Founded in 1900, the current course was designed 100 years ago by world famous golf course architect Dr Alister MacKenzie and opened on 29th July 1922. Cleckheaton Golf Club is an 18 hole 6155 yard par 70 parkland course for men and par 73 for women. It's a true challenge for golfers of all abilities.

Just 40 minutes drive from Manchester, York and Sheffield, Cleckheaton is the UK’s most accessible golf course, located right next to Junction 26 of the M62, south of Bradford. We regularly welcome visitors from other Yorkshire golf courses and beyond.

Cleckheaton Golf Club is a private members’ club with an active membership, friendly clubhouse atmosphere and a strong junior section.

Visitors are always made welcome. Choose from a varied clubhouse menu before and after your round. Our catering staff are famous for their mouth-watering dishes which are the envy of other clubs in the area.

FACILITIES AT CLECKHEATON GOLF CLUB

Image

After arriving in Cleckheaton’s ample car park make your way to the Pro Shop to confirm your arrival and tee time. If you are early enough there are plenty of activities for you to enjoy.

The clubhouse serves restaurant quality food and a choice of cask ales. The modern changing rooms are inviting and therefore don’t have a private members area.

Once ready, you can warm up in the nets and most importantly on the practice green in front of the clubhouse. The practice green is a great match of the greens on the course so is therefore a must before you venture out.

Once you have played your perfect round, celebrate by returning to the Clubhouse. You can enjoy a meal, drinks, a game of snooker or most importantly just rest in our comfortable MacKenzie Lounge.

Visit Cleckheaton Golf Club for your next Society Golf Trip or Open Competition. Alternatively, just enjoy a game with your friends, we’re sure you’ll have a great time.

Hole 1

A tough starting hole, trees left and bunkers right mean a straight tee shot is a must. OOB very close over the back of the green, so don’t go too big.

Hole 2

Often under-clubbed, this hole plays further than the measurement suggests.

Room Image

Hole 3

OOB right and trees left, hitting the fairway is essential if you are going to reach the small green in two shots.

Room Image

Hole 4

Driveable for the longer hitter, but a 6 or 7 is as likely as a birdie if you try. Think before you go for glory.

Hole 5

No room for error if you want to make Par. The safe shot is towards the front left regardless of the pin position.

Room Image

Hole 6

At 486 yards from the Blue Tee, this Par 4 sets a big challenge to make Par. Be happy with a 5 and move on.

Room Image

Hole 7

Into the prevailing wind this hole is usually out of reach in two shots. Lay up and get up and down if you can. Beware the green which slopes from Back to Front.

Room Image

Hole 8

Trees left and right are to be avoided for your first and second shots to reach the green in regulation. Long hitters can get home in two.

Room Image

Hole 9

Tempted to ‘go for it’ you may be, but you’re safer playing to the bottom right part of the fairway which will give you site of the flag for a safe second shot and an easy Par.

Room Image

Hole 10

A great dog-leg Par 4 with the green hidden away for short tee shots. Get the distance to the corner correct and you will have a nice pitch to the green. OOB behind the green.

Room Image

Hole 11

Even the longest hitters will find it tough to reach in two shots. The pond 60 yards short of the green will gladly swallow any miss hits.

Room Image

Hole 12

This tightly bunkered hole sets a tricky challenge. A well struck mid to short iron is required to hold this green.

gallery...
Room Image

Hole 13

The sloping fairway requires a left to right tee shot flight to hold against the slope. The second shot plays longer than the yardage into the prevailing wind.

gallery...
Room Image

Hole 14

A good tee shot to the bottom of the hill will leave you an uphill mid iron to the green, but the tree at the bottom may block out a cautious lay-up off the tee.

Room Image

Hole 15

One of the longest Par 3 holes you may ever play. Don’t slice as the ball will be gathered by the slope and run down the hill. Miss the green and you’ll do well to get Par.

gallery...
Room Image

Hole 16

From the top tee, longer hitters can cut the corner over the valley to a hidden green on the left. The safe option is a lay-up for an easy pitch to the Green. A great risk-reward hole.

Room Image

Hole 17

A tough middle-distance Par 3. A good shot is required to hit the green, but that’s when the fun begins on the course’s most undulating green.

Room Image

Hole 18

Like the first hole, the 18th has trees left and bunkers right. Hitting the fairway is a must for a chance to hit the long narrow green between the mounds.
