Hallamshire Golf Club

Hallamshire is noted as one of just 400 heather-clad heathland golf courses in the UK by the Sports Turf Research Institute, which describes the course as “prestigious, challenging and attractive.” It is characterised by large pockets of heather, gorse and bilberries which are being encouraged by an ongoing woodland and grassland management programme. Despite its lofty location, the fast-draining soil and buffeting breeze drains the turf exceptionally well. As a result Hallamshire is often open in the winter when others are closed due to water logging. Situated on the south westerly edge of the city of Sheffield, overlooking the Derbyshire Peak District National Park, its elevation of almost 900 feet above sea level provides glorious views over the Pennine hills to the west.
