What the club says: Created in the early 20th century by James Braid, five times Open champion andView up the valley foremost Architect of his day, the 18 hole course at Ogden is as natural as the finest seaside links you could name. Every tee, fairway and green is as one with the undulating landscape of this exceptional moorland location. 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 only 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.

Reviewed Apr 25 2019 by Reading - rated 5 out of 5 Stunning natural beauty
Played here for 3rd time and still love it. The rugged natural surroundings are simply amazing and views incredibly. Need to think carefully about clubbing as many holes play shorter than true distances. Will be back!Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Apr 13 2019 by Alan G - rated 4 out of 5 very hard course for beginners as there are a few holes that need to be played not by yardage but by the course it self. very hilly so need to be fit

Reviewed May 15 2018 by Liam Huddersfield - rated 3 out of 5 Good test in good weather, little shabby round edges
Halifax Golf Club is tucked away in a quiet corner of the moors and you really get that quiet impression when you turn up there. The pro shop is freshly stocked with new apparel and gear but a little old fashioned in lay out, same goes for the clubhouse.Out on the course you are given an opening par 5 dogleg right to behind which is a nice steady opening hole and then a good par 3 on the second.
After the second the course goes downhill considerably for the next couple of holes with an odd design, shared fairways and almost impossible approaches to the fourth green. After those two shambles of holes however the course does then begin to open out into a true moorland test. A couple of the holes in the back 9 require a long accurate drive if you want to make birdie.
Overall, I enjoyed my 82 round HGC, I was impressed by the difference in hole style and layout but disappointed with a lack of green keeping on teeboxes and greens. To mention, the greens were rock solid and fast but not in very good condition.
If this course was tidied up around the tees and greens and fairways given a more dramatic cut to juxtapose against the Heather in the rough it could Be one of Yorkshire’s finest.

Played this course during quite adverse weather conditions. Driving rain and windy. All the holes are different and are challenging. The views from the top are stunning.

Reviewed Jul 11 2017 by - rated 5 out of 5 Played in a mid summer open this year and was blown away by the place. Everyone talks about the 17th but this does not do justice to the rest of the course. Very strategic off the tee with super wide fairways that challenge you to leave good angles into the green. How they got it round here in 1912 I\'ll never know!!!\Highlights for me where...\2nd shot into the first hole, strange ravine right and a green with 4 foot of slope leading down from left side, tough to know where to miss.\The elevated 4th green. Wow! Small target and a shot filled with drama.\The short, driveable 11th. Totally blind with 2 marker posts. Reminded me of tenby, another braid course.\Wonderful old clubhouse with some relics from the clubs golden past. An absolute treat for anyone who appreciates a good test.

Reviewed Jun 19 2016 by Chris B - rated 4 out of 5 Played Halifax Ogden in a 4bbb Open medal comp. Friendly welcome by all at the club, top breakfast. Course was quite wet in places, some greens quite patchy but rolled reasonably well. Very up hill down dale sort of course, need to be reasonably fit to play here on a regular basis. Can imagine very tough to score in windy conditions as quite exposed. Superb par 3 16th from very elevated tee. Will return for sure.

If you want something abit of a challenge and different then this course is the one! I thought it was great my playing partner wasn't a great lover of it. However we both agreed it is a must play just for the 17th alone! What a hole!!!!

Reviewed Jun 18 2015 by Craig C / Halifax - rated 4 out of 5 I have played this course since I was 10 (I'm now 26)and it never fails to provide a true test of golf imagination and skill, calm days are rarer than an albatross but that provides another element to the testing course which is challenging and fun, the 17th is the signature hole and depending on the wind I have hit as little as a sand wedge and as much as a 3 wood off the tee. the clubhouse is warm welcoming and comfortable with excellent food! if you have never played here I strongly recommend you do.
