Course Description
Founded in 1910 and designed by the distinguished architect Herbert Fowler, Delamere Forest Golf Club is widely regarded as one of the finest traditional heathland golf courses in England. The club's current rating as the best inland course in Cheshire and 62nd in England by Top 100 Golf Courses is well deserved. Situated in the heart of rural Cheshire but with easy access, Delamere is often described as a hidden gem . Its rolling fairways are interspersed with heather and gorse, crowned by fast, subtle greens which are typical of Fowler s early designs. As a result the course offers a fair but tough challenge to visitors and members alike.
