Hallowes Golf Club is situated in Dronfield, Derbyshire, on the eastern
edge of the Pennines between Sheffield (centre 7 miles to the north) and
Chesterfield (centre 7 miles to the south). Both the city of Sheffield
and the town of Chesterfield have had a major influence on the industrial
history of England. Both have important visitor attractions. Dronfield town lies in a north to south valley straddling
the river Drone, the A61 trunk road which links Sheffield, Chesterfield
and the M1 at Junction 29, and also the main rail line from St Pancras,
London to Sheffield and Leeds. The golf course is on the west side of the valley, with
magnificent, uninterrupted views of the Derbyshire Peak District. Over the years the course has been nurtured and redefined
into one of the finest courses in the area. Thanks to a small group of
far-sighted, enthusiastic golfers, who invested in their hobby over 100
years ago, we now have the current Hallowes Golf Club. We are sure
they would be as proud of it as we, the present members, are. The course which is ëhill top' gently undulates over
parkland with traces of moorland, and is not overly long at 6,302 yards.
It is being improved continually to a standard that the original members
could not have imagined. In the recent past, new greens have been added,
major drainage has been undertaken on fairways, bunkers have been
added, re-made and in some cases moved to improve the standard of the
whole. Some 4,000 plus native trees have been planted. The historic club house was built in 1657 as a farmhouse
and has been brought up to date with modern comfortable amenities. (see
facilities and history) The Club has also hosted a number of important regional
and county competitions. We invite you to visit Hallowes Golf Club in the full
confidence that you will enjoy the course, the surroundings, the facilities
and the friendly, helpful service. (see course information for more detail.) |
