Open Competitions in North Yorkshire

Why Enter an Open Golf Event in North Yorkshire?

North Yorkshire is one of the great heritage golf counties in England, with a remarkable concentration of championship venues across the Vale of York and the Vale of Pickering. Ganton's 1891 heath-and-links layout near Scarborough — host of the 1949 Ryder Cup and the 2003 Walker Cup — is consistently ranked among England's top 10 inland courses, while Fulford's York heathland former European Tour venue and Pannal's moorland course at Harrogate add two more historic championship venues to the calendar. The Yorkshire Challenge rotates each September across Ganton, Moortown and Lindrick — a triumvirate of England's finest heath-and-moorland courses.

Beyond the marquee tier, Cleveland at Redcar is the oldest links in Yorkshire and host of the North Yorkshire & South Durham Championship, while Scarborough South Cliff brings clifftop golf to the East Coast. With the East Coast Main Line, A1(M) and M62 all running through Yorkshire and the Dales, the Moors and the Yorkshire Coast itself drawing visitors year-round, North Yorkshire is one of the most rewarding destinations in northern England for amateur tournament play and multi-day golf trips.
