Golf clubs

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 of to stop farm animals straying onto them, today that strip of land which sits above Batley is still there but has now returned to its former state, now used by walker̍s bike and horse riders alike some of the old greens and tees are still visible, this area was known locally as Pump Fields or Tewit land hence the bird which is now part of the club logo the original club house was on Kirkgate and golfers in those days had to walk across the road to enjoy their golf.located in Hanging Heaton Golf Club White Cross Road Hanging Heaton, Dewsbury theyst Yorkshire WF12 7DT
