2-FORE! Best of Britain: North Yorkshire

Published:

West Yorkshire tends to grab most of the White Rose county’s golfing limelight but North Yorkshire is also a great golfing hotspot, especially as far as 2-FORE!-1 Golf is concerned. It features a number of outstanding inland and seaside layouts, including some absolute clifftop belters.

* Hunley Hall (pictured right) – Underrated Hunley boasts a striking north east coastline location and from a golfing perspective has it all, unusually including 29 holes which gives four different 18-hole permutations. Former European Seniors Tour stalwart John Morgan was responsible for the original layout in 1993 with the other 11 holes being created three years later.

There may be 29 holes but there’s absolutely no doubt about the pick of them: it’s got to be ‘Snaith’s,’ the breathtaking short par-4 downhiller on the Morgan’s with its elevated providing amazing coastal views.

*Whitby GC – A game of two halves: several holes are perched high on the cliffs and offer dramatic views and challenges while you have to cross a main road to play a parkland stretch.

*Rudding Park  (pictured) – The testing, engaging six-hole Repton Course provides the perfect warm-up for a round on the splendidly challenging Hawtree layout. There’s also a classy hotel on site too… and all this is just a short drive away from the wonderful spa town of Harrogate.

*Scarborough North Cliff & South Cliff – The popular seaside town’s two courses are intriguing clifftop and parkland combinations – and well worth checking out.

*Knaresborough – A gem of an undulating par-72 parkland course just outside the market town of Knaresborough. Both the course and clubhouse and off-course facilities have been substantially upgraded in recent times.

*Kirkbymoorside – Challenging course set in a beautiful rural surrounding on the edge of the North York Moors National Park. You’ll be both impressed by the course and the sensational views, specially over the moors from the 13th tee.
