Heaton Moor Golf Club

3 fellow players all new to course & really enjoyed it. Found front 9 more interesting, than back 9 which has a few long straight holes.
Greens recently spiked & sanded but still rolled ok.
Not too busy for a sunny Friday afternoon - good welcome from pro shop & all members we met very friendly.
Course in good condition & a fair test for our different ability levels.
At £20 still very good value - will definitely play again.

The greens had just been treated and sanded so no comment on that front. Value for money and a quick knock is probably the best I can say. Nothing stood out as being particularly bad but equally, nothing stood out as brilliant. The public walk through on the course can be a little off putting...kids just popping up when you’re about to hit your drive would stop me coming back.

A tale of two 9 hole courses, front 9 is quite short with a few nice par 3’s The back 9 is longer and tighter, great greens on all 18

The front and back 9 and very different to say the least! The front shooting my best 9 hole score this year and 45 (28 handicapper) and the back in 52 so over all not a bad score.
The greens were immaculate and well kept, I look forward to coming back.

What a lovely course. Have to plot your way around to avoid the natural challenges the course offers. Can see all of the hard work by the green staff is paying off. Well maintained! A great parkland challenge. Really friendly head pro who was happy to chat. 5/5

I’ve only been playing golf for 6 weeks or so, and this is by far one of the best courses I’ve played on. Not only were the fairways and greens in top condition, but the course was really friendly for beginner golfers. It’s has a good mix of long and short holes with very few challenging holes with hazards. It’s also extremely flat which is a bonus when carrying your bag! I’d highly recommend and would definitely go back.

I have to agree with a number of previously posted reviews that I saw before I booked. Really well maintained, tees, fairways and greens. Many greens have interesting shapes and sizes. Relatively forgiving for slightly wayward tee shots, but that will not make this an easy course for most that take it on, with a selection of pars 3,4 and 5. All those associated with the club, who I spoke with, could not have been more welcoming and courteous. I will certainly be coming back to enjoy this challenge again. Only reason for not giving 5 stars throughout was that some of the greens/fairways were a little damp (no standing water) but that might be down to the fairly early tee time and some over night rain. It is Manchester after all!

Played Heaton Moore for the first time this morning and what a place.

The members and other golfers are amazingly friendly and so are the staff.

Great stiocked shop and facilities

Plus I shot my llowest score to date here
Ifbyou are in the area give it a go you won't be disappointed

My only negative is a it maybe needs a couple of next tee this way signs especially from 9th - 10th as the tree trunk has grown over it

And maybe a sighting post over the bushes on the 15th as you can't see anything from the tee box although the hole maps on each hole are great

I will be back thankyou very much

Just 7 miles from home and yet we'd never heard of it, Heaton Moor turned out to be a little gem of a course. Although it rained hard at times, and there was standing water on some greens, they remained playable throughout. Premium on accuracy rather than length, pretty flat but still with interesting and challenging holes. What could be described as a course which suits the more mature player, but what's wrong with that?!

Can't really comment on off course elements given Covid issues, but we plan to return on a more sunny day when we can better appreciate the whole package.

Played Heaton again after appearing there many years ago with a golf society. All the staff and members were polite and helpful. The course was in good condition even tho the greens had recently been hollow timed.Overall a good experience.

Good course , enjoyed it even tho the greens had recently been prepped and readied for winter

Great course friendly staff and members, great stocked shop and a great course will be coming back

Straight away a feeling of being unwanted, staff are extremely rude. I played 3 holes where the local bunch of youths were sat round the green shouting stuff at golfers. Staff did not seem to be bothered by it and did nothing. I asked the pro in the shop for some advice to which I was greeted by a blunt reply. If your face isnt known around there then dont expect a warm welcome.

Played for the first time here. Really friendly Club and good conditions for the time of year/recent weather - will definitely return
