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.

Really tidy course
Great course, plenty of different holes with lots going on dog legs and challenging par 3’s.
5⭐️
Now playing off the winter mats
But the course held up well on the fairways
Brilliant views and the staff at the bar are always welcoming
If you get chance to play in summer here do so
A gem of a place wish it was closer as I would join in a heartbeat !!
Great facilities and staff wouldn't rush back.
Staff and facilities were excellent pace of play was horrendous. The core seems in its infancy of being developed. Will be wet in Winter.
Great course, stunning views
Played 1st time today,
was recommended this course as a 'hidden gem'
Great layout, stunning views of 2 of the three national 3 peaks.
fairways and tee boxes excellant condition.
greens were poor when we played due to spiking and top dressing, but have been told they are normally excellant.
Club House and 19th hole Great. Will play again when next in the area
Hadn’t played the course for quite a while as it is quite a distance away from where we live.didn’t disappoint club is very friendly with an excellent layout of holes.it was in excellent condition with great views.great value for money and would play it a lot more if lived nearer strongly recommend it thanks for a good day out.
Excellent course In beautiful countryside
Quite hilly on some holes but very well set out with fantastic views of the North Yorkshire countryside. The wet weather throughout July and August has taken its toll and the long grass especially the rough and semi rough is punishing for middle to high handicappers. Greens were excellent. Only complaint was the noise!!. Construction vehicles ie diggers trucks, and service vans to the many lodges around the course plus the green keepers were mowing right behind us on several holes. I’m sure on a weekend the course is much quieter though.,
Really good course so scenic and quiet
U can literally hear a pin drop on the course lovely views of surrounding areas everywhere u look greens was amazing although soft and wet after heavy rain were still fast would recomend only paid £20 would have happily paid £35 really enjoyed by a mixed ability golfers
Wonderful views
Enjoyable visit with friendly greenstaff. Course was in excellent condition and wonderful views of the surrounding countryside.
Excellent value for money and a well set out Course with interesting holes.
Fantastic
Fantastic course. 100% recommend. course layout. views first class.
Outstanding natural use of land
Stunning views, superb mix of holes with dog legs, semi blind shots long and short using natural undulations.
Would play it every day if I could- superb value
Fantastic Course
Brilliant golf course, one of the best maintained courses I have come across, paths alongside every fairway, brilliant greens. Course is hilly but with its location I expected that, all round fantastic course would definately recommend
Great course at a great price
Even on a windy day I really enjoyed our fourball. Course is in good condition, with some lovely picturesque holes and some challenging holes particularly the ones more open to the elements.
Would definitely recommend playing and there are some excellent deals at different times of day, making it great value for money compared to similar standard courses in the area.
