TC625 - Provision of a Heaton Park Golf Operator

Manchester City Council is seeking an innovative and forward thinking golf course operator to provide a high quality service at Heaton Park. We know that our golf course is an important part of our visitor offer and the exceptional parkland and unique setting gives a fantastic opportunity for the right operator to become part of the Heaton family at Manchester's flagship park. We also want the operator to help us take care of our bowling greens - another impressive facility in Heaton's portfolio which is part of Manchester's 2002 Commonwealth Games legacy.
