Discover the picturesque beauty of Heaton Park Golf Course, nestled in the heart of Manchester's most famous park. Under new management by PGA Golf Professional Andrew Terry and Finance Director Joe Jackson, this municipal club is set to bring exciting improvements to benefit local golfers. Designed by the legendary five-time Open Champion J. H. Taylor, the parkland course boasts stunning views over the Pennines and surrounding countryside, providing an extraordinary experience for players.
Having opened its gates to the public in 1911, Heaton Park Golf Course has a rich history as a host venue for numerous prestigious events, both professional and amateur. Notably, the 193-yard 11th hole, designed by J. H. Taylor, poses a thrilling challenge as golfers must navigate a deep water-filled ravine to reach the raised plateau green. The renowned former Open Champion, Henry Cotton, once deemed this hole "the toughest par-3 in England."
If you're short on time or just starting your golfing journey, the Pitch and Putt course is the ideal choice. With all holes being Par 3, this course provides a quick and enjoyable game, maintained to the same high standards as the main course.

Founded in 1912, the club has been a home course for golfers seeking an exceptional playing experience. The Heaton Park course, with 18 holes and a Par 69, stretches across 5,744 yards from the white tees.
