Crosland Heath Golf Course

Felks Stile Road

Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom

Crosland Heath Golf Club is a heathland course designed by Alister MacKenzie, remaining relatively unchanged from its original design over 100 years ago. Located in Huddersfield, the course features free-draining fairways characteristic of heathland terrain. The layout is distinctive for its strategic design, with par 5 and par 3 holes running in opposing directions, as do the opening four holes, requiring golfers to play toward all points of the compass. Notable features include stunning "tower" par 3 holes built around old quarries, which provide both visual interest and challenging elevated tee shots. This design ensures varied wind exposure and playing conditions throughout the round. The course maintains its historical integrity while offering a traditional links-style experience despite its inland location, making it a notable example of MacKenzie's architectural principles applied to heathland terrain.
