellent cardiovascular equipment and a range of free weights to tone the physique. The Spa of Senses is a superb complex, whose treatments include body wraps, scrubs, massages, facials, manicures and pedicures.
Manchester's city centre is a hub of activity, offering bountiful opportunities, especially for those who are keen for some retail therapy. The Trafford Centre is the focal point for shoppers, while Manchester is also a mecca for revellers. Outside the city, a more sedate pace will suit many, where there is endless beautiful Lancashire countryside.
Playing at Worsley Park, you may well spot the stars of Manchester United; in the past few years both Ryan Giggs and Sir Alex Ferguson have chosen to host their charity golf days here.
Bridley's restaurant serves international and British classics with a modern twist.
The Sports and Spikes Bar is a favourite, popular for its superb breakfasts, and great sandwiches at lunchtime.
The Chimney Bar is ideal for those looking for a spot of afternoon tea or a cocktail.
