Haydock Park Golf Club

Founded in 1877, one of the oldest clubs in England, the course originally lay at Dean Dam before moving to Golborne Park in the early 1920s, where Harry Simpson laid out the new course before James Braid modified it a decade later. This flat, tree-lined parkland/woodland layout demands precision from tight fairways to small, well-guarded greens, with the 6th and 13th picked out as highlights, and the clubhouse's James Braid Room overlooks the 18th green.
