Delamere Forest Golf Club

Delamere Forest Golf Club was established in 1910 on Crown land adjacent to the ancient forest. Herbert Fowler designed the 18-hole heathland course from an original layout by founder Willie Clegg. The clubhouse, by Alfred Powles, showcases traditional Cheshire black-and-white style.

On the Cookie Jar Golf Podcast (Ep. 151, Jul 2022), the hosts noted: "The courses are all great at the moment – they're fast, they're brown and they're playing brilliantly." They also highlighted the 15th: "15 is a shortish par four, doglegs left – you hit over the corner, over the crest of the fairway into a sort of blind" landing – a design echo of the famous 5th at Prestwick. James Braid, Sandy Herd, Ted Ray and James Arundel played the opening match; Braid won with 77. The club celebrated its centenary in 2010 and remains a quality heathland test.
