The Tytherington at The Tytherington Club

The Tytherington occupies a former limestone quarry site in Cheshire, transformed by Dave Thomas into a golf course that opened in the 1980s. Thomas, a former Ryder Cup player who became a prolific course architect across Europe, designed the layout to work with the dramatic elevation changes and exposed rock faces left by the quarrying operations. The routing makes extensive use of the quarry's natural amphitheater character, with holes playing across different levels and around the sculpted landforms.

The course features significant changes in elevation throughout the round, with several holes playing from elevated tees down into former quarry bowls and others climbing back up through the property. The limestone outcroppings and cliff faces remain visible features of the landscape, giving the course a distinctive visual character uncommon in the relatively flat Cheshire countryside. Water features were incorporated into the design, adding strategic elements to several holes.

The Tytherington Club operates as a members' club with additional facilities beyond golf, including tennis and leisure amenities. The course serves the local golfing community in the Macclesfield area of Cheshire, positioned in the northwest of England between Manchester and the Peak District. The quarry-to-golf transformation represents a particular type of land reclamation project that became more common in British golf course development during the late twentieth century.
