About Delamere Forest Golf Club

Delamere Forest Golf Club, established in 1910 and designed by the renowned architect Herbert Fowler, is widely regarded as one of England's finest classic heathland golf courses. The present ranking of the club by the Top 100 Golf Courses as the finest inland course in Cheshire and 44th in England is well earned. Delamere is also defined as a 'hidden gem' right in the heart of the Cheshire countryside but with easy access. Heather and gorse are sprinkled across its rolling fairways, crowned by hard, subtle greens that are characteristic of the early designs of Fowler. As a result, the course provides both visitors and members a reasonable yet intense challenge.

Delamere Forest is the kind of place that feels like it’s existed in its own quiet bubble for decades. Not far from Chester, this secluded Herbert Fowler design is routed over free-draining sandy soil, which means firm & fast golf & I would imagine year round playability. True greens, zippy fairways & rough that punished without being spiteful. Routed over dramatic undulating land, it plays more like a course you’d expect in the Surrey Sandbelt, a fine strategic test, rooted in heathland character. We started on the 10th hole & now know the back nine is tighter, with more elevation changes & a couple of blind tee shots. Having a member guide us around was very helpful with his local knowledge. By contrast, the front nine is a little more open, perhaps offering a few more chances to score.. Delamere Forest is a gem. A thinking person’s course that blends charm, subtlety and challenge. Can’t wait to visit again.

Delamere Forest Golf Club ist eine dieser versteckten Juwelen, von denen wir Golfer in Märchenbüchern lesen und hoffen, es eines Tages selbst auch erleben zu dürfen. Für mich wurde das Märchen im Juli 2025 war; Der Platz liegt an der historischen Bahnlinie Chester – Manchester mit einer Haltestelle in 10 Gehminuten entfernt. Gleichermaßen ist die Überlandstrasse A556 nahe. Die Anreise aus Manchester ist in jedem Fall ein Klacks. Abgeschieden und abgeschirmt vom westlich liegenden Naturschutzgebiet Delamere Forest befindet sich eine ausgedehnte, leicht wellig – hügelige Heidefläche. Diese ist eingerahmt von Hecken im Süden und Waldflächen im Osten und Norden. Eine Blase der Ruhe und des Friedens. Der sandige Untergrund lässt den Platz ganzjährig bespielbar erscheinen und bietet die Grundlage für erstklassige Grüns, aber auch Fairways in herausragender Qualität. Wasserhindernisse, kleinere Tümpel, kommen nur zweimal bedeutsam ins Spiel (#16 / #15). Über 80 Bunker sind gut platziert. Grundsätzlich zur Grünverteidigung sowie zur deutlichen Erschwernis in den Doglegs und entlang der Fairway Landezonen. Sie geben dem Golfplatz eine besondere Note. Der für mich größte Anspruch entstand aus den „blind shots“ über die sanften Hügelkuppen. Der Spieler muss ein hohes Maß an Vertrauen in seine Transportschläge haben - und das mögliche lange Ausrollen des Balles gut mit einkalkulieren. Mit 6100 yards mag der Platz kurz wirken. Aber die kleineren Anstiege in Verbindung mit geringer Einsicht in die Landezone wirken dem entgegen. Die Länge der ersten Löcher des OUT verwischen diesen Eindruck sowieso. Das IN ist tatsächlich 200 yards kürzer, beherbergt aber die taktisch anspruchsvolleren Löcher. Signature hole ist meines Erachtens die #14. Obgleich ich ebenso das Par 3 #11 für bildschön halte. Der finale Herrenabschlag an der #18 eröffnet über eine weite Senke noch einen spektakuöären Ausblick und es lohnt sich, über die linke Schulter über die Weite der Heidefläche zurück zu schauen. Ein traumhafter Blick! Sowohl #9 als auch #18 enden nahe dem erhöht stehenden Clubhaus. Die Scorecard für Gäste mit der bildlichen Darstellung des Layout ist ein muss. Auf Grund der fehlenden Ausschilderung ist ein Birdie Book ratsam. Ich selbst hatte da Glück, durch ein Mitglied eingewiesen zu werden. Delamere Forest Golfclub ist steht Greenfee Spielern täglich ab 0930h geöffnet und wirbt auch für Gruppenbesuche. Ein Highlight für Heide – Platz Liebhaber und für jeden anspruchsvollen Golfer.

The famous architect of the golf course, Herbert Fowler, designed the original course. Today, as well as some long and testing par threes, it still has a fine set of demanding par fives, short and tough par fours. This 'secret gem' is going to test your game for sure. One of the most difficult is arguably the shortest hole, the 6th. If you find yourself on either side of the green, you face an arduous chip to get you back on track. Consistency is everything. Lord Hawke, captain back in the '50s, also had an alternate tee installed in the woods, now known as Hawke's Folly. It's a hole that has been known to strike fear into even the most accomplished golfer.
