The Best Golf Courses in Greater Manchester, United Kingdom (2025)

Play here today: the golf course was challenging, and you had to think your way round. Pro shop was excellent, and the club house was very welcoming, will definitely return ! Only 2 things : no litter bins , easy solved, and a bit of a walk between some holes, which can't be helped I'm playing it again next week. I'm really looking forward to it , staff were very helpful. The course was well laid out

Enjoyed a great Monday morning 18 holes with my best mate, course was in very good condition, lovely breakfast butty and a well earned pint afterwards, thats what retirement is all about 🏌‍♂️🍻👌

Styal is a privately owned club with flexible members plans and pay per play. It has a 18 hole par 69 course and a 9 hole par 3 course great for your short game. The main course is ideal for beginners and still offers a challenge for the low handicap players. The clubhouse is separately run and is open after 8am. Snacks and meals are available and the bar from 10am until 3pm. They do occasional fun evening events and Sunday lunch. Pre-book essential.

Me and My 2 boys contacted them to play when we travelled to Manchester from Boston in May 2023. They were very helpful and nice. Rental clubs were available, and course was a fun change from local Boston courses. Staff was great..... Recommend for a fun day.

Very good pitch and putt course, has plenty of features and challenges that will bring you back playing it again and again - no two rounds are the same. Generally has been well maintained and a few holes now have new teeing off mats however some need replacing.

Great course. Fantastic views some really good holes. Ended up with a birdie and five pars. Shot under 100 for the first time. Only negative play was really slow. Got stuck behind two four balls and I was on my own. Some daunting tee shots but a great challenge

I’ve played here a lot over the years and the new guys running it have got it into the best condition I’ve ever seen it. Quite hilly and a lot of blind shots but if you’re hitting it straight it’s not a problem. Some excellent holes and some amazing views. One of the best courses in the north west without a doubt.

Played Heaton Park Golf Course today was supprised at what a fantastic condition the course was in especially the greens. Credit to the greenkeepers Very hilly course with lots of blind shots. Once you have played a few times you know where to hit the ball for best position. Fantastic views from the golf course. Staff friendly and welcoming.

Played the course today 12th January 2025 for the first time With all the rain,snow and frost we have had over past few weeks the course played well even though a bit Icy and frozen ground in parts and sparse patches of snow Good value for the cost Will be back when weather improves Only one downfall was the pond on 1st hole lol😳⛳🏌‍♂️😃

We came back from France for my sister in laws birthday meal held at the Golf club on the 9th of November. A very pleasant setting with friendly, welcoming staff. One of the bar staff was particularly helpful, I didn't have a poppy to commemorate Armistice day as I had arrived the day before. She very kindly found one for me. I would strongly recommend it.

Fairways are really nice to hit off. Spongy and in great condition. Greens are a little dry in places but very true. Some short par 4's but also some brutal par 4's. Lovely layout and thoroughly recommend it. Saw someone's bag in the pond on the 18th which made me chuckle. Though surprised no one has cleaned it up and put it in a bin as seems to have been there a long time.

An enjoyable round of golf and never overly crowded. Teed off at 2pm and nobody followed us so me and wife had a great 3hours. Although not too many golfers were around the wildlife was just as entertaining. The route to the course is also as entertaining. It follows the line of the canal but needs resurfacing as the undulating road is part single, part double lane which you cannot speed down as unexpected cars appear around each sharp corner. The bar is ok but as I have designed many golf clubs in my time it could do with a good redesign to take advantage of the great surrounding landscape and aspects over the greens that surround the the club. There are the usual training rooms with in-house golf pro teachers for the young golfers wanting to learn the skills we older golfers would have wanted to have access to when we first started to learn the sport/pastime. Wonderful time playing golf in the sunshine.

Had a poor winter with greens suffering due to the unprecedented rainfall but has well and truly turned the corner now. The introduction of the new head greenskeeper along with the hard work of the current staff has got the greens back to their best and the fairways are fantastic. Great value for money. Good to see it back to the standard it should be!

Lovely golf course to play on. Highly recommended for beginners too. And the greens were outstanding, not a bit of moss/weed in them.

Beautiful course. Friendly staff and members. 10th hole sign for No Drivers allowed on the hole needs to be more prominent. I totally missed it because the tee box is way in front of the sign. If it wasn't for a member telling me, I was hitting driver... Will definitely visit again

Great course. Some puddles today as expected due to the lovely Manchester rain but the guys were on the course sorting them out

Excellently maintained municipal course with some really challenging holes. Easy to book and great value for money. Five stars.

After night rain, let's say 4 from 5, i liked

This is a nice golf course. We played it in the middle of a lod of rain so the course was wet but it held up pretty well. I think any course would have struggled with the amount of rain we'd had and a lot of courses would have closed. All the course was in play and all the greens were in use. The only quibble I have is the layout of the facilities. The clubhouse is separate from the proshop and the driving range so you end up sat in the proshop waiting area rather than the bar if you're waiting to play or for others to come in, which is a bit unusual.

Great staff,even better course,played on October 4th in our society,despite the down pour the night before the course wad immaculate,will definitely be back every year without doubt,could do with a map of some sort either on card or the tee signs but top course many thanks.

Junk Yard Golf Club is an absolutely fantastic place to spend time with loved ones and friends. Zuzanna welcomed us very friendly and explained everything as we played for the first time. The atmosphere is lovely, and the staff are incredibly friendly, making you feel right at home. Not only is the beer reasonably priced, but the courses are brilliantly designed, offering a fun mix of challenging and quirky obstacles. It’s the perfect spot for a fun day or night out with friends, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique experience.

1st time playing Crazy Golf was really fun. This place has the retro vibe on point. 2 things I was not too impressed was the air con was too stuffy making it very hot esp when on the golfing course and the fact you serve beers in plastic cups for me personally ruins the taste of the beer.

Very well laid out and a great theme and design. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and we went with our 2 children so very appealing for some good family fun. The courses aren’t too complex so you can get around them relatively quickly if you want to, so with that in mind I would recommend doing 18 holes at least.

Had some good fun in this place, definitely a quirky place with some good and fun ideas for crazy golfing, something different than other crazy golf spots. Would recommend to groups and for a fun time out for most people who want to try and activity out. They have different areas, a bar for drinks at any time, and fun arcade section to bring back some old memories (I played street fighter and guitar heroes) and a good mix of music to get your jam on at the same time. A word of warning for those who struggle with strobe lighting, there is a lot of flashing lights which can be problematic for some people.
