Course Manager Designate

Fulford Heath Golf Club is in an exciting period of development, with significant investment already made on our James Braid-designed parkland course established in 1933 with ambitious plans underway. We are aiming to complete a comprehensive course drainage program, including greens and fairways, to further enhance playing conditions.
