The Halifax Golf Club

The Halifax Golf Club The Halifax Golf Club Every tee, fairway and green is as one with the undulating landscape of this exceptional moorland location.

Created in the early 20th century by James Braid, five times Open champion and foremost Architect of his day, the 18 hole course at Ogden is as natural as the finest seaside links you could name and is one of the best in West Yorkshire. Wildlife is in abundance – Deer, Foxes, Badgers and many species of birds choose here as their home. The layout has remained true to its original design with the o

nly major alterations being made by Dr Alistair McKenzie in 1912. Dr McKenzie went on to design some of the greatest courses in the world including the Augusta National, home of the US Masters in partnership with the legendary Bobby Jones. Ogden’s design credentials are therefore second to none. Over recent years, the links have been extensively improved. Most of the tees have been extended and re-laid, abandoned bunkers from the early days have been re-introduced and paths and bridges developed to meet the standards expected by today’s golfer. Today, the greens are widely regarded as being amongst the best in Yorkshire. Ogden provides a great challenge for even the best shot maker. Eleven of the holes feature water hazards, often nestling in the bottom of steep gullies which can gather your ball as naturally and easily as any seaside bunker. Each hole at Ogden is quite different from the last making it a course which will stand out in your memory long after you have enjoyed its unique delights. The first 12 holes represent a steady climb up the valley with many of the fairways crisscrossing two streams

Holes 13 through 16 then sit on a plateau which afford spectacular views across theLooking back up the 15th earlier holes and down the beautiful Hebble Valley. There are no water hazards up here and the 2 par fives at 13 and 15 (see right) offer real opportunities to improve your score. After the 16th there is nowhere to go but down and the par 3 17th, aptly named ‘Bagott’s Leap’, is Ogden’s famous signature hole.Looking down at the 17th green

Club selection is of paramount importance here and, depending on the wind conditions, you can take anything from a 3-wood to a pitching wedge! The final hole shares a fairway with the first so there is plenty of room for your drive. With the clubhouse in view all the way there is no more welcoming sight as you finish your round. Ogden is a truly unique experience in the world of golf and whether you conquer it or not, there is no doubt that you will remember it forever.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....🎄🎅🎁
Fun and frolics (and the odd teary-eyed parent) with Mr Tinsel, and Santa and his Elves at the Kids Party on Sunday, followed by a more sedate, sherry-fuelled, and as you can see successful Wreath Making Class on Tuesday.
Onwards to the Christmas Fun Day this Sunday with a brass band, Annie Miller's Christmas Extravaganza, and of course, the Ogden Panto 2023 - Alice in GolfyLand.
Gotta love The Halifax Golf Club - your friendly club!!

The Greens Team aided by Tiger Woof (sorry, coudn't resist 🫣) have been out inspecting, and it's safe to say the course is still unplayable and therefore closed 😭😭😭 Don't worry though, the Kids Party is still on this afternoon - Santa doesn't mind the snow but normal humans, please take care in the car park as there may still be a slippy patch or two.
Thanks to Ted Holmes for the pic....

It’s ‘chuffing freezing’ as one of our long time members would shout on days like today… Still stunning though, looking down the 13th on a cold winters day.

‘Oh what a beautiful morning’. The view from the 12th tee as the sun came up was just stunning!

Thanks to Illingworth St Mary's Cricket Club for asking us to once again decorate their annual dinner and prize presentation evening at The Halifax Golf Club last night 🎈

I think it’s a given that balloons are definitely the quickest, and often cheapest way to transform a room 😍

We are delighted to announce that we have been recognised as a signatory to the R&A Women in Golf Charter!!

The purpose of the WiG Charter is:

🏌️‍♀️To encourage more women and girls to play the game
⛳️To inspire more families to enjoy golf as a group leisure activity
🏌️‍♀️To open up more opportunities for women to work within the golf industry
⛳️Develop an inclusive environment for women and girls within golf

We are aware that our women's section has suffered in the last couple of years, and the commitment we are now making is the start of a new chapter for women's golf at the Club. If you or your wife/partner/mother/daughter has an interest in playing golf, please keep your eyes peeled over Winter for details of the initiatives that we hope will get them involved and ultimately become Club members.

Another Remembrance Day and another day to remember (for those that didn't drink too much) at Royal Ogden!! Thanks to all who participated over the weekend, thanks to the organising Committee (David Garvey, Gez Martin, Steve Eyles, Gaz Jones, and Craig Smith), and thanks to the hardworking bar and catering staff. A lot of money (still being counted) was raised for the Royal British Legion and BLESMA (the chosen charity of our Forces veterans - Gary Meekins, Simon Coultish, and Troy Conner). Winner of Saturday's individual comp was Paul Firth, the winning team on Sunday was Liam Dean, Matty Adams, Darren Ogden, and Aaron McLoughlin.

The 18th Hole Flyover - Halifax Golf Club
The 18th Hole Flyover - Halifax Golf Club

419yds off the yellow tees can feel a lot shorter if you manage to 'cut the corner'. Make sure your approach is high of the green as everything runs left to right. Nick Krzywicki Pro's Tip: Left side off the tee reduces hole length considerably. flyover courtesy of: ollie allison

The 1st Hole Flyover - Halifax Golf Club
The 1st Hole Flyover - Halifax Golf Club

Difficult whether played as a Par5 from the Blues and Yellows or Par4 from the Whites, the 1st Hole sets the tone for the front half of the 'out' portion of the card. Make sure you're long enough off the tee to give yourself a shot into the green! Nick Krzywicki Pro's Tip: right off the tee leaves a shorter shot but tougher angle to the pin. flyover courtesy of: ollie allison

The 2nd Hole Flyover - Halifax Golf Club
The 2nd Hole Flyover - Halifax Golf Club

A relatively short Par3 to an tight elevated Green. Nothing for being short, too long and your also in trouble. So, the question is: What club are you hitting? flyover courtesy of: ollie allison

Amazing coverage for The Halifax Golf Club having YouTuber @averagegolfer99 come to play and film content.

Flying over the iconic 17th. 178 yards into the wind and around 70ft of elevation change this short par 3 is a challenge no matter what your handicap. Heather and a beck short, bunker left and rough right.
