Mobberley Golf Club, Cheshire. (1995 - 2013)

The club was founded in 1995.

A nine-hole parkland course set in the rolling Cheshire countryside with a SSS of 67 (with planning permission for an extension to eighteen-holes). The USGA standard greens had superb irrigation and were playable all year round. The starting hole was a tough par 5.

The following message appeared on the clubs website; Mobberley Golf Club ceased trading on 31st December 2013. Thank you to all our members and visitors for your support over the years.

Rupert Webb, the owner, explained “Four years ago I bought the club and was planning to use it as my pension. But I have run out of cash and have put £700,000 in supporting this business and it requires £150,000 per annum to fund the place. The building work should have gone on two years ago, but this hasn’t been possible. If planning for the manor house is declined then we will have to close the club down. The club is costing £10,000 to £15,000 each month and I don’t have that money anymore, so I have no choice.”

The later professional/secretary was Garry Donnison and the green-keeper, Rob Mcgillivery.

Many thanks to Andrew Healy for his help with the Mobberley club and for the images below.

Sad reflection from a former member “Had been a member there for many years but not any longer as it has closed for good. Site sold to build a house, will miss the many happy days with all my mates” 

Course review from 2009; “Without doubt the most improved golf course anywhere, we played there in June 2007 and March 2008 and it was very poor. However we played it in May this year and it was fantastic, still great value for money, probably as good a greens as you will ever putt on, drainage much improved, in immaculate condition overall.
In the clubhouse we were given a very warm welcome by the staff, even the golf director took time to talk to us about plans etc.”

Review 2010; “Since the club came under new ownership in 2008, the improvements to this course has been nothing less than amazing. The hard-working green staff  have been dedicated in their task to implement the many improvements and the results are there for all to see! The course is a pleasure to play, with lightning-fast greens and well manicured fairways.
