Golf Networking in Cheshire: Business Networking at The Tytherington Club
If you run a business in or around Cheshire, finding a networking group that is worth the time is harder than it should be. Plenty of events are busy but forgettable. The Pro 5 Cheshire group takes a different approach: a closed room of local business owners who meet once a month at The Tytherington Club and get to know each other properly over breakfast and a round of golf.
This guide explains how golf networking works in Cheshire, who the group is for and how to come along as a guest.
Why golf works for networking in Cheshire
Most networking gives you sixty seconds to make an impression. A round of golf gives you four hours. Walking eighteen holes with three other business owners, you talk about work, family and plans, and you find out who you actually trust. That trust is where referrals come from.
For busy owners and directors across Macclesfield, Wilmslow, Knutsford and Congleton, a monthly meeting is also easier to commit to than a weekly breakfast club. It is one morning a month, at a venue you will look forward to visiting.
The venue: The Tytherington Club
The Cheshire group meets at The Tytherington Club, 90 Dorchester Way, Tytherington, Macclesfield, England, SK10 2JP. Members arrive for breakfast and the business session in the clubhouse, then head out on the course in mixed fourballs.
Being out of the office and on a good course changes the conversation. People relax, and that is when the useful business chats happen.
What happens at a meeting
Each meeting starts with breakfast and a structured business session. Members introduce themselves, explain who they would like to meet and pass referrals to each other. Visitors get the chance to introduce their business too.
After the session, members play golf together. Pairings are mixed every month so you get to know the whole group, not just the same faces. Golfers of every standard are welcome, including complete beginners, and nobody is judged on their handicap.
Who the Cheshire group is for
The group is for business owners, directors and senior professionals across Macclesfield, Wilmslow, Knutsford and Congleton and the wider Cheshire area. Typical members include accountants, solicitors, financial advisers, builders, IT providers, marketing agencies, recruiters and property professionals.
There is one seat per profession, so you never sit next to a direct competitor. If your trade is not yet represented in the group, that seat is open for you.
Cost and commitment
Pro 5 has no joining fee and no long tie-in. Membership starts from £69 + VAT a month, and green fees are set by the venue. You are free to belong to other networking groups as well, and members can visit other Pro 5 groups around the country to widen their network.
How to visit as a guest
The easiest way to decide is to come along. Check the next Cheshire meeting date on the group page, book a visitor place and join the group for breakfast, the business session and golf. There is no obligation to join.
