Manchester Golf Club, is a golf club in Middleton, Greater Manchester, England.
The club was founded in 1882 as the Manchester St Andrews Golf Club, to distinguish it from another club under a similar name. In 1883, the words "St Andrew’s" was dropped and the original Manchester Golf Club became known as the "'Old' Manchester Golf Club".
The club originally played on a 9-hole
Harry Shapland Colt. In 1925, the club secured its home when it bought the freehold.[1][2] The course has since been lengthened, from its original 6145 yards, to 6491 yards.[3][4]
