| Bury
is one of the premier courses in the North Manchester area and
is located between Whitefield and Bury on the A56 about 5 minutes
north of junction 17 of the M60 ring road. This par 69 semi-moorland
course is not long at 5888 yards but is considered to be
a very good test of golf.
There
are 4 par 3’s, the 1st,
10th 14th
and 17th. The 17th being
a superb 110 yard par 3 playing to a plateau green possibly considered
to be Bury’s signature hole.
The 9th is the only par 5
on the course, a severe left hand dogleg, the position of the
drive being vital if the longer hitters want to try for the green
in 2, be very careful though of the out of bounds on the left.
The course has improved dramatically over the last few years and
is an absolute pleasure to play, every hole is different, however
many times you play it is never boring and requires a different
approach dependant on wind and weather conditions.
