Founded in 1894 and at the present site since 1967, Bedale is a friendly club with three thriving adult sections, a busy juniors’ section, a full programme of competitions – weekly, monthly and annual - and a lively social side. The course lies only five minutes from the A1 and is just 200 yards from the attractive Georgian town with its full range of shops.

The course winds through beautiful 18th Century parkland, with wide, tree-lined fairways and long-range views of the Wensleydale hills. Water comes into play on seven holes and the course is made more challenging by the prevailing Westerly breeze. Hit the ball straight and you will score well; find the trees and you will need to take your medicine!

We have an outstanding young Course Manager, who heads up a greens team committed to constant improvement of the course : Bedale was selected for a prestigious County tournament in 2009. Our fully-stocked pro shop is open seven days a week, while our Catering Manager cooked for Royalty in a previous occupation. He and his wife run the bar and separate dining room in our modern clubhouse, which enjoys panoramic views of the course from the open air veranda.

For Members, during the April - September season the Men’s Section holds monthly medals and Stablefords, and there are weekly competitions on a Tuesday afternoon and Thursday morning open to all, plus a range of knock out and one-off events.

We field an ‘A’ team and a ‘B’ team in regular matches against local clubs.

The Ladies’ Section meets on a Wednesday morning with a combination of qualifying and fun competitions. There is a second competition on a Saturday morning, open to all, which allows competitive golf for Members who are busy during the week . The Ladies have a Scratch team, and ‘A’ and ‘B’ teams for local matches. They also stage a number of friendlies to enable the higher handicappers to experience match conditions.

The Seniors (over 55) meet on Friday mornings with a structured competition programme the year round, including monthly medals and Stablefords, and also informally on a Tuesday morning. There are also pairs and singles knock out competitions. From April – October the Seniors play a total of 30 matches, home and away. The Seniors also organise a series of highly-popular Jazz Evenings in the clubhouse.

The thriving Junior Section offers a relaxed, friendly atmosphere for all abilities aged between 7 and 18, while also producing golfers chosen to represent the Club at Union, County and National level. The Club stages regular competitions during summer months and, with handicaps of up to 54, there are winning opportunities for all. The more serious golfers get the chance to represent the Club in team that plays in the Harrogate Union of Golf Clubs junior league.

Bedale has a growing list of Members, who enjoy one of North Yorkshire golfing gems for around £13 per week. If you are interested in joining them – or just want a day at the ‘golfing gateway to the Dales’ – you are assured of a warm welcome.
