Ilkley Golf Club : The Clubhouse

If you are playing golf in Yorkshire then a visit to Ilkley is a must. Nestled in the beautiful Wharfe Valley with the famous Moor as a backdrop, Ilkley is one of the most picturesque golf clubs in the country.

However golfers must not be fooled by its beauty, as the River Wharfe is an ever-present threat for the first seven holes of this tree-lined course.

It is where seven times top European money earner Colin Montgomerie learnt his golf. Indeed Colin Montgomerie says; "Although I have played golf on the finest courses in the world, Ilkley Golf Club will always have a special place in my heart. The course combines a challenging test of golf with breathtaking scenery and it is always a pleasure to play there."

It also boasts former Ryder Cup captain, Mark James, and former Walker Cup captain, Rodney Foster, as an honorary life members.

An excellent course, top class catering and a warm Yorkshire welcome will ensure a visit to Ilkley Golf Club will be extremely enjoyable.
