| With a beautiful parkland setting (once the Duke
of Bridgewater's estate) the Marriott Worsley Park Golf Course was laid out by Ross
McMurray and Michael King of European Golf Design. They have transformed 185 acres of
non-descript farmland into a thing of wonder: visually interesting (the Signature Hole Par
3 7th), exciting to play, and full of movement with holes that embrace both the heroic and
the delightful, all with plenty of options. It is a layout that is difficult to criticise.
The course has a range of tee positions, 8 lakes and 71 strategically placed bunkers.
Worsley Park Golf course provides an exiting challenge to golfers of all abilities. It is
a friendly course with a very useful practice area and PGA professionals on hand to help.
This exciting golf course has been created with strategic bunkering and undulating
fairways, utilising indigenous water features, as well as creating new ponds and wetlands.
At 6611 yards (par 71) from the back tees, it is a course that requires brains rather than
brute strength to achieve a successful score. The golf course has been laid out utilising
the natural contours of the terrain and the indigenous water features, the greens and tees
are all laid to USGA specifications, making it a truly enjoyable challenge. In July 2004
Worsley Park hosted the European Challenge tour (the 4th largest golf event in England
2004) for the JJB Sports North West Challenge which along with high profile events such as
the Professional Footballer's Association golf classic, the Ryan Giggs Testimonial Golf
Day, The Mail on Sunday National Golf Club Classic and also the inaugural Sir Alex
Ferguson golf Classic, illustrates the course's growing reputation as one of the best
golfing venues in the North of England. Worsley Park also offers the keen golfer a 250m
practice range, which also includes tees constructed to USGA specification. In addition
there is a putting green and a short game practice area conveniently positioned next to
the halfway house (at the back of the tenth hole). Marriott Worsley Park Hotel &
Country Club was built around Worsley Old Hall and its historic park, just seven miles
from Manchester City centre. The golf course was officially opened in May 1999. For
business travellers, pleasure seekers or meeting planners, this luxury hotel in Manchester
offers the elements for success. Spacious, well appointed guest rooms cradle you in
comfort and are wired for high-speed Internet access. Appetites are quickly sated at
Brindley's, specialising in traditional English fare with a twist; at Sports & Spikes,
serving hearty fare, light bites and snacks; or at the Chimney Bar for afternoon tea or
cocktails. Here, a championship golf course challenges you to rise to the occasion, whilst
the day spa coaxes you into blissful relaxation. There's also a pool and fitness centre to
enjoy. |
