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.

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

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.,

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.
