The North West has firmly established itself as one of the UK’s great golfing destinations. An area packed with Open Championship quality venues.
The region recently enjoyed another unforgettable week of major championship golf after Ryan Fox claimed his maiden major title at Royal Birkdale. The New Zealander edged out Cameron Young after a dramatic finish on the 18th.
But while golf’s oldest major has crowned its Champion Golfer of the Year, the region’s summer of golf is far from over.
The AIG Women’s Open heading for Royal Lytham & St Annes, whilst other prestigious championships are taking place at one of the country’s finest resorts.
Carden Park has positioned itself as one of the country’s most sought-after golf resorts. It has also staged major championships of its own that continue to raise the profile of the women’s game.
Set across 1,000 acres of Cheshire countryside, Carden Park combines two championship golf courses with luxury accommodation, award-winning dining and a renowned spa, allowing visitors to extend a golf trip beyond watching the world’s best players.
But Carden Park’s contribution to the region’s golfing calendar goes far beyond providing a place to stay.
The resort has become an increasingly important championship venue in its own right and continues to strengthen its reputation as one of England’s leading destinations for tournament golf.
Earlier this year, it hosted the Women’s PGA Professional and Assistants’ Championship, showcasing the country’s leading female PGA professionals.
That is set to be followed by the Women’s PGA Cup in September.
Hosting both events underlines Carden Park’s commitment to growing the women’s game while reinforcing its and Cheshire’s reputation for delivering elite golf tournaments alongside the sport’s biggest global events.
Away from championship week, golfers can experience tournament-standard golf from two lay-outs. An experience the NCG Top 100s team described as a real pleasure when they visited back in 2024.
The Nicklaus Course, designed by Jack Nicklaus and Steve Nicklaus, presents a demanding championship test with dramatic water hazards, rolling terrain and immaculate greens.
The Cheshire course, the other hand, offers a more traditional parkland experience.
Combined with its luxury hotel, restaurants and award-winning spa, the resort offers visitors more than simply a round of golf, making it an attractive option for golfers looking to turn a tournament visit into a longer golfing break.
With the North West hosting some of the biggest events in world golf this summer, destinations throughout the region stand to benefit from an influx of travelling fans.
For Carden Park, it is an opportunity to showcase not only what the resort itself has to offer, but also the strength of golf in Cheshire and the wider North West.
As major championship golf continues to shine a spotlight on the region, it is cementing its place as one of the key venues in England’s biggest summer of golf.
