In Harrogate and the immediate area there are no fewer than five first-class golf clubs, all offering the opportunity to experience their natural beauty and test your golf skills simultaneously. Rudding Park A pay-and-play course, Harrogate's newest club boasts 6526 yards of challenging golf amid some hard-to-beat countryside. With a par of Par 72, holes 3 and 4 in particular pose difficulty in the wind especially for those new to the game. £20.00 per round on weekends, £18.50 during the week. Winter rounds are £12.50 For tee times or group bookings tel. 01423 872100 *****  Oakdale Golf Club Established in 1914 Oakdale is situated in one of Harrogate's more exclusive areas. A feature of the course is the meandering stream which comes into play on a number of the holes and in particular on the 18th. The course measures 6456 yards and is a par 71 which plays well beyond this distance if the wind gets up. Casual visitors welcome on weekdays at £25.00 per round or £**.00 for a day ticket. For tee times or group bookings tel. 01423 502806 ***** Pannal Golf Club On the outskirts of Harrogate, on the Leeds Road, Pannal presents delightful views of the southern areas of the town. 6954 yards long, par 73. Weekdays £45.00, weekends £53.00. Booking advisable. For tee times or group bookings tel. 01423 *****   Harrogate Golf Club The oldest club in Harrogate was opened for play in 1898 and was designed by Sandy Herd who was the professional at Huddersfied Golf Club but was born and brought up in St. Andrews. He won the British Open in 1902 at the age of 34 and played in it for the last time at the age of 71. This course lies on the eastern side of Harrogate on the Knaresborough Road. For tee times or group bookings tel. 01423 863158 *****  Knaresborough Golf Club Established in 1919, Knaresborough Golf Club is situated a mile out of Knaresborough on the Boroughbridge road. It takes approximately 15 minutes to drive there from Harrogate. Renowned for its friendliness, the club has a thriving social section which meets regularly in its new clubhouse. With a par of 70, all 6410 yards promise pure pleasure. There are plenty of places to get into trouble along the way. Not much water on the course, but bunkers appear to attract every wayward shot. The 11th and 15th holes dogleg sharply to the left, with the 15th having the added challenge of being on a steep incline down to the bend and then rising from there to an elevated green. £25.00 per round. For tee times or group bookings tel. 01423 863219 ***** Moortown Golf Club Just one of the gems on the north side of Leeds and easily accessible from Harrogate.The course was designed by Dr. Alistair McKenzie in 1909 and 20 years later was chosen as the first venue in this country to host the Ryder Cup, won on that occasion by the British golfers. Henry Cotton made his debut that year and the legendary Walter Hagen was beaten 10 and 8 by George Duncan. Moortown is still a choice by the R&A for regional qualifying rounds of the Open Championship. For tee times or group bookings tel. 0113 268 3636 ***** Bradford Golf Club Hawksworth Laid out in 1899, the course runs in two loops with the 10th and 18th holes finishing outside the clubhouse. The spacious greens, with their subtle borrows, and some tough uncompromising par 4's make this top class course a fair test of golf which must be treated with respect. Always in immaculate condition, the course has been used for many Yorkshire Championship events over the years and is the venue for the prestigious Hawksworth Trophy, a 36 hole scratch competition which attracts a strong field, and is held in April.
