About
For over a century, Skipton Golf Club has been at the heart of the sports community in the charming town of Skipton, UK. With its contemporary clubhouse and breathtaking views of the Yorkshire Dales, it offers a welcoming atmosphere for all.
Established in 1896 as Craven Golf Club, it moved to its current spot and became Skipton Golf Club shortly after. It's now a flourishing 18-hole course since 1980. The club has seen many key moments, including the election of its first female President in 2021.
The clubhouse, featuring a revamped restaurant, lounge, and bar area, overlooks the 18th green. Members and guests can enjoy the Kestrel Café & Bar, well-known for its tasty and reasonably priced food, from bar snacks to three-course meals or even a Sunday lunch, all while enjoying the stunning course views.
Skipton Golf Club plays host to various events throughout the year. From live music and quiz nights to themed food evenings and wine tastings, there's something for everyone. A crowd favourite is the pig racing events—picture grown men cheering on battery-operated pigs for a laugh! 🐷
Beyond golf and good food, the club is a versatile venue for functions, weddings, and parties. With seating for up to 100 people and a permanent dance floor, it's perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas parties, and weddings. The club also offers a peaceful setting for funeral or memorial gatherings, catering from light teas to hearty buffets.
For corporate events and conferences, Skipton Golf Club's newly refurbished conference room is ideal. Accommodating up to 32 people, it's centrally located between Leeds, Manchester, York, and Harrogate, with excellent train links and proximity to Leeds Bradford Airport. Free on-site parking and various room setups, along with full catering options, make it an excellent choice. And what better way to wrap up a meeting than a round of golf on the beautiful course?
David, the organiser, is particularly proud that Skipton Golf Club prioritises safety and well-being for all. As part of England Golf SafeGolf, the club is committed to providing a safe and positive environment for all golfers, especially children and young people.
