Stockport Golf Club

At under 6,400 yards in length with a par of 71, the course might, at first sight, seem to be on the short side for the modern game, yet it has proved robust enough to withstand the onslaughts of powerful fields of professionals and amateurs in five Open Championship Regional Qualifying Tournaments. The course has also played host to numerous county championships and inter-county matches. Many great professionals have graced Stockport’s fairways, including Harry Vardon, James Braid, JH Taylor, Henry Cotton, Alf Padgham, Dave Thomas, Eric Brown, Peter Butler, Bernard Hunt, Neil Coles and Dai Rees. However, the most distinguished visitors to Stockport were surely the American Ryder Cup team of 1929, who played a team of gifted local amateurs and only just managed to beat them because of a dogged late fight-back by the great Walter Hagen.
