About High Legh Park Golf Course

High Legh Park Golf Course is an 18-hole, par-70 parkland course in Cheshire, near Knutsford. The championship layout was designed by professional golfer Mark James and golf course architect Steve Marnoch and opened in 1998. Its putting greens were constructed to USGA specifications, with drainage performance an important part of the original design.

The operator also maintains a separate nine-hole Founders Course measuring 2,435 yards and a six-hole pitch-and-putt facility. These are additional layouts rather than part of the championship course's 18-hole scorecard. The championship course's ninth hole is officially described as a par three with a narrow green protected by a pond.

The course is an 18-hole parkland golf course. Designed by Mark James and Steve Marnoch, the course originally opened in 1998. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Driving Range, Toptracer, Putting Green, Short Game Practice Area, Pro Shop, Golf Lessons, Club Hire, Restaurant, and 3 more.

Origins

The development of High Legh Park brought a new championship golf facility to the Cheshire countryside near Knutsford during the late 1990s. The club opened in 1998, with its original 18-hole course designed by Mark James and Steve Marnoch. The development included substantial practice and clubhouse facilities, establishing a multi-purpose golf property rather than a single-course operation.

Did You Know?
The property has an additional six-hole pitch-and-putt layout beyond its 18-hole and nine-hole courses.

Design Philosophy

James and Marnoch developed an 18-hole parkland course with USGA-specification greens. The operator identifies the green construction as an important feature of the design, particularly because its drainage characteristics help maintain playing conditions through the year. The ninth hole provides a documented example of the course's strategic demands: it is a par three with a narrow green guarded by a pond, requiring accurate distance and directional control.

Development

The property developed into a multi-course facility with an 18-hole championship layout and a separate nine-hole Founders Course. The Club Company subsequently took operational ownership of High Legh Park, incorporating the property into its collection of British country clubs. The company's announcement identified plans for further investment in facilities and membership.

The property now also advertises a six-hole pitch-and-putt layout and a Toptracer-powered driving range.

Today

High Legh Park operates under The Club Company. The championship course remains an 18-hole, par-70 layout, while the Founders Course and pitch-and-putt provide shorter alternatives. The club welcomes non-members and provides golf instruction, practice facilities, retail and food and beverage services.
