Open Competitions in South Yorkshire

Why Enter an Open Golf Event in South Yorkshire?

South Yorkshire is home to one of the great heathland golf venues in England in Lindrick — the 1891 heath-and-moorland course that hosted the historic 1957 Ryder Cup, won by Britain & Ireland under Dai Rees, and the only home victory between 1933 and 1985. The Heathland Classic rotates Lindrick with Notts (Hollinwell) and Sherwood Forest across three days each June, while the Yorkshire Challenge brings together Lindrick, Moortown and Ganton in September — two of the most coveted multi-day amateur events on the English calendar.

Beyond Lindrick, Abbeydale at Dore brings a heritage parkland venue to the south of Sheffield with the long-running Sheffield Plate, while Dore & Totley and Rotherham round out a deep network of well-presented club calendars. With the M1 and the Sheffield-Doncaster rail line running through the county, plus the Peak District National Park and the historic Wentworth Woodhouse drawing visitors year-round, South Yorkshire is a quietly rewarding destination for amateur tournament play across the marquee venues and the heritage parkland tier.
