Description
Crosland Heath Golf Club, located in the stunning Pennine Hills above Huddersfield, is a captivating testament to the legendary course designer Dr Alister MacKenzie. Formed in 1914, the course is a remarkable transformation of disused quarries and redundant farmland into an inspiring heathland layout that showcases MacKenzie’s unrivalled imagination and design brilliance.
MacKenzie’s legacy extends worldwide, with masterpieces such as Royal Melbourne, Cypress Point, and Augusta National—the revered home of the Masters Tournament. Crosland Heath holds its own among these icons, combining natural beauty with a challenging yet enjoyable golfing experience.
Standing proudly as one of the highest courses in the UK, Crosland Heath offers breath taking panoramic views in all directions. From its elevated position, golfers can marvel at vistas stretching over Huddersfield and into the old East Riding, while stunning sights to the North, South, and West complete the unforgettable scenery.
The course’s unique layout ensures an exciting challenge for players of all abilities. Its greens are renowned for their exceptional quality, and the par-three holes are widely celebrated as the finest on any course. While its lofty Pennine setting might suggest a demanding walk, Crosland Heath is remarkably flat and accessible, offering a non-arduous round amidst unparalleled natural surroundings.
Weather conditions play a dynamic role in the course’s character, influencing club selection and strategy. Each round is a fresh adventure, making Crosland Heath a course you’ll want to play again and again.
Visitors are met with a warm and friendly reception from members and staff, creating a welcoming atmosphere that enhances the overall experience. The club’s reputation for hospitality, combined with the quality of the course, has led to an impressive number of visitors returning year after year.
As described in the Huddersfield Daily Examiner in 1913: “Players who follow the little white ball will have a course full of interest from the first hole to the last.” This sentiment holds true today, as Crosland Heath continues to delight and challenge golfers over a century later.
