Heaton Park Golf Club

Designed by former Open champion and world-renowned golf architect, J. H. Taylor, it was opened to the public in 1912 and has been the host venue for many prestigious events, both professional and amateur.

The course boasts spectacular views over the Pennines and surrounding countryside and offers several imposing tee shots. Three lakes play a prominent part in every round, especially on the 193-yard 11th. Being the longest par three and signature hole to the course, Taylor designed a challenge for all golfers across a deep water filled ravine, to a raised plateau green. Henry Cotton once described this hole as 'the toughest par three in England'.
