About Skipton Golf Club
Description
Nestled among the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, once you have played this magnificent course, like many other golfers, you will want to return year after year.
The Club moved to its current site in 1896 and has matured over the years into one of the most picturesque golf courses in the North of England.
Recent years have seen some of the biggest changes to the course in its history with a revised layout launched in August 2018, including three newly designed and professionally constructed holes. Additionally, many other changes have only served to enhance the beauty and the challenge of this Yorkshire Dales course.

Great course in a beautiful setting, not too difficult but you do need to be quite fit as a little hilly. 19th was very welcoming. Will definitely return
Would give more stars if I could I have been playing golf for 20+ years and rarely have I come across a set up that has everything a golfer could want in spades. Today was my first visit having just moved to the area, and everything was spot on Peter in the pro shop was brilliant - friendly, chatty and more than helpful. The course - well - I have yet to visit the wonders of Scottish or Irish golf - but Skipton GC must surely be set in one of the most picturesque locations in England. The best element of the picturesque element is, the course has been designed as if it has been there since the Dales were formed. There are no forced hazards, no sudden bunkers - This course let's the landscape do the talking and shot shaping. I am a mid to high handicap, but stood on each tee, I found myself working out the tee shot as if I had a caddy on the bag and a million pounds on the line - and the reward for the good shots, other than giving yourself a great chance of par as all the greens are perfectly receptive - is watching the shot you'd visualized, sail off into the dales skyline. Every golfer visiting North and West Yorkshire, absolutely must visit Skipton Golf Club - it is a true reminder of what golf should be about from course to clubhouse
We’re a Society that plays every week on different courses locally.. I must say that this course is the best at the minute by a country mile. Karen the manager and Peter the Pro could not have made our visit more enjoyable. Great condition with stunning greens. Will be back very soon.
Came up to meet a couple of friends and its the first time we've all played this course. The course itself was very good with its challenges one being the weather lol. Would love to come back on a summer day and experience it in its glory. The staff well excellent and very friendly
Warm welcome from the pro and catering staff. A good breakfast to start with, but come on, where were the beans😅 . Very reasonable green fees. The course was in excellent condition considering the amount of rain in recent days. Great views of the surrounding countryside taken in on a well set out course that I would highly recommend.
