Golf clubs

Green Haworth Golf Club Formally established in 1914 Green Haworth Golf Club owes its origins to the Rileys, a local influential business family with an estate of land and property. Looking for social sporting recreation the Riley family began playing golf on the grazing moorland of Green Haworth. As the Green Haworth Golf Club was then formed, a mere thirty individuals made up this exclusive membership. The early course comprised of a simple six holes with the members changing rooms located in a cottage on Schoolhouse Lane, some 400 yards from the first tee. Over the following forty years the course grew to nine holes, however three of these were later reclaimed by a local farmer from whom the club leased the land. The first, eighth and ninth holes were guarded by cattle-wire whilst they were in use, and it was these that were returned to active farmland. The club was registered as a limited company in March 1948. Green Haworth Golf Club, Lancashire is a 9 hole
