North Halton

The Club at North Halton started out as Cedar Crest in 1914, when two farms were first purchased then George Cumming was called in to lay out an initial 9-hole course. This modest golf facility operated for forty years, until a new club was formed and Bob Moote’s design firm expanded the layout to eighteen. Doug Carrick has since prepared a new millennium master plan for the club.

Today, the layout extends to 6,545 yards from the back markers, playing to a par of 72, with holes laid out as two returning nines. Water comes into play on several occasions: most notably in the form of a pond fronting the 9th green and creeks crossing the fairway on the par four 11th, the par four 14th and par three 17th .

Feature holes include the right doglegging par four 5th (rated stroke index 1); the par five 8th (with the green positioned behind a protecting creek); the 559-yard 16th (the longest of the three par fives on the back nine); and the tough par five finisher, where the prevailing wind is often against on this uphill home hole.
