Anybody up for a round on any of these dates? Midweek a fourball can play for £9 each if booked through teeofftimes (£15 in the clubhouse) and its slightly more expensive at weekends. For those who havent played it, Its a very interesting course with many of the holes being played blind and over hills and ravines. Its a municipal and very casual so no formalities nor skill necessary (suits me fine).

Its a very hilly course and is a long slog considering its under 6000yds but it also drains well due to the slopes. Its within easy reach of most of the north west being just off the m60 which is also handy. I can arrange it for nearly and Sunday or Wednesday so dates are flexible.
 
I can do most Mondays too. I was planning on playing this Monday to get some practice in and also to see what condition it is in. Feel free to come along.
 
forecast is a bit iffy for Monday but I dont mind a bit of rain, my course is in decent nick if you fancy a game there, its only £7 as a guest of a member or I am happy to give HP a try.
 
I fancy Heaton park on Monday and I don't want to embarrass you at your home club with the way I'm currently playing. It is £10 per person on teeofftimes on Monday and it is usually completely empty during the week.
 
Next week is a complete no-no for me so will have to pass but will definitely get a game with you over there soon.

Most of my lectures end in December so pretty much any day is good for me over Christmas/January, just give me a shout when you're about.

Yeah 11 is fine. Do you want me to book a 2-ball via teeofftimes and you can pay me on the day? Could also just book 2 singles as it is so quiet that it will make no difference for them.
 
I was just about to post on here myself, see you there, we might even get lucky with the weather. I think its £10 each for a 2ball.
 
Hope the game went well, weather stayed ok.

I managed to get out for 18 but it wasn't until after 12 and only knew too late to join you guys. I love the in-laws, sometimes....

We had a great round today, the golfing gods were with us and it barely rained at all. The course was in decent nick for what is essentially a municipal and it was a tough walk as usual. We were both shattered after 18.

I played much better than delamere and Louise played to handicap easily bar a few putting issues here and there. The course itself is an interesting challenge with almost every hole having a blind tee shot. I don't think either of us had an approach shot that wasn't on some form of slope or blind into the green. For a tenner each, it was a great day of golfing.
 
As Danny said, it was a great round, although very tiring with all the ups and downs, the weather held until we reached the last and bar the tee beds and bunkers it is in decent nick for a muni.

Lesssaid about my putting the better, I cuuld have played the back nine in level par instead of 4 5 over if it hadn't been for several 3 putts and missed under 2 foot putts.
 
I used to love playing Heaton park. A great test with a lot of really strong holes. I probably been about 8/9 years since I played there but I certainly haven't forgot the par 3 11th :D Stunning hole, if I hit the green on that hole I went home happy!
:whoo:
 
I managed to get on the green in 1 on that hole and make a par :D it was definitely my best tee shot of the day. I would have left the course extremely happy if I hadn't have left my PW somewhere on the back 9 :/.
