What the club says: Established in 1912, Heaton Park Golf Course is located within the scenic grounds of Heaton Park, Manchester. The 18 hole par 70 course, voted the best municipal course in Great Britain in 2005 was designed by 5 times Open Champion, John Henry Taylor and is 5,755 yards in length. This parkland course offers spectacular views across to the Pennines and surrounding countryside. The signature 11th hole is played across water and former Open Champion, Henry Cotton once described the long par-3 hole as “the toughest par-3 in England”.

Greens were not watered nd hard. Could not stop the ball at all. Too hilly. No clear signage for next tee. Ground too hard to put tees in. Too many blind shots. Never again. Played a four ball and we all agreed.

Course in good condition they have trimmed lots of rough down 15th hole still not playing as it should be they been waiting to repair a footpath from tee to fairway so hole has been considerably reduced in yardage such a good hole wich means you have to play the 14th as the 18th which is a good distance from the original 18th green hopefully gets resolved soon other than that great courseReviewer Rating

In my opinion the best municipal in the north west and potentially the country, well done for pulling this course back from the brink of 2no closures and COVID restrictions, please note it's a tough walk with many hills and blind shots, only minor issue is the collapsed bridge which has resulted in revised layout, manchester MBC please resolve soon.

Course very damp after heavy rains, but greens relatively fast and true. bunkers washed out, Fairways boggy in places but otherwise holding up, sadly too many 'scalps' and furrows ploughed in the fairways - why don't people learn the basics and replace divots etc. Tees a bit rough but not on mats. Major change, hole 14 now playing as last - apparently damage to bridge between 15th tee and it's fairway so shortened 15th plays after hole 13.

Testing course for first timers on this course. Lots of blind shots and lots of long carri es over valleys which are quite daunting for the shorter hitters. For a public course, it's really good. Need to be fit as there are some hard climbs!!

Excellent layout
Similar to what I said in April.A fantastically laid out course, uses the contours brilliantly, just a shame it needs a bit of TLC.
It's a fantastic walk, with quite a few challenging hills, great views across Manchester & the penines.
It just needs a bit of care, I know they can't help kids going on the course on motorbikes, but looking past that there are some scruffy places & the greens aren't the best.
This layout, in great condition, would challenge most of the great parkland golf courses that I've played.
It's definitely worth a visit.

Fairways fine and being cut again whilst we played. Tees for yellow were the longest I've seen here. Sadly most of the greens were very dry and certainly difficult to hold, also not settled down after spiking etc so bobbly.
Hardest hole SI 1 (15) made too difficult in my view with hard short cut fairway and by cutting the fringe too severely so unless you hit a great drive you are left with a must hit second shot of say 200+ yds to a tight angled green , anything short rolls to be lost in the OOB right. Many played it as a par 5 laying up short of a slope on the fairway or into the fringe left of the fairway which would hold or slow the ball sufficiently to stop it rolling down the slope into OOB, sadly this is not a current option. Suggested a build up on the right or a low board/ kerb barrier to prevent the ball rolling OOB. It is only early season and there has been little rain recently so despite the above the course is good value for money and recommended but beware it's extremely arduous - very hilly.

A Walk n a Half
Really enjoyedI haven’t played on a hilly course for a while, but this course made up for that.
Plenty of blind shot holes, shots from uphill/downhill/side hill lies, great variation..
Tee boxes, bunkers not in great condition, greens a bit slow, but time of year n rain, contributed to that.
Fairways were ok..
Very picturesque, a great walk (not easy), I’m not the longest of hitters, but I’m sure lower handicappers, would find easier.
For £12.50, great value.
Staff friendly n helpful..
Well worth playing ????
