Great track

This is a cracking course. Although a municipal, course was in great condition particularly after the poor spring weather we have had. Greens were a little slow but understandable being the bank holiday and hot weather. It is a fun course where you can have a go at some relatively short par 4s but there is also danger. Front nine are undulating whilst the back nine have a few ascents and descents. 11th,12th and 15th require a good tee shots to carry a deep, wide ravine. Played here over the winter and had a good day but vowed to come back in summer conditions. I was not disappointed.

Considering how wet it has been

Considering how wet it has been the greens were in great condition. The fairways are very wet in places but that is to be expected . The general layout is very good but some of the holes (11th especially) are spectacular.

One point is they had moved the last 6 holes around which made my gps useless and had to guess the distance's.

Not the best

This course is very hill about 9 of the holes I was playing blind but it was a course I did enjoy but wouldn’t go again. I think the course needs alot of TLC very boggy in places and the course lay out is confusing 5/10

Nice

Nice course, hilly and a long walk so would recommend a trolley! Greens were fast despite masses of rain we have had, a lot of the fairways were firm, off the fairway was wet and lost a few balls where they just dissappear! Layout a little confusing as first time, overall good course and will play again

Heaton Park golf

Played this course twice in last month and decided not again. Many years ago was well run and managed. The staff are pretty poor and the course even worse. The maintenance has severely dropped over the last two years. Greens are in very poor condition. I used to be a regular and kept giving it second chances. The place needs new management and money putting back into the course. No value for money and a buggy a must to get round unless your very fit.

Challenging public course

First of all, it is a wise choice to rent a buggy especially after raining. Path is very muddy and wet. Also it is a hilly course which need much extra energy for pulling a trolley . Apart from that, I would say it is a great course with different lay outs and many long distance par 4. It is absolutely huge challenge for a new golfer.

I have offered myself 2nd chance to visit the course few days later but this time I have applied for a golf cart in advance. 😜

Better than I expected

I had been told it was like a mountain goat course! Yes there are lots of ups and downs but that makes it interesting and challenging. You certainly need to be able to hit a ball, lots of my friends would struggle with som off the clearance’s as woman don’t hit huge ball. The tee boxes were in poor condition but the greens were great. The rough is long and my a dive is keep out. Really enjoyed our afternoon, sadly you have to pay for B parking as well.

Undulating Course

Enjoyed playing Heaton Park for the first time with 4 friends. Despite the weather we all enjoyed the round of golf. No holes the same, very undulating but a good challenge. Will come again.

Great condition especially considering the weather

Been playing regularly for around a year and it's only got better. It's been playing particularly well lately considering the very wet weather! Interesting layout, some tough holes (15!) and always friendly and welcoming staff!

Great day!

My brothers and me played for the first time at Heaton Park on Sat all at different levels of play, and as a beginner I really enjoyed the course even though it is hilly as everyone says the views and great holes make for a great day. Even though it was busy at the cafe booking office the girls were friendly and helpfully to anyone who needed assistance. We will definitely be back and may even bring my daughter and wife to try the par3 pitch and putt!

I think for the price this course is one of the best I’ve played. Each hole has its own individual feature.

Great Municipal Course

Challenging course, plenty of hills and blind shots with some excellent views across Manchester. Great price compared to other courses and great for beginners and the complete opposite of an uptight snobby golf club. Bacon butty and a pint after the round - jobs a goodun

Challenging

Very hilly course with ravines to negotiate. Some blind holes. Definitely need to be fit to walk the course. Need an electric trolley. Greens were slow and bumpy, reflecting the winter and wet spring. Parking a nightmare. It is sign posted but when you turn in, you enter a public pay and display car park. There were no empty spaces. Apparently, if you can find a space, don’t buy a ticket but instead inform the clubhouse. They will note your car number in a book. If the car park is full, inform the clubhouse and they will open a gate for additional free parking
