Introducing the Heswall Golf Club - App
Founded in 1902, Heswall Golf Club was originally designed as a 5115 yard, 18 hole course. It increased its length to 5889 yards in 1957, to 6556 yards by 2006, and a century later, following several extensions and alterations, it increased further to the impressive 6882 yards that we see today.
The Club has benefited from the expertise of several well-known architects over the years, notably Jack Morris, nephew of Tom Morris of St.Andrew’s. Jack designed the original layout of the Club with Harry Vardon, Frank Pennick, and Donald Steel contributing to remodelling designs over the years.
In 1948 the Club purchased the land on which the course lay, together with two agricultural fields within the boundaries of the course. Once these were no longer required for farming they were incorporated into the course causing the following hole changes: the present 10th (was 14th) in 1958, the present 13th (was 12th) and 14th (was 13th) in 1977.
In 2005, the members of the Club voted to incorporate the further land into the course. Once again Donald Steel & Partners were the architects. Work began in 2006, and the course as we see it today opened in July 2007.
The app features the Whole in One Golf GPS Range Finder and Digital Guide to playing the clubs 18 hole golf courses. The App works as a virtual aid, giving you a 3D Flyover of each hole, a pin positioning system. The scorecard tool allows you to complete a round with up to 4 players and submits to the club.
