Nestled beneath the dramatic Pennine hills, The Halifax Golf Club at Ogden offers a truly memorable moorland golfing experience. Established in 1895 and later shaped by renowned architects James Braid and Dr Alister MacKenzie, the course blends rich history with natural beauty. The layout is a demanding yet rewarding par 70, stretching just over 6,300 yards but playing much longer due to elevation changes and rugged terrain. The MacKenzie-designed par-3 2nd hole, with its raised green, exemplifies the precision required throughout the round. The front nine features long dog-legs, streams and uphill approaches that test accuracy and stamina, while the back nine includes split fairways, blind tee shots and scoring chances on two well-designed par 5s. Standout holes include the dramatic downhill 17th, where a 60-foot drop from tee to green demands smart club selection. With panoramic views, pristine turf, and consistently engaging design, Halifax is a course that rewards thoughtful play and resilience. Its characterful routing and natural features make it a hidden gem in Yorkshire’s golfing landscape—ideal for golfers who relish a challenge in a breathtaking setting. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a returning member, Halifax Golf Club delivers a truly authentic and uplifting golfing experience.
