Hickleton Golf Club is located in open countryside in the heart of South Yorkshire between the towns of Doncaster and Barnsley.

The original 9-hole course was founded in 1909 with the current 18-hole layout opening in 1976, which was designed by the Ryder Cup players Neil Coles, Brian Huggett and Mr. Dyer. Since 1976 the course has developed into one of the finest and challenging courses in the South Yorkshire region. The course is an undulating parkland course with tree-lined fairways and fantastic panoramic views over South Yorkshire and the eastern Pennines. In the words of many visitors to Hickleton, "A superb course with magnificent scenery."
