Welcome from the Captain
It is an honour and privilege to be your Captain for 2008/2009 and I look forward to meeting and socialising with as many of you as I can over the next 12 months.
We have a magnificent course looked after by a first class team of greenkeepers, we have a super catering and bar staff team, and in our new professional, Richard Lambert, we have excellent teaching and coaching facilities.
On top of this we have a robust, loyal and friendly membership who over the years have helped shape and guide the club to become one of
the foremost clubs in the region.
If you are a visitor to the club I extend a warm welcome - you will enjoy quality golf and quality service which I hope will see you return for another round.
I wish all our teams a successful year and individually I hope you all improve your game and are able to lower your handicap.
Enjoy your Golf.

founded in 1896, Crosland Heath Golf Club moved to its current site 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.
