The small town of Marple, formally in Cheshire, now on Greater Manchester’s south eastern border with Derbyshire, can still boast two nearby and spectacular golf courses.
A short distance to the south west of Marple town centre is Marple Golf Club which was established in 1892. About a mile to the east of Marple, high up on the beautiful foothills of the Pennines, the village of Mellor, often and accurately described as the remotest village in Greater Manchester, is home to Mellor and Townscliffe Golf Club – a golf club created from the merger of two independent Mellor Golf Clubs.
This book outlines the intriguing history of Mellor’s two golf clubs and some of the people associated with them, many whose names appear in several different contexts as the story unfolds.
