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”. Open daily, we welcome all standards of golfers, from juniors and novices to the more senior and advanced golfer, we can also cater for golf societies.
The Clubhouse is open daily from 8am and we welcome golfers and non-golfers to enjoy the food and beverage on offer. We have all Sky Sports and BT Sports channels and there is a function room available to hire for private parties and funerals.

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.

Very undulating course with 3 Valley of doom drives. Really enjoyed. Fairways are great, greens are well drained but slow, never had a slow game at this course as its usually well spaced out. Views are great across the course, loads of wildlifeReviewer Rating

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 ????
