Had a great round at Horseforth. Course in good condition but quite damp in places so not much run in the ball. Its a challenging course but forgiving to those wayward shots.
Great to be so close to the planes landing and taking off but it is noisy on a couple of holes.
Very friendly welcome from the pro. Didn't go into the main club house but the outside seating area looked nicely presented.

Really enjoyed the round. First 9 are mainly on the cliff tops with views across Scarborough bay and the dramatic cliffs of the east coast. These are more like playing links but wide enough to be foregiving. The wind made it really challenging.
Second 9 are tighter and more parkland.
All holes are well kept, greens fast and with tricky slopes there is always the possibility of 3 and 4 putts!!
Only negative i can say is the tees were a bit worn but this a nit picking and it was sjnday afternoon.
Didn'to into the clubhouse but people were enjoying the balcony whch looks over the 18th green.
Will go back asap.

The course was in good condition but small patches were still recovering after last years hot weather. It sits is on a long hill which you play along, slowly rising. It is undulating too which creates a few blind shots hots above and below your feet. The first 6 holes run in parallel so can be quite close but after the 6th the course really opens out, with wide fairways and long holes.
This is a very old course with mature tress and flower beds. Due to the time of year the tees and flowers are yet to come out but I am sure in summer this place would be beautiful with some good views across Leeds in places.
We teed off around lunch and we had the whole course to ourselves so it was a relaxing round.
The clubhouse is large, with a good balcony overlooking the course. There were only a few people in but they were very friendly.
