What PRESTBURY GOLF CLUB LIMITED does

Prestbury Golf Club Limited is a private members' golf club founded in 1920 in Prestbury, Cheshire, 15 miles south of Manchester. The club's central asset is an 18-hole, 6,326-yard, par-71 championship parkland course designed by Harry Colt (one of approximately 300 Colt-designed courses worldwide), routed over ~90 acres with dramatic elevation changes and a sandy subsoil that provides exceptional drainage. The course is consistently ranked in England's Top 100 (currently #83 by Golf World and National Club Golfer, #4 in Cheshire) and has hosted Open Championship Regional Qualifying and English amateur championships. A 27-acre practice ground with purpose-built tee, long/short-game areas, and an indoor Teaching Academy supplements the core course.

Revenue is generated through four streams: (i) annual membership subscriptions across tiered age-banded categories (Junior £300-£400, Young Adult £800-£1,150, Colt £1,750, Individual £2,280) plus entrance fees of 1x-2x subscription, with a discounted £1,500 entrance for new female members; (ii) visitor green fees of £60-£80 per person on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays via the BRS Golf platform, bundled with bacon-barm-and-coffee hospitality; (iii) society, charity, and corporate golf-day hosting managed by Club Operations Manager Neil Wallace, typically on Thursdays with 18 holes plus 2-3 course evening meal, recurring with clients including the Carrick Foundation, East Cheshire Hospice (9 years), and King's School (4 years); and (iv) five-star clubhouse catering under Michelin-recognized Executive Chef Richard Howden, plus Pro Shop retail (Callaway, Titleist, Footjoy, Nike) and tuition from PGA Professional Nick Summerfield (resident since 1991) and Teaching Pro Mark Pilling. The club is governed by a Board with day-to-day management by General Manager Stuart Finlay; ownership sits with the membership and there is no institutional investor, PE, or holding-company structure.
