Astbury Golf Club

Astbury Golf Course was conceived in April 1922 when three men began playing golf in a field in Howey Hill Lane, Congleton, leading to the formation of Astbury Golf Club. By 1st February 1924, funds were raised to purchase a new clubhouse which opened in June 1924, serving the membership which began with 64 people.

The club and golf course encountered a major event on 3rd June 1965 when the clubhouse was destroyed by fire; by September of the same year, the club acquired 38 acres of land on Peel Lane, where a new clubhouse was built, remaining in that location as of today. In 1972, Astbury Golf Club celebrated its Golden Jubilee, and in 2021, the centenary fund collected close to £50,000 for refurbishment projects.

Significant investment in the golf course has resulted in over 28 redesigned and reconstructed bunkers, upgraded paths, tees, and improved course drainage, aiming to enhance course design and playability. Additionally, the club has prioritized greens and approaches, resulting in high-quality greens and was recognized in 2022 as the host for Cheshire County Men's and Senior's Match Play Finals.

The course is known for its signature 12th hole, a challenging par 5 requiring a lengthy carry over a ravine, as well as the 3rd and 18th holes which present unique challenges. Water hazards affect play on seven holes, and the terrain comprises gentle slopes, testing players' short game abilities.
