The 18-hole 'South Course' is VERY long and VERY challenging! Beautifully
designed & landscaped, with water protecting the majority of the holes - every
par feels great! The 9-hole 'North Course', by contrast, is a simple par-3 warm-up,
really. The only fly in the ointment is a tendency for the South Course to get
boggy in wet winter weather. Can't wait for the new, slightly shorter, 'Pine Valley'
18-hole course to open at the end of 2005... Rob Kilbey April 13,
2005 Home of the Yorkshire P.G.A Championship and voted to be amongst the
best new courses in the British Isles, the Club now boasts two 18 hole courses
and a 9 hole course. The 9 hole Fountain Ridge course is perfect for those
wishing to take up or improve their golf whilst the 18 hole Pine Valley course
is ideal for those wanting more of a challenge. The Willow Valley Course is
a masterpiece ! Designed to challenge the skill of the most experienced golfer,
built to U.S.G.A standards, 11 of its 18 holes are guarded by water ! The island
green on the 14th hole has the golfer deciding whether to lay up or go for it
in regulation. Along side the water numerous bunkers and strategically placed
trees make this a most interesting and picturesque course. Visitors are advised
to allow between 4 to 5 hours to play the course. Chris Blowers April
