Where2Golf says:
Hallamshire Golf Club, located in Sandygate just outside the city of Sheffield, is another in England's excellent lineage of heathland golf courses designed by the great Harry Colt. Characterised by large pockets of heather, gorse and bilberries, the undulating heather-clad layout sits on acidic, peaty soil, which produces excellently conditioned fairways, as well as firm, true greens.
This tree-lined and open heathland layout should not disappoint, with many attractive features and several excellent holes to enjoy. Plenty of golfing challenge and good upkeep contribute to the appeal of this well-crafted design. One to include on your play list if you are in the area.

| Koksijde Golf ter Hille Golf Club: on what was previously open farmland, an enjoyable and challenging links-style layout has been crafted. Perhaps the inspiration for Koksijde's new course came from a renowned Harry Colt layout that existed in the 1920s just a couple of kilometres to the west. Read more... |
