Welcome from the Captain Paul Booth

Paul Booth Captain 2012/2013 Welcome from the Captain

It's an honour and a privilege to be Captain in this forthcoming year. Firstly I would like to thank members, family and friends, who supported a fantastic night at the Captain's inaugural.

Crosland Heath Golf Club in my opinion, is one of, if not the best course in the Huddersfield, Halifax golf union and has been voted amongst the Top 50 winter courses across the UK in 2011-12. Our great team of green keepers are working really hard to improve our course even more during 2012-13. During the last 6 months the club has had a revamp with a new club Secretary, Lindsay Salvini, who joined the club in October 2011 and Richard Lambert our club Professional taking on a new role as Club Manager. The club has also reinstated the traditional role of club Steward and Stewardess, with Chris and Jean Metcalfe taking on this role in November 2011. Everything is now set in place and the club is in a really strong position to move forwards and prepare for a successful centenary year in 2014.

I would like to extend a warm welcome to our visitors and hopefully they will enjoy a round of golf and sample some of the good food available in the clubhouse.

Over the next 12 months I hope to play and socialise with as many members as I can. Finally I wish all the members a great year ahead, both on and off the golf course. Most of all "Enjoy your Golf!"

Paul Booth
Captain 2012 - 2013


A little bit of history

When the members of the present Cowlersley Golf Club get their new course at Crosland Heath there is one thing of which they will not be able to complain. They cannot say there is any lack of variety. I have not seen many courses in the rough, and without the eye of imagination it is not easy to picture what the result the work of the course contractors may be, but it requires very little of the imaginative faculty to see that away on top of the hills there above the Sands House Inn the players who follow the little white ball will have a course full of interest from the first hole to the last.
Reproduced with kind permission from the Huddersfield Daily Examiner, 7th August 1913

Crosland Heath Golf Club was formed in 1914. The new land consisted of disused quarries and redundant farm land and needed the unique imagination of Doctor Alister MacKenzie to realise the possibilities of this wide stretch of land. MacKenzie famously went on to design courses across the world, including Royal Melbourne, Cypress Point and, most prestigiously, the home of the Masters, Augusta National.

Being one of the highest courses in the country, Crosland Heath Golf Club enjoys extensive panoramic views across the town of Huddersfield stretching out well in to the old East Riding. To the North, South and West the views are equally spectacular, adding to the treat that is playing this testing heathland course.

The quality of the greens is renowned, along with the challenge that is the finest set of par three holes on one course. Despite its lofty Pennine position it is a relatively flat, non-arduous walking course. This interesting layout changes with the climatic conditions making club selection and course management major considerations.

The overall presentation of the course will delight any visitor along with the warm welcome they will receive from members and staff. The large numbers of visitors returning each year bears testament to the enjoyment that is experienced at this magnificent course.

Welcome to Crosland Heath Golf Club - we hope you enjoy your time with us.
