In 1883, the words "St Andrew’s" was dropped and the original Manchester Golf Club became known as the "'Old' Manchester Golf Club".

The club originally played on a 9-hole course at Manley Park.

With the lease on the course expiring, the club was on the move again in 1912, this time to Hopwood Park.

The 18-hole course at Hopwood Park was designed by Harry Shapland Colt.

In 1925, the club secured its home when it bought the freehold.
