Heaton Park Golf Centre

This course is a gem, some great holes. Considering the recent weather it was in outstanding condition. No doubt I would have given it 5 stars if I had played in the summer. Very hilly course! You know you have played a hard walking course. Some of the holes are really tiring. However it makes every shot interestingly different. You have to be fit to play the course though. Had great time, fully recommended! £10 an absolute steal!

You would not believe this is a municipal!

Challenging undulating course, 2 signature holes at 11th and 15th. Course is in fantastic condition given recent downpours.

Needed a 'goto' course outside my own club (particularly in winter when I want to play of the deck and be challenged) - and at last found it on my own doorstep!

COURSE IN EXCELLANT CONDITION FOR NOVEMBER DRAINS WELL GREENS EXCELLANT , GREAT VALUE AND GOOD CHALLENAGE UP AND DOWN AND FAIRWAYS FALLING AWAY TO LEFT AND RIGHT

I booked the slot less than hour before the time despite a forecast of rain.

I have played this course once before but not for six months. A few tees were off mats and others were not but that's understandable given the amout of rain that it had put down the previous week.

The fairways, other than the odd soggy patch, were in surprisingly good condition. The greens were also in very good condition. Very slow, but again, perfectly understandable.

The only criticism I had was that the holes could do with a map as one hole in particular is a sharp right handed dog leg. I didn't know this so I hit probably the best drive of the round straight down the middle - 220 yards odd target which cost me a 9.

Overall, very impressed again.

Final score = +13

If you like hills, blind tee and bilnd second shots and guessing the right fairway to play, you'll love playing here. The greens can only be seen from the tee on 3 holes Heavily sanded greens mean they are playable after the heaviest of rain but the sand does hold the ball up and a firm rap is required. The course would benefit hugely from hole illustrations at each tee. The 15th fairway is very close to the 16th 17th and 18th and there is no clue which direction to play the second shot. Confusing and annoying.You will need to keep the ball on the fairway as the Heather and thick rough are punishing. Take plenty of golf balls, a few energy bars and some krsmpons.

great venue, never a bad day for this course a true test of golf

I have never seen this course in the superb condition it is at present hats off to the greens staff they are making this a class golf course
