My first visit for Heaton Park Golf Club and first team actually in Heaton Park. Didn't play "proper" golf but played some pitch and putt. We were lucky with the weather and that it wasn't too busy. Decent course I think, although not much to compare to. Its a Par 3 course so all holes were par 3.
The car parking cost £1.50 - although after playing golf, we went to another part of Heaton Park and parked in another car park - but kept the car park ticket/token so didn't need to pay again - although there was no one there to check anyway.
Back to the golf (pitch and putt). We went on weekend so was £6. You can hire clubs - was told beforehand it was £10 but he just instead took some ID had and kept that.
Golf balls were 50p each but he just lent us a couple each.
We came around 2 on a Saturday. Bit too busy. Only a couple behind us and they played similar pace. Was a group in front of us with father and 2 young children - had to wait for them a bit but no too bad. One of the issues with Pitch and Putt - especially with people not that good at golf (Inc. me) so ball could go anywhere! Any direction, any distance. Sometimes I hit it about 5 meters, sometimes more like about 40!
When we finished was much busier. 3 groups including a group with about small small children. Saw one group overtake them and just skipped a hole. read more
