Fowlers Penalty Miss said:It depends on what sort of course you want. If you like hills, Macclesfield is as mad as they come. Lots of footballers play at Chorlton GC, and also Mere, near Knutsford.
My own favourite happens to be Knutsford GC. It is a delightful course, it has been there for well over 100 years so it is not as unforgiving as new courses, and if you are coming with your better half, Tatton Park and Knutsford, both places pleasant to vist in their own right, are just next door.
Knutsford is due south wast of Manchester, about 15 miles from the City centre I would guess, but a parkland course with deer (on the right day) not far away.

Knutsford would fulfill all of your criteria, it is scenic, and it is not too difficult. Like I wrote, it is an old course, which has it's challenges but it is not as daft as new courses.
I am not a member of Knutsford GC, I just happen to like playing there, and there are some very nice attractions within walking distance of the course, such as Tatton Park and Knutsford itself.
As for snakes and deer, we have versions that crawl/run away on sight of us. Wildlife is not a problem!

There are no 'beer police' in this so called free country yet!
As for Boddingtons, you really are showing your age!
Boddintons went out of fashion, ooh, let me think now,.......a few years ago at least.
