Artist's impression of the new clubhouse
Phase one
£500,000 into the club, first
Phase one is a new members' bar with a terrace looking over the 18th, and new locker rooms. The first places members will feel the difference are the places they gather after a round.
Investment in the course
The ground members play on
Phase one is the clubhouse. The rest of the plan goes into the course itself, from the first tee to the last green.
Robotic mowing
A consistent, high quality cut across key areas of the course.

A club with a long memory, and a plan for the years ahead. We will add to this page as each step is delivered.

The club is founded
Bury Golf Club begins at Redvales.
1920
MacKenzie's eighteen
Dr Alister MacKenzie and his partners lay out the course at Unsworth Hall, opened in stages from 1921. His routing is the one the members still play.

One member's draw
One person wins a full membership of Bury Golf Club. Existing, former and new members can all enter.
It is not a vote for Joe and me. It is a vote for the club, by people who have given it their time and their weekends and in a lot of cases their whole golfing lives and who have decided that the best way to protect it is to let us carry the load.

A rebuilt range, improved hospitality, new machinery and wider investment transformed the experience in year one.
Link Golf UK also runs Marland, Heaton Park, Stanley Park, Derby and London Airlinks. Link Club is separate: it is for private members’ clubs, and each keeps its own name, board and freehold. How Link Club works.
