Mellor & Townscliffe Golf Club

Off the beaten track a great setting features and views.

We played on a busy visitor Sunday morning following a large competition the day before I assume with prize and signage still on every hole. Really glad I’ve played this but tuff at points and extremely hilly track.

Positives , fantastic greens, good course mapping and signage..

front 7/8 holes really good and challenging.

13-18 same whilst 16th being a good holes are tight.

Hazards stacks and yardages excellent.

Tight challenging holes.

Niggles. 9-10-11-12 very very hilly, quite dangerous holes, layout is tight and blind. More signage, direction and warnings lots of holes are in line of tee boxes.

Negatives. Around 9-12 we were almost hit by 4 balls at speed just missing us, late four shouts didn’t help it is carnage to many holes in a tight space. Added the very steep inclines, hills and lack of course knowledge made it quite dangerous. The 12th is super hole but boarders dangerous especially is winter and wet weather.

13 onwards soon settled my thoughts until 16th. Tight up to 15th/17th balls fly across fairways again made it quite dangerous.

All in all this isn’t for everyone it’s a tough walk. To hilly and hidden dangers I’m not sure I’ll return.

However great views and greens were fantastic

Shop is small and I did say it’s our first trip here so do you have any tips.. at this point the hidden holes, course blindness and hills should have been explained. Missed opportunity, more signage is needed around these holes. shop has a small range and basics you need.

Nets and chipping area are good enough with plenty of parking.

Bar - great menu and staff, elevated above ground with a variety of seating, sky sports and pool table

8/10 but wouldn’t return

Was our first time playing this course. Played a 3 ball and was blown away with the course quality. The weather was glorious also but the fairways and greens were immaculate and for what we paid to play, it was incredible value for money. Will definitely be returning and even though I am 55 minute drive from the club, I am seriously considering becoming a member.

Other members and staff where extremely friendly and welcoming in the clubhouse

Great setup and in excellent condition! Beautiful scenery

Great course, played here many times. Greens where best I've seen them and very, very quick. Didn't use the clubhouse after due to length of round. Seniors Open being played with last group going out tee time before us. So slow it was silly. Members behind us walked off. Understand they are in a competition but good manners would say play through. The group in front of us had two clear holes in front of them.

Spoiled a good day.

Played this course solo with a 6 pm tee off. Course in excellent nick and fairly quiet at that time of day. Quite a hairy course, boat very well laid out and some challenging holes. Playing off a handicap of 24 shot a very satisfying 89. Even though the course is physically demanding would thoroughly recommend, although no pro shop open at that time (unsurprisingly), so had to play with an old scorecard and my England golf app.

First time playing Mellor as a 4 ball, shame the weather wasn’t great but the course was stand out. Incredibly hilly and incredible views. If you’re considering playing Mellor do it, you won’t regret it.

We played Cavendish today and my playing partners preferred Mellor

Wonderful round at Mellor yesterday, would heartily recommend to anyone. It is very hilly in places so would recommend a biggy to anyone with any sort of mobility issues. We managed carrying but it was hard work, especially in such hot weather.

Really well maintained and some fantastic holes well worth your time. We'll be back (on a buggy)

Cracking course, hilly and challenging. Some really tidy par 3s.

Played Mellor for the first time with 2 friends, and it didn't disappoint, the course was in immaculate condition from Tee to green , even though it's very Hilly but expected where it's location is and the weather was unbelievably good. I would recommend a buggy. Staff both in the pro shop and bar we're very friendly and helpful and for the price we paid I would definitely recommend it and will be happy to play again.

What a course! From tee to green the course is well maintained. Though the score card shows a short course, it definitely doesn't play short. Varying holes, beautiful scenery, good atmosphere. Just mega. We'll be back.

Arrived and checked in with the pro shop, staff very friendly, course lovely to play, all sign posted, it is very hilly, but wouldn't say this is a bad thing, let couple of people play through, all very friendly, could of done with halfway house being open just to get a little drink. Some beautiful views when you get to some of the high tee’s

Stopped in clubhouse after round again very clean very friendly,

Would recommend, and will be doing this course again.

Really nice course .make the front 9 count.... good greens and fairways....just needs a little rain and it would be awesome 👌
