Our People
Knutsford Golf Club has a dedicated team of voluntary council members and employees running the club. We are a member’s club run by the members for the members.
Day to day Club affairs are managed by our Honorary Secretary Peter Gough and his assistant Jane Mather.
The Club employs a number of colleagues responsible for delivering our outstanding course and clubhouse services.
Our Course Manager is David Jones. David is a vastly experienced and highly qualified course manager. He has a Distinction in Golf Course Management 2017 (SRUC Elmwood Scotland), was awarded R&A Scholarship 2014 (1 of 308 worldwide), and has been on the Walker Cup Support Team 2015 at Royal Lytham St Anne’s and the British Masters Support Team 2016 at The Grove London.
“My first job was at Vale Royal Abbey in 2006 where I learned a great deal. To develop my skills, my next move was to Hunley Hall Hotel and Golf in North Yorkshire in 2013” says Dave. “I moved back to the North West in 2016 to enjoy a great year at the fabulous and historic Southport and Ainsdale GC, then took on the role as course manager at Hartford GC before my move to Knutsford”.
David has Neil Sidebotham and Ben Lambert helping him to deliver the ambitious course improvement plans.
Our Clubhouse Manager is Steve Barker. Steve joined us from Bramhall Park GC and has been in and around the hospitality sector in Knutsford from the outset of his career. For fourteen years Steve worked in the recruitment industry where he was regional director of Search Consultancy Ltd specialising in the hospitality sector. He then owned and ran his own restaurant in Knutsford for five years. Steve brings great experience and energy to manage all Clubhouse services for members and guests and is supported by Sandra Kaczurba.
We are delighted to have David and Steve helping move our golf club forward. You can be assured they will look after you when you visit the club!
Testimonials
When I played KGC recently the course was in fantastic condition. It often goes unnoticed that to get a golf course in top shape, it takes committed individuals behind the scenes. It is clear from my visit this is one of its many strengths, alongside some of the recent refurbishments to add to its first class facilities. Please convey my thanks to all the staff involved.

I am a regular visitor to Knutsford with the famous MaxiTours events.
Your game needs to be in good order to play this interesting Course which is always in superb condition, has excellent greens and a challenging last two holes.

Following our visit in August 2021, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for last night.

The PGA and its professionals always look forward to being part of the Knutsford Pro-Am and this year was no different. Fortunately the weather behaved after a little bit of morning rain and the course held up fantastically. We saw some fantastic scoring both in the professional contest and the team Pro-Am, congratulations to all the winners. Huge thanks to Bob Sutton for being a great organiser, personally I always look forward to working with Bob year in year out. We at the PGA already cannot wait for next year’s Knutsford Pro-Am.

I played golf at Knutsford today, for the first time in the 5 years I have lived in Cheshire.
WOW! What a fantastic course and club it is, I was thoroughly impressed.
Thank you for allowing me courtesy of the course.
