THE COURSE

 

Laid out in 1899, our Par 71 Championship Course can justly claim to be one of the oldest in Yorkshire and provides a real challenge for golfers of all handicaps.

 

Set out in 6,300 yards, it is a moorland links which commands stunning views over Baildon and Rombald Moors. Two special features, Greenhouse Hill and Birkin Hill, have irregular contours and accommodate the testing Par 4 10th and Par 3 14th, both of which require accurate shots to well protected greens.

 

The course runs in two loops with the 10th hole and 18th hole each finishing outside the Clubhouse. Many holes are played along well-defined, tree-lined fairways to spacious, but fast and testing greens with subtle borrows.

 

Always in immaculate condition, the course has recently undergone an impressive £1 million improvement programme to ensure that it remains pristine and playable throughout the seasons in all but the most adverse weather conditions.


The course continues to be used for many prestigious Yorkshire Championships and is the home of The Hawksworth Trophy, a 36-hole strokeplay competition for the leading amateur golfers in Northern England.
