Frequently Asked Questions
Recently, we’ve been speaking with members of #teamcarden for our Meet The Team features. This week we speak with one of our long standing Golf Services team members, Mike Lyons…
Hi Mike, how long have you been a part of #TeamCarden and What is your job within the team?
I have been a part of the team for 6 years and I work in the Golf Services department.
How did you get into golf?
I started in the Vauxhall Motors Golf Society about 30 years ago. Becoming a fully-fledged member of Vicars Cross Golf Club around 20 years ago. Moving to Upton by Chester 5 years later. Playing regular golf there and the occasional round here at Carden.
Which golfers do you take inspiration from?
I take inspiration from Sergio Garcia and Francesco Molinari because I like how relaxed they are and I admire molinari’s swing.
Why did you choose Carden?
I was attending a BBQ with a friend who worked here. After a chat, he persuaded me to apply and It is one of the best moves I’ve made. I love it here!
Which is your favourite course to play?
Easy Choice – The Cheshire Course for me. It is more picturesque, has more character and is more of a challenge.
Any tips for any younger golfers?
Get lessons and practice.
Do you have any hobbies outside of Work?
I am big fan of cycling – I recently enjoyed watching a lot of the tour de france. I love the lake district and Snowdonia for taking walks in the mountains.

Pop the champagne and join us in congratulating Harri Williams, our. Executive Head Chef, on being crowned Chef of the Year at the Cheshire Life Food & Drink Awards 2026 🍾 Hosted at Carden Park, Harri was determined not to miss an evening dedicated to celebrating the region`s outstanding chefs and hospitality professionals. Rather than heading on his pre-planned holiday, he delayed his departure so he could work alongside his team and serve the bespoke menu they had created for the awards. Fortunately, we`re told his wife and friends were more than happy to wait a little longer, and are now enjoying celebrating an even more memorable start to the holiday following Harri`s well-deserved award win ✈️As he accepted his award, Harri dedicated it to his kitchen brigade - “without the team, none of this would be possible”Congratulations Harri and all of the Carden Park team@cheshirelifemag @joannegoodwingirlreporter
