Golf courses in Yorkshire

Yorkshire is large, varied and has far more to offer than most visitors suspect. The county stretches from the Pennines in the west to the North Sea coast in the east and in that expansive landscape has a golf offering that for quality and variety is barely inferior to the better-known golfing counties in the south. Leading Courses favourites include Ganton Golf Club and The Alwoodley Golf Club. Ganton has been regarded by experts for decades as the finest course in northern England: an inland links near Scarborough with a character that surprises even the most discerning golfer. The Alwoodley near Leeds is a James Braid classic on heathland that receives too little international recognition. Moortown Golf Club, also near Leeds, has the historical distinction of hosting the first Ryder Cup on European soil in 1929. Yorkshire is well served by Leeds Bradford Airport or by high-speed train from London in under two hours. A direct ferry service runs from the Netherlands to Hull. The climate is changeable but the courses are playable year-round. Greenfees are remarkably reasonable for the quality on offer. A cold pint in a Yorkshire pub rounds off every round in England's largest county perfectly. Browse all Yorkshire golf courses on Leading Courses and plan your next golf trip.
