Bentham Golf Club
About
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.

Beautiful course with great facilities
We first saw Bentham on Golf Mates and decided we wanted to visit as part of our family golf trip. It’s a beautiful scenic course, with views towards the three peaks. The course is exceptionally well maintained with diamond cut fairways and immaculate greens. Lots of variety and different challenges to think about. Quite hilly in places and very windy when we played. Super little driving range for a warm up, can pay contactless at the machine. £6.50 for 100 balls when we visited. We have now been three times and will no doubt be back again when we can. Would be great if the lodge stays including golf and we would then certainly become regular visitors.
Cracking course
Really enjoyed our day out at Bentham, course was in good condition despite the recent heat wave. Only downside was the lack of hot food during the week.
Magnificent, on and off the course.
14 of us played here as the last leg of our tour and we couldn't have finished on a higher note. The welcome, food and all off course facilities were terrific but the star is the golf course. Wonderful condition, interesting holes, great greens, fairways to die for... thank you for a brilliant day. We will be back!
Hidden Gem
Great course and facilities set in beautiful countryside. Highly recommended.
Hidden Gem
I read a few good reviews about this course and was disappointed!
A hidden gem bit off the beaten track probably why, fantastic setting, very much up hill down Dale, but they have buggy for hire for those that struggle to walk it.
Fairways immaculate, greens not the fastest but given tge location can understand why.
Small but well stocked Pro shop, wonderful clubhouse with lovely staff.
Should be played from May - Sept to experience the best conditions.
A cold drink after a round sat on the veranda makes for an amazing experience.
A must if your are passing by or can commute ( I drove 2hrs to get here)
Fantastic condition
Played Bentham today in a 3 ball and the course was in great condition. Course quite busy but never felt crowded or rushed.
Great afternoon of golf.
Great course to play.
The course was in great condition the only downside was the greens a little slow.
Definitely play it again this summer, the staff very friendly on the course and in the club house.
Definitely recommend playing the course and the views are stunning.
Bentham
Great layout and a bargain at £15. Whole course to myself. Greens id imagine will be top class in the summer but had been dressed when I played. To be expected at this time of year. Interesting layout out and plenty of room. Would definitely return
Well worth the hours drive! Enjoyable course and the conditions were fantastic for the time of year.. definitely be visiting again soon for golf and the chocolate orange cake! 🤣
Great course
Course was in great condition would recommend anyone to visit Bentham. The views are stunning
Great value for money
Played on a mid Feb day, course was in decent condition for the time of year. Greens had been tined and played fine, bunkers were very good for the time of year. Played off mats all round the course but tbh this is probably a good thing and the fairways look in good condition for when the season starts. At £10 you can’t go wrong. Shame there is no food but the Black Bull in Bentham were doing lunches for £7!
Well worth a visit if you are in the area
A really nice hillside course with both challenges and opportunities for the average golfer. Prep work has been already been done on the greens so they should be playing excellently soon. Check out the weather forecast before as it is open to the elements. Mats in use over winter. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely return to play again 👍
Fantastic course
What an amazing course to play on! It was in excellent condition, the scenery is fantastic and we will definitely be going back in the summer. Staff very super friendly and the facilities very nice.
Hidden jem
This is a brilliant course the views are fantastic l wish l lived a bit nearer, it’s a true hidden Jem first saw it on golfmates and have now played it 5 times l can’t wait to go back in the summer.
Really good course so scenic and quiet
U can literally hear a pin drop on the course lovely views of surrounding areas everywhere u look greens was amazing although soft and wet after heavy rain were still fast would recomend only paid £20 would have happily paid £35 really enjoyed by a mixed ability golfers
Wonderful views
Enjoyable visit with friendly greenstaff. Course was in excellent condition and wonderful views of the surrounding countryside.
Excellent value for money and a well set out Course with interesting holes.
