There were negotiations over a long period of time, which culminated in the purchase of the golf course for £13,500, which was completed on 28 September 1923. Additional land to lengthen the golf course was purchased from Humphrey de Trafford on 25 March 1931 at a cost of £2,400.

This land comprised part of the 13th fairway running down to Davyhulme Road, the short 14th hole and the 15th fairway up to the line of beech trees guarding the 15th green.

Having purchased this additional land there was a problem because the back garden of the cottage on the right of the 14th tee was 29 feet wide but 216 yards long and formed a barrier between the existing course and the new land purchased from Humphrey de Trafford.

It was therefore necessary to negotiate the purchase of the strip of land at a cost of £100. Thus by 1931 the whole of land comprising the present golf course had been purchased at a total cost of £16,000.
