About Golf in Chester

Chester is one of the most handsome cities in the north of England - Roman walls, medieval timber-framed rows, and a riverside setting give it an atmosphere quite unlike anywhere else. Its golf is equally distinctive. Cheshire's mix of parkland, heathland, and world-famous links on the Wirral coast provides an extraordinary range of golf within easy reach of this historic city.

Why Gift Golf Lessons in Chester?

Carden Park, just south of Chester near the Welsh border, is a complete golf resort with two full-length courses of surprisingly different character. One features bold bunkering, double fairways, and plenty of water, while the other is more tree-lined and subtle, building to a terrific climax. The resort's hotel and facilities make it an ideal venue for golf experience days and breaks.

The wider Cheshire area raises the quality even further. Delamere Forest Golf Club, a classical Herbert Fowler design, makes full use of natural, undulating heathland and is one of the most highly regarded courses in the county. On the Wirral coast, Royal Liverpool at Hoylake is one of only nine courses currently on the Open Championship rota, having first hosted the event in 1897 and most recently in 2023. Wallasey Golf Club, the birthplace of the Stableford scoring system, offers undiluted links golf with spectacular dunes framing its undulating fairways.

Types of Golf Lessons Available

Beginner Group Sessions

Chester's clubs and golf centres offer group beginner lessons from around £30–£45 per person. Carden Park's resort academy is particularly welcoming for newcomers, with structured programmes in a relaxed resort environment. Vicars Cross Golf Club on the edge of the city is another accessible option.

Private PGA Coaching

Private PGA coaching in the Chester area ranges from £55–£90 per session. Carden Park has experienced teaching professionals and first-class practice facilities, and several other clubs across Cheshire offer high-quality one-to-one instruction.

Playing Lessons

Walking the heathland of Delamere Forest or the resort parkland of Carden Park with a professional coach is a superb experience. For those ready for a bigger challenge, playing lessons can be arranged at courses along the Wirral coast, where links golf provides a completely different test of skill and strategy.

Experience Days

Chester and its surrounding area offer outstanding experience day packages. Carden Park's all-inclusive golf days - coaching, a round, and lunch at the resort - are tailored for gifts and celebrations and typically start from around £120. The proximity of world-class links adds another dimension for the more adventurous golfer.
