The Club

Originally conceived in the Stockport district in 1913 by a group who delighted in the name 'The Niblicks'. Their aim was not to form a golf club, but a society, to enable a group of friends to play golf on certain fields. It quickly became apparent that it had indeed become a golf club.
The Club continued happily until 1966, road proposals put a threat to its future existence and in 1969 the shareholders agreed to sell the land and purchase Worth Hall Farm in Poynton to enable the construction of an 18 hole course.
The last competition at Garners Lane was played on 29th September 1973 and the members moved to Worth Hall in the first week of October. Since those early days playing membership has trebled and in the intervening years the club has invested significant sums in developments and improvements - the most significant of which was major expenditure in 2004-05 to provide proper facilities for the greenkeeping staff and a new professionals shop with 'state of the art' assessment and teaching aids.
The club has long valued its reputation as a friendly and unstuffy place in which to enjoy golf - on and off the course.

The Club is determined to maintain this philosophy as well as to make Davenport Golf Club a venue of first choice for those wishing to play a first class course and enjoy first class food and hospitality in comfortable and friendly surroundings.
