Delta Hotels by Marriott Worsley Park Country Club sits on the edge of Manchester, combining a proper 18-hole parkland test with a full-service hotel and leisure complex. The course earned its stripes when it hosted a European Challenge Tour event in 2004 and has been refined steadily since, while the hotel itself occupies 200 acres of what was once the Duke of Bridgewater's private estate. You're close enough to Manchester city centre to make a night of it, with bars, restaurants and nightlife all within easy reach, but far enough out to enjoy genuine countryside golf without the urban sprawl.
The parkland layout is a fair but testing round that suits mixed-ability groups, with enough to keep better players interested without turning every slightly offline tee shot into a reload. Tree-lined corridors shape your tee shots and the greens reward good iron play, so it's not just about length off the tee. The driving range and putting green give you somewhere to loosen up before your round or work on the short game afterwards, and if you've got a mixed group, it's a good shout because you can make a full day of it. A warm-up on the range, 18 holes, then a drink and a reset in the leisure club tends to keep everyone happy, whether they're chasing a score or just enjoying the day out.
Off the course, the resort set-up really comes into its own. Non-golfers have plenty to do and golfers have an easy recovery plan with pool and spa time, then Manchester's bars and restaurants are a short drive away when you want to turn it into a proper weekend. Location-wise, Worsley Park sits just off the motorway network, making it straightforward to reach from across the North West and beyond.
Who is this for?
Golfers and groups who want an easy-to-reach Manchester base with countryside golf, strong leisure facilities and the option of city nightlife.
Who is it best for?
Societies, corporate days and mixed-ability groups who value comfort and variety as much as the golf.

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.
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.

A stay at Worsley Park is set up for golf breaks, but it works just as well if you're mixing golf with business or a city visit. The hotel has 158 rooms set within 200 acres of land that once formed the Duke of Bridgewater's private estate, so the backdrop is more green space than traffic, even though Manchester is close by.
Rooms are spacious and geared for an easy weekend away. You've got the everyday essentials covered, including satellite TV and high-speed internet, plus enough space to spread out your kit and settle in after 18 holes. For groups, it's the kind of place where you can keep everything in one base, golf, food, drinks and recovery, without organising taxis all weekend unless you want a night in town.
Food and drink is straightforward and flexible. Cast Iron Grill is the main restaurant, built around a modern menu and regional ingredients, which suits that post-round appetite. Tempo is the go-to for breakfast and lighter bites during the day, popular for its morning spread and lunchtime sandwiches. Brew Bar Lounge is where most groups end up for a drink, whether that's afternoon tea, a pre-dinner pint or cocktails later on. With three spots to eat and drink, you can stay on-site all weekend and still mix it up.
Leisure facilities are a genuine plus, especially if you're travelling with non-golfers or you've packed in back-to-back rounds. There's an on-site pool, jacuzzi, steam room, sauna and whirlpool, plus a gym with cardio equipment and free weights. The Spa of Senses offers treatments such as massages, facials, scrubs, manicures and pedicures, ideal if your group is mixing golf with a bit of downtime.
If the weather turns, or you want to keep the competition going after dark, the Simulator Lounge adds an extra option with Trackman technology, so you can play a choice of famous courses indoors while ordering food and drinks and watching live sport on screen. It's a smart addition for winter evenings or groups who want to extend the golf beyond daylight hours, and it means you're not stuck in the bar if someone fancies another nine holes.
Right, if you fancy a Manchester golf break with a spa and an easy night out, include Worsley Park in your next UK golf break.

The accommodation was good but problem on arrival was they said we did not have coffee & bacon butties booked so i had to produce the booking form upon then were given them. The only other problem was with buggies they said we only had 2 buggies booked but after again showing the booking form we were given the 4 buggies on both days. Other than that yes we enjoyed our Stay.

Room clean and comfortable. Furniture a bit tired though. Very good breakfast but disappointed with the evening menu choices. Flat iron chicken was very spicy as was the carrot and coriander soup in the bar for lunch. Beef burger was dry and overcooked. Lovely golf course experience. Very well maintained.

Excellent stay at the hotel. Kept up to date and modern with great facilities. Rooms are large and very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was very good. We kept to the standard 3 course menu but there is a good selection on the al la carte menu. The bar is, as expected, expensive but there is a cracking pub 100 yards away with cheaper drinks. There were no negative comments from any of our group.

Although Worsley Park is on our doorstep we have never stayed overnight this was a last minute treat to ourselves. We cannot fault anything about the hotel, its facilities, its rooms/decor, bars, restaurants, food and the excellent staff right through the hotel. Unfortunately the golf course was extremely wet under foot with many bunkers masquerading as lakes! It could have been a lot worse it could have been raining whilst we played our two rounds of golf.😁⛳️ The course is very good and the wet conditions did not dampen our enjoyment of the well designed course. We shall return but must make it summer time hopefully in dry conditions to saviour the full golf experience. We would highly recommend Worsley Park.

Hotel facilities, staff and golf course v good. We were expecting a buffet style carvery on the Sunday evening but the offer was v disappointing. No carvery but portions of salmon and chicken ( dried out ). After speaking to Jibin Thomas ( restaurant manager ) and Daniel Kean director o operations ) we were left with the impression owing to reduced numbers of visitors the quality of meal offers were changed. We will not be returning to Worsley Park, after 3 consecutive visits nor could we recommend it as a venue.

Very wet and muddy made the fairways feel more like rough on a lot of the holes. But the greens were outstanding.

As expected for a park course near Manchester in March. The ground conditions were very soggy under foot. The greens played nicely. Took some getting used to though. Unfortunately due to my health condition, I had to hire a buggy but had to keep to the paths due to the ground conditions. It was hard to find the ball on occasion as I could not follow the line and they were plugging, even on the fairways. Will definitely endeavour to return in the summer

Lovely well designed course with greens that are excellent. However on our visit the course was extremely wet underfoot with many bunkers masquerading as lakes!⛳️🏌️. It did not detract from our golfing enjoyment and we would highly recommend. We shall return but in the summer months.
