Easingwold Golf Club North Yorkshire
Easingwold Golf Club lies about half a mile East of the charming market town of Easingwold, on the Stillington Road, looking across fields to the village of Crayke and the foothills of the North York Moors beyond.
It was founded in 1930 by a small group of far-sighted and dedicated local golfers. The course has been progressively developed over the years and now measures 6699yards, with an SSS of 72 and a Par of 73. There is a wealth of wildlife to be found on this parkland and heathland course. A fine collection of mature trees, with heather, and some water necessitates thoughtful and accurate play.
The adage: ‘Keep it straight!’ was never more apt than here. It is entirely surrounded by farmland and is particularly enjoyable because it is laid out in one of the loveliest areas of North Yorkshire and is remote from any habitation or busy roads. It is not uncommon to see deer skip across the course, their short white tails bobbing as they run. Foxes, badgers and the less desirable squirrels and rabbits inhabit the land. Birds of all species abound and there are few things better than to walk the course on a sunny, fresh spring morning, listening to the chaffinch, skylark, fieldfare or the distant rat-a-tat of lesser spotted woodpeckers, declaring their territory.
The club hosts many prestigious events, not least the Lord Deramore ‘Battle of Britain Trophy’ competition which is competed for each September by serving and former R A F personnel from all over the country. It is popular with golfing societies and corporate groups, who tend to come on a regular basis from a very wide catchment area. It has good clubhouse facilities and offers attractive ‘all-in’ day packages.
There is a resident professional who has a well stocked shop offering a wide range of equipment and clothing to suit all tastes. His reputation as a golf coach is second to none. Whatever the size of your party, you can be assured of a pleasant and enjoyable golfing experience with friendly, efficient service and a programme tailored to your particular requirements.
