Could be great

The course is a good course, pretty dry but very hilly. A lot of blind holes if you haven’t been before. The greens were terrible! Lots of waiting on every hole! Just too many people on it.

Considering the weather

Considering the 3 days of torrential rain we had had previous to our visit, we expected to find it very boggy. However the new drainage has done well and only a small patch between the temporary 18th tee & green were bad the rest were really good.. If you could also take care when coming back past the 13th Green its a bit treacherous with people playing down whilst you have to go round the back of the green as the path is knackered.

Course conditions

The walk between 13 & the temp 14 is horrendous & needs serious attention. Also off course you could do with a compressed air bower for cleaning up before packing your stuff in the car.

Really good course for the money

Nice course seemed to be well maintained. When you park up go into the club house before paying as I got told I didn’t have to pay for parking after I had already paid. 1 hole was closed but you could come back to it from a different side if you wanted to. I’d definitely go back to play there really enjoyed the course

Great course, currently undergoing improvements works

Course was in very good condition for a municipal. Greens were smooth and fast. The bunkers are under going improvements it seems. A lot had been dug out or filled in and we actually seen the digger out on course working on them. Course in a lot better condition than when I played last year. Excellent value for money with great views of the hills on one side and Manchester on the other. It is a physical test though, so be prepared to walk up and down a lot of hills. Also has a temporary layout due to an issue with a bridge. Is it a tour level course? No. But it seems to be improving and offers tremendous value.

Ok for a municipal

Played here a couple of times last year and I was really impressed with how well the course was kept, was quite disappointed this time. Tea boxes were a mess, bunkers were non-existent should’ve been GUR but we’re not, was like hitting off gravel path and greens were covered in weeds, holes not cut straight

Such a shame as the course itself layout wise has some really great holes,it just hasn’t been maintained properly at all this year. Shame as last year it was in pretty good nick to say it is a municipal golf course.

Was ok for a knock

Greens were well kept. Bunkers were poor. Fairways were ok but some area they appear to have struggled to cut.

Hot Sunday of hilly golf

Not played the course for 20 years.
Forgot how hilly it was, recommend a buggy really if warm once a year😄,
Overall pace was quite slow 4.5 hours although a 4 ball let us through, one didn’t for last few 4 holes.
Greens a little slow but had played on really fast ones 2 days before.
Some complication around hole 15 not just us but also group behind.
Hard course to play lots of balls needed if not straight, many blind shots which is awkward if you haven’t played the course before hence buggy might help to go and see what you are playing.
Overall a fun day in the sun.

Hilly course with small greens

Played on Father’s Day. Very busy, so pace of play was slow. Very welcoming and friendly by staff and fellow golfers.
Really nice rolling course, only £22 for a 10.24am tee time at the weekend. It’s rolling/hilly blind tee shots. The scorecard and good enough pictures of the layout to navigate.
It’s not an easy walk, so my playing partner got a buggy which they recommend booking in advance.
Look forward to going back 🏌️‍♂️

Has potential but needs some serious investment

The course is extremely hilly for a start. Wouldn’t be an issues if they had enough buggies available but walking with a bag or pulling a trolley is a slog. We had a relatively fit 75 year old with us and he couldn’t play some holes due to the terrain. Not sure what they have done with the course recently with holes 15-17 but it was a total confusion of which green was which and none of the apps recognised the layout and there were golf balls and golfers flying everywhere choosing wrong hole. More signage on tea boxes required. The negatives out of the way it has huge potential as the views are amazing and there are some real challenging and picturesque holes. It was actually value for money but being a low funded municipal I guess we got what was expected but such a shame as with investment it would a great course. Not for the unfit!

Hilly Place

Very hilly, fairways good condition but just off then get to hacking 😁, confusing hole layout on final stretch, not too bad for £14 but buggy defo required especially on ☀️ day.

Best bang for your buck

For £16 it’s hands down the best value round of golf in Manchester.
Fairways, tee boxes, greens all very decent. A couple a bit bobbly but we’ve had a lot of rain and the course is playing great.
Bear in mind Bury is £35 a round.
Heaton Park is £16 a round.
Heaton Park is better imho with more challenges.
Super value.
