Trafford Golf Centre announces exciting expansion to meet growing demand

News | 20 Nov

Trafford Golf Centre, Europe’s premier golf practice facility and home to the UK’s largest golf academy, has announced a significant investment to enhance and expand its facilities. The project aims to address increasing visitor demand and solidify Trafford Golf Centre’s position as a world-class leisure destination within TraffordCity, Manchester.

The expansion includes:

  • Construction of a three-storey, 15-bay West Wing extension designed in a modern ‘lounge bay’ style, providing an elevated and comfortable experience for guests.
  • Development of a three-storey, six-bay East Wing extension, which will be home to The Academy, the Centre’s state-of-the-art golf coaching and improvement facility.
  • Upgraded perimeter fencing and improved outfield layout to enhance every guest’s golf experience.
  • Construction of new maintenance unit buildings to support operational growth.
  • A full refurbishment of the existing two-storey facility to create an improved drive, dine and drink in-bay experience.

Trafford Golf Centre’s success sits at the heart of the growing TraffordCity destination - the UK’s most experiential retail and leisure location - further strengthening its appeal as a hub for sport, shopping and family entertainment.

Commitment to innovation, sustainability and providing an exceptional customer experience

To facilitate the works, the driving range bays will temporarily close from 5th January 2026 for approximately 12 weeks, with a full reopening from April onwards. Throughout the closure, The Club House, American Golf, The Academy and Dino Falls Adventure Golf will remain open to the public.


Pete Styles, Director of Golf, commented:

This expansion represents a significant milestone in Trafford Golf Centre’s evolution. The enhancements not only respond to growing demand but also reflect our commitment to innovation, sustainability and providing an exceptional customer experience. This investment underlines our vision to position our venue as a hub for golfers, families and corporate groups alike.”


Located a stone’s throw from The Trafford Centre, Trafford Golf Centre is the UK’s most popular golf and leisure facility, welcoming up to 2,000 daily visitors and hitting over 23 million balls annually. The centre’s unparalleled offerings include The Academy, the country’s largest golf tuition facility, Dino Falls Adventure Golf, and a flagship American Golf retail store. The planned expansion builds on this success, addressing long-standing demand.

Designed to attract a diverse audience

The redevelopment is designed to attract a diverse audience, from passionate golfers seeking to refine their skills to corporate groups and families looking for unique leisure experiences. For business partners, the enhanced facilities will offer premium spaces for corporate events and team-building opportunities, further strengthening Trafford Golf Centre’s position as a leading venue for professional engagement.
