Measuring just under 6,000 yards and with a par of 70 (standard scratch 68) Cleckheaton GC enjoys a pleasant parkland setting and provides golfers of all abilities with an enjoyable challenge.
Cleckheaton, founded in 1900 and designed by Alister Mackenzie, the
Yorkshireman responsible for many of the world’s greatest courses including
Augusta National and Royal Melbourne, bears many of the great man’s hallmarks.
The holes offer a good blend of “risk and reward” while several greens have the
undulations and borrows for which his designs became famous.
Built before the days of large scale earthmoving, Cleckheaton GC also benefits from Mackenzie’s legendary ability to design a course which complements the natural terrain.
