Frodsham Golf Club. (1890s - 2022) 

The club first appeared in the 1890s on a course to the east of Manley Road, it continued to be shown at this location until 1924.

The later club was founded in 1990.

It was reported in November 2022 that the later course had permanently closed and was to become a “Wooded haven for wildlife.”
