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

Brilliant worth the travel up the motorway, course in great condition, a little inconsistent on the greens but that could be down to the weather because in past they where great
All the staff in the club house make you so welcome,certainly will be going back there later in the summer.

One of the nicest courses I have played, fairways and greens kept in pristine condition with some lovely designed holes to go along with the scenery they are set in. It's not a challenging course to play as some others are so is good for all level of golfer and well worth a visit. Hats off to all the green keepers at Bentham who obviously work very hard to keep the course in tip top condition. Me and my golfing buddies will definitely be paying another visit to the beautiful course.

Well worth a look!!!!

This is a gem of a course. It’s improved every time I’ve visited. An interesting track and great value. If it was closer to home I’d be applying for membership.

Cracking round of Winter golf

Great to be out after 6 weeks of rain. Coarse surprisingly dry tee boxes but all greens normal and rolling well. Can’t recommend Bentham enough. If you want a good round of golf in stunning surroundings then get there.
Plus it’s a bargain.

Bentham GC

Spent the full day at Bentham GC,started out with a superb breakfast before heading to the range, then onto the course,the first few holes are pretty narrow but eventually open up great halfway house on the ninth tee,some great holes with stunning views,best hole for me was the 10th par 3 over water, highly recommended will definitely be coming back.
