Mellor & Townscliffe Golf Club Cheshire
Lying on the western hills of the Pennines where Derbyshire and Cheshire meet, Mellor is an interesting mixture of moorland and parkland golf. The opening holes although not long provide an immediate examination of shotmaking ability and are set amongst mixed woodland including oak and elegant silver birch.
Holes seven to twelve now assume the true moorland character and the golfer who plays to his handicap on these challenging holes will be well satisfied. The closing holes – now in a parkland setting include two par fives, both with water to negotiate and a 443 yard par four finish that demands two long accurate shots to find the well guarded home green.
