Prestbury Golf Club

This is a really good Harry Colt course. It has all he facilities you need so no issues there. If they could chop a few more trees down to open up the views of the Cheshire countryside this would be really top notch.

It always puzzles me why Prestbury doesn't feature, either higher or even at all, in the numerous 'top 100' golf course rankings.

I've certainly played many courses that are regularly included in the lower third of the listings and I would place Prestbury above many of them.

Maybe it's because of its lack of length. At 6,380 yards off the tips it is by no means short but there is only really the 13th (and perhaps the uphill 9th) where a long approach is required to a par four, all of the par fives are in range for longer hitters in two shots, and the set of par 3's average out at around just 160 yards, the longest being the downhill 7th at 186 yards. This isn't necessarily a bad thing though because it creates a really enjoyable and fun round of golf.

Clever design at Prestbury also helps protect its relative shortness.
