Oakdale Golf Club established in 1914 offers one 18-hole (Par71, 6477 yards) course and a simulator (£10 per half hour, £20 per hour – book in advance). Note there is no driving range so the simulator is a good option to warm up. While the course can be quite forgiving, it still commands respect with its fair share of bunkers, water hazards, rough and spinneys lying in wait.
Visitor Tee times from 9:30 am from £60 per person. Thursdays and Monday afternoons are the quietest times. The only course that is within walking distance of town. Call 01423567162 to book your tee times.
Established in 1904 and offering one 18-hole (Par 72, 6404 yards), Pannal Golf Course is for the more advanced player. The most expensive option at £120 per person, Pannal can be a tricky course especially in the wind.
Book via the website or phone for larger groups. Pannal also offers a simulator at £7 per half hour.
Avoid competition days on Tuesdays and Saturdays, certainly a good option for the more competitive players.
Located between Harrogate and Wetherby, Spofforth Golf Course welcomes pay and play golfers. From £18 per person, a four ball would be just £72 offering great value for the Par 72, 5640 yard 18 hole course.
There is a driving range and a clubhouse offering light refreshments.
Book via the website, certain times are restricted to 9 holes.
