Found myself with time to kill in Manchester so I booked a round of golf, never played here before, really nice layout, and one or two very tricky holes, the views across to the city centre to the west, and up to the moors in the east, a very pleasant afternoon.

There hasn't been many opportunities for a winter round up until now, new years eve was a calm grey day, a bit chilly but dry, one or two temp winter tees, but all the greens were in play, this made for a pleasant few hours, nice to get out after to much Christmas!

I taught myself to play golf here almost 20 years ago I haven't been round the course for about 5 years since it was taken over by Mac golf I'm afraid I won't be coming back anytime soon what was a beautiful Mackenzie golf course is in a sad state.

Played here several times and it's always kept in excellent condition, this is a championship course with lots of challenges, beware the 14th a really stuff hole.
