Centenary Year  

2021

The Cheshire Union of Golf Clubs was formed on 23rd November, 1920.

Our Centenary celebrations were scheduled for 2020, however Covid-19 put paid to those, so we've put everything back to 2021.
We'll be publishing details of Centenary events in the near future. A book to mark the Centenary will also be published early in 2021. It will be distributed to clubs and available to purchase.
