About

Bentham Golf Course is situated in the Three Peaks area of North Yorkshire and has stunning scenery of Ingleborough and the surrounding hills. Often referred to as the 'Augusta of The Dales', Bentham Golf Course is a beautiful parkland course with tree lined fairways, multiple lakes and lush fairways. The course welcomes golfers of all abilities, offering an enjoyable round to less experience players and a challenge to those lower handicappers. The signature hole of the course is the par 3 10th that has you look down from an elevated tee to a tempting green which lies just on the other side of a stone walled pond.

The venue offers a great drink selection and some catering in the clubhouse which makes it the perfect place to enjoy a post-round drink and watch fellow golfers complete their round from the patio over looking the 18th. There is a pro shop on site too which is fully stocked with the latest brands and apparel, where custom club fitting is available. There is also a driving range and new practice chipping area under construction ready for the 2021 season. The course is home to Wenningdale Escapes who have on offer luxury glamping pod and lodge stays. These can be booked for a family holiday or for a golfing getaway.

Excellent days golf

All positive, from pro staff catering staff and ground staff , couldn’t fault them. The course was in superb condition greens pacey but true and fairways were professionally cut and graded so there was no ball hunting in semi 👍 Just to add if you are after food the menu is varied and is very tasty!

Amazing

Great price for the course. Staff were really friendly, spoke to a few other regulars and was really welcoming. Didn't see a divot on the fairways. Immaculate, can't wait to play again

Belting course

Played Bentham loads of times always get a good deal,this time it would have been good to be given a heads up as there was a open competition on and to be honest the pace of play was horrendous 4hours for 14 holes isn't acceptable we actually walked off after completing the 14th otherwise it would have been another hour and half to finish the whole eighteen,but having said all that will definitely be back again and again by the way the breakfast is class 👍

Played here during the summer and really enjoyed it. The course was in good condition, and the staff were friendly. It’s a shorter course, but the holes are challenging and the layout is well thought out.
