Heaton Park Golf Course is a picturesque Championship standard golf course, situated in the scenic grounds of Heaton Park.
Designed by five times Open Champion J. H. Taylor it was opened to the public in 1911 and has been the host venue for many prestigious events, both professional and amateur such as the 1983 PGA club Prof championship, the 1984 ladies PGA tour event and the Junior Nick Faldo Tournaments.
A parkland course, it boasts spectacular views over the Pennines and surrounding countryside and offers several imposing tee shots. Three lakes in the park play a prominent part in every round, especially on the 193 yard 11th hole. Being a long par-3 and signature hole to the course, J. H. Taylor designed a challenge for all golfers across a deep water filled ravine, to a raised plateau green.
