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.
Visitors welcome on weekdays; more restricted at weekends.
Must book in advance. Maximum handicap: men 28, women 36.
Credit cards accepted. Contact club for full details, discounts, packages, etc. [Last updated: 2018].

Hallamshire has been home to several famous names in the golfing world. It was here that John Jacobs and Pete Cowen both started their careers as assistant professionals. Famous Hallamshire ladies include Alison Nicholas (1997 US Women's Open Champion) and Mary Everard (four-time Curtis Cup player); both are still members. So too is the BBC presenter Dan Walker, as well as Matt Fitzpatrick, multiple European Tour winner and 2016 Ryder Cup player.
