Founded in 1897, the Hallamshire Golf Club occupies a high shelf of land. Prior to the opening of the golf course the area consisted of fields with straight, regular edges. The fields were probably enclosed as part of the Upper Hallam enclosure award of 1791. The award was enacted in 1805. The Fairbanks plan of 1795 shows an area with small irregular fields. The fields were probably created through assarting woodlands in the Rivelin Valley. The golf course is bordered to the south by the Long Causeway which is an ancient route way out of Sheffield across the moors. Speculation suggests that it may even be a Roman route but there is no hard evidence to back this up. Legibility is invisible.
