There can be few places in the country more suited to a good round of golf than Yorkshire. As the largest historic county area in England, Yorkshire is also blessed with an expansive rural landscape.
Much of the green spaces of Yorkshire are given over to the North York Moors and the Dales but the natural splendour of the environment persists from North, through West Yorkshire and the East Riding, down to South Yorks. There are some excellent Yorkshire golf course venues to be found throughout this historic county. It is served by rail on the East coast main line and by road via the A1/M1.
Although predominantly rural in nature, Yorkshire also has some significant large towns and cities such as York, Leeds, and Sheffield and golf is as popular in these more urban areas as anywhere. Harrogate, for example has not only a great long, flat course but also a 100 year old colonial style club house.
Additionally, there are dozens of well established courses set in parkland around Bradford, but if links golf is the style for you then the popular coastal resorts of Scarborough, Filey, and Bridlington offer excellent links play and the championship course at Ganton received much acclaim for its role in the 2003 Walker Cup.
Yorkshire is a prime visitor and holiday destination. The wealth of historic sites and visitor attractions combine with the coastal resorts and wide ranging country sports to provide any visitor with the activities that keep them coming back. It is particularly popular for family holidays and the pay and play each Yorkshire golf course will be happy to accommodate those looking for some golfing leisure time.
Corporate golfing events are becoming more popular and Yorkshire has all the golfing, leisure and accommodation services to make a group or corporate event go smoothly. Golf tuition is readily available as are practice areas and driving ranges. To find out your options for incorporating golf into your stay in Yorkshire, select a Yorkshire golf course listed here.
