Cleveland Golf Club

Founded in 1887 Cleveland Golf Club holds the distinction of being the only links course in England’s largest golfing county and the oldest golf club affiliated to the Yorkshire Union of Golf Clubs.

Old Tom Morris was just one of a host of prominent architects including Harry Colt and latterly Donald Steel, to bring their vision to this piece of golfing terrain. Steel fashioned three new holes –the 14th to the 16th – and the course now measures 6,921 from the back tees playing to a par of 72.

The doyen of golf writers Bernard Darwin wrote: “...the course of the Cleveland Golf Club at Redcar is as fine a piece of natural golfing country as you can imagine…at the end of the course looms a vast steel works its tall chimneys pouring out their smoke.” ... “Look away ... the seas and the sandhills and the bents and the ground that undulates so gently and perfectly; you will feel grateful for such a piece of ground and forget about the steel works.”

Cleveland has hosted top class professional and amateur events including the 2017 Yorkshire Amateur when Walker Cup player Alex Fitzpatrick set the course record of 62.
