Ganton Golf Club in the Vale of Pickering between York and Scarborough ranks among some of the very best of Britain’s inland courses. Over the years Ganton has been the host to many Amateur and Professional events and when some of them events are The Walker Cup, Curtis Cup and Ryder Cup, this is one course you need to tackle like the many greats have before.
Ganton is often misleadingly classed as a heathland course, but its character is more akin to links golf. Located no more than 9 miles from the coast, Ganton was originally called the Scarborough Golf Club, and was conceived by the St Andrews professional, Tom Chisholm.
Ganton is currently ranked in the top 30 of Europe’s Championship Courses and is one that should be on your golfing bucket lists.

0800 043 6644In the following half century, the course was subject to alterations by James Braid, J.H. Taylor and Alister Mackenzie, and with these changes its reputation only continued to improve. Testament to the golf course's quality is that it has hosted the most prestigious events; the frequent calls for Ganton to be added to the Open Championship rotation are the result of the successful hosting of the 2000 Curtis Cup, the 2003 Walker Cup and the 1949 Ryder Cup matches.
Ganton is a relentless test, demanding accuracy from the tee to avoid the punishing fescue that lines the fairways, and the utmost skill to negotiate the greens and their menacing bunkers. An amazing blend of links and heathland golf, Ganton in North Yorkshire is truly one of England's most special golfing destinations.
