Ganton Golf Club, North Yorkshire – a true ‘bucket list’ experience

GANTON GOLF CLUB

A visit to Ganton Golf Club remains a true ‘bucket list’ experience for those who ‘know and love’ golf.

The course is renown for fast running smooth surfaces, and the incredible bunkering, sandy wasteland areas, gorse, and fine wispy rough grasses present a great challenge.

Golf’s leading architects and players have had a hand in fine tuning the course since 1891, including Mackenzie, Fowler, Colt and Ganton Club Professional Harry Vardon in the early 1900’s. It is difficult to categorise Ganton as a heathland or a links venue; golfers experience the feel of a seaside course, but it’s a few miles from the coast; for that reason, most describe it as an ‘inland links’! Many holes stand out; however, the tough finishing stretch from the 15th must be taken seriously and are truly memorable. Recent enhancements to reintroduce the traditional sandy nature of the course have been introduced under the direction of leading golf architect Martin Ebert, and the course remains in Top100 World, European and UK rankings.

Many national and international events have been played at Ganton, including the Ryder Cup, Walker Cup and Curtis Cup team events as well as three British amateur championships and several national ones.

Ganton remains a ‘go to’ venue for the R&A and England Golf, and in 2021 Ganton welcomed back the R&A British Senior Amateur Championship, and the Brabazon – English Amateurs Strokeplay Championship.

Many guests take the opportunity to ‘stay & play’ using Vardon House, Dormy accommodation; this new facility has proven very popular in its first full season, and groups of up to 8 golfers can fully immerse themselves in the history and tradition found in Ganton’s clubhouse facilities.
