The best municipal course for miles

After not playing here for 12 years, I have started to come back more and more, as I appreciate how diverse this course is.

It's got it all. Hills, flat, wide and narrow, water and sand.

Excellent value, go play it!

Course should be GUR

If the council had some money and time invested in tidying up the course (the bold decaying patchy greens, litter around the course tee beds battered) this course could be one of the best municipal in the region. Some great holes in terms of layout and valleys to play over but just needs more care for the greens especially.

Not as good as it once was

A few things would help:-

Car park signs would have you pay and display, but when playing golf you don’t need to. Can you get that info to golfers ok booking?

A couple of signs missing for hope direction.

Greens in very good condition. Front nine well maintained in general. All bunkers are terrible and need a lot of work.

Overall, ok, but I played here a few years ago and it was far better maintained.

I would t rush back for the same price can play nicer and better maintained courses.

Heaton park

Great course, very hilly. They need buggies. Not allowed to advertise that the parking is free because of the council, so ended up paying for parking £3.

Great course though.

So much potential

Ex municipal course and could be really good. Tatty tee beds and small greens. The greens were in good condition. Fees at £17 per person. Would struggle if unfit as very hilly on some holes.

A must

It’s been described in many ways my assertion.it’s hilly it’s difficult it’s wonderful and ridiculously cheap to play. I revisit once in a while as a physical and grin from ear to ear. Because of the price don’t expect quick round to do so misses the chance to enjoy so many different views. The standard of course is not perfect but you won’t have challenged your game if you never play it. Ask any Mancunian golfer all will say difficult track..an absolute must..I play off 12 it always makes a monkey out of me..

Slow play, no rules.

Played a 4 ball on Sunday and from the first tee I could see that this wouldn’t be like the usual courses I have played.

There were two chaps waiting to tee off who wore t shirts and Nike TN’s and were also sharing a golf bag between them. I’m far from a golf snob but this seemed odd.

I couldn’t fault the fairways; good condition considering how many people seem to play this course. The Greens however weren’t great. There was barely any grass on them what so ever

From the third hole we were stuck waiting to tee off right up until the 18th. Way too many people playing and also nobody seemed to enforce the rules.

A couple of young workers flew past us whilst we playing on a number of occasions and could clearly see the course was backed up due to slow play but nothing was said or done about this

Wouldn’t play here again.

Really slow

Played as a 1 ball took me 4 and a half hours,, got caught behind a three ball on the second hole, they didn’t let me through until the 12th by which time we had caught up with another three ball in front of them (they were not in sight when I first caught up). Alongside this, other people were clearly joining the course having not paid. Also on one hole a Walker was picking up golf balls and picked up mine and walked off with it. Nobody checking the course at any point. Very little instruction when I arrived at the course and no available on site parking due to busyness. Really poor experience, a shame because the course is a challenge and has a good variety of holes.

Wonderful winter golf

Course in good condition when you think how many people play it. All greens and fairways open. Greens were in good condition and course was as challenging as ever.

I would recommend that every golfer should play this at least once.
