Huddersfield (Fixby) Golf Club - Huddersfield

Huddersfield Golf Club was formed following a meeting held in Huddersfield's George Hotel on December 21st 1891. The course was laid out on the magnificent parkland turf of Fixby Park with the assistance of the owners, the Clarke Thornhill family. The first captain was Harry Huth, and the first president, The Earl of Dartmouth. From the long doglegged 475 yard par 4 opening hole the course is a true test of golf. Mastery of every club in the bag is necessary to return a good score. The first nine are relatively flat but the second half is undulating, and at its highest on the 18th fairway. The clubhouse boasts an excellent choice of three bars, including the recently completed Centenary Hall, which can accommodate up to 150 people in style.
