Our History
Hanging Heaton Golf Club was founded in 1922 when a group of seven golf enthusiasts started work on a strip of land above Commonside, Hanging Heaton. They started levelling greens and tees which had to be fenced off to stop farm animals straying onto them. Today that strip of land, which sits above Batley, has returned to its former state, now used by walkers, bike riders, and horse riders alike. Some of the old greens and tees are actually still visible. This area was known locally as Pump Fields or Tewit Land, hence the bird which is now part of our Club logo. The original Clubhouse was on Kirkgate and golfers in those days had to walk across the road to enjoy their golf which cost them an annual subscription of 1 for men and 10/- (50p) for ladies.
Our Current Home
In 1928 the Club moved to the present site off White Cross Road and commenced the development of the course. Year upon year improvements were made to the lay out as more land was acquired. War broke out in 1939 which halted progress for the duration. In those days the Clubhouse was of a wooden construction and was built adjacent to some cattle sheds. This wooden hut was used until 1964 when the existing building was constructed. The years since have seen continuous development with frequent refurbishments. The Club began an extensive improvement plan in 2019 in preparation for their centenary in 2022. In 2020 the club are to rework the entrance hallway and install new soft furnishings to keep the Clubhouse suitable for lots of different events.

While the overall feedback is positive, there are a few areas for improvement. The parking lot is small and unorganised, and the gin prices are considered to be extortionate.
