THE Halford Hewitt Golf Course, named after a former pupil, is a nine hole par 34 course, comprising seven par 4s and two par 3s. It was designed by Donald Steel and opened in 1987. Total length is 2,644 yards. All greens are built to USGA specification and, along with the tees, they receive regular aeration. Graden sand injection is carried out on the greens in late spring, and tees are scarified
once or twice a year depending on requirements.
The par 3 4th, known as
Quarry, requires an accurate shot over a hollow, which, as the name suggests, is evidence of the removal of material for the building of the school chapel. As well as a splendid facility for the pupils, the course has 350 members who are able to play golf when the course is not being used by the school.
