Bentham Golf Club

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
Magnificent course with top notch greens. Definitely will go again and play there. The fella at the club shop was pretty decent as well.
Great course
Great course. Challenging but playable holes with Great variety. We'll be back.
Fantastic Course
Been wanting to play here for years as always heard such good things.. well, absolutely stunning is all I can say.. what a fantastic golf course.. I've been so lucky to play lots of courses all over the world but I have to say this place ticks so many boxes.. layout superb and also designed to cater for every level of player... Course was credit to the ground staff.. pro shop and club staff couldn't be more friendly.. great vibe in the clubhouse so you can tell that it's a very friendly golf club.. will definitely be back..many times
Fantastic
One of the best if not the best course within an hour from myself the course has a variety of different holes, it is always in fantastic condition and really a pleasure to play. The staff are friendly and the food is very tasty. If you haven’t played here you need to book now.
Gorgeous
Played Bentham a few times, but this was the first in good weather. The course was in great condition. Some cracking holes.
Great day of golf
Really enjoyed this course and thoroughly impressed with it all.
Friendly club shop and clubhouse for a coffee before. Club shop also had some good deals on individual clubs and well stocked with plenty of whatever you’d need.
Driving range next to the first tee and more than enough for a pre round warm up. Also not expensive to get a bucket.
Course itself is very good. Didn’t feel there was any filler holes and some of the par 3s were quite fun too. We all used our trolleys and had no issues with this.
Overall one of the better courses I’ve played and exceptional value for money
Very good course
The course is well laid out with a variety of water hazards and sand traps.
Greens were in great condition saying it was early March.
Course played long with ball plugging .
Only complaint was having to play off fairway mats. Had to use some from the club. First time experience, and it wasn't good.
Didn't know before that this was a requirement.
Lovely course and views
We enjoy this course, great views and some interesting holess. Winter rates £10 each! Very quiet on the course.
The course is playing of winter tees and mats on the fairway. Thee greens were still in good condition and although some very wet areas on some fairways overall the course played well.
The mats were provided at no cost by the pro shop.
Good bar that serves coffee, pannis as well as beer!
We enjoyed it
Bentham November 24
Staff are brilliant can’t do enough to help course is brilliant but it was far too wet to play I got caught behind a four ball that was going very slowly so a bit frustrating but a good experience generally
Very good.
Great. A bit of maintenance / building work happening, but didnt really effect the round
Bentham Golf Club
I had seen plenty of reviews saying how fantastic this golf course is so decided to see for myself. The condition of the course was fantastic even at this time of year and we had glorious sunshine which was a bonus. I will definitely play this course several times again hopefully in a few weeks time.
Stunning
A beautiful golf course, great value on the hot deals.
A round with a view
If you have not played here you should, the course layout is great with a variety of holes and is in fantastic condition and looks amazing, the views of the surrounding countryside is stunning and all the staff are friendly, approachable and really really helpful. So what’s stopping you give it a try
Golf's Affordable Excellence
I have played all around the world, and this was the best golf value on the planet. Incredible views, Immaculate course. Well laid out and designed. Give your future self a reason to thank you for booking a tee time. It is in the middle of who knows where and VERY worth the drive! HUGE recommendation!
Bentham GC
Great views from course, though building site working on the new on course chalets significantly detracted.
Several holes very wet for August
Greens were good but overall course very average.
