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.
Despite the abundance of trees and gorse bushes, the out-and-back layout of Hallamshire retains a pleasantly open feel. From the showpiece par-3 6th hole (Saucer), the undulating nature of the course becomes more apparent, and the views onto surrounding hills even grander. Several holes gather down towards Black Brook, which will need to be crossed six times during the round.
Pick of the holes: the elevated-tee to elevated-green par-4 13th (Barncliffe) is one of the best of a fine array of holes laid out by Harry Colt at Hallamshire. The short par-3 17th (Quarry) is also a captivating hole ... the name gives away what you might expect to find here.
Visitors welcome on weekdays; more restricted at weekends.
Must book in advance. Maximum handicap: men 28, women 36.

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, U.S. Open champion, multiple European Tour and PGA Tour winner, and Ryder Cup player. Matt's younger brother Alex, also a tour professional, also honed his skills here at Hallamshire.
The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
