Hallamshir­e

-

GF Round: £59-£65wd, £75we

The wonderfull­y varied and scenic design at Hallamshir­e owes much to two of golf’s greatest architects, Harry Colt and Herbert Fowler. The club dates back to 1897, and its engaging course on the western outskirts of Sheffield was completely revised some 40 years later. Many consider the short 6th to be the signature hole, played over a chasm with bunkers left and out-of-bounds right. The other candidate is the tiny par-3 17th, Quarry, played alongside the rocks and over a nest of bunkers.

GM verdict A very distinctiv­e and memorable Harry Colt design.
