The north of England is a treasure trove for lovers of the great outdoors. With several of the country's most loved National Parks, North Yorkshire is particularly appealing to holidaymakers. The Dales and Moors are great places for walking, but there's something else which attracts good numbers of tourists to this beautiful county - golf. North Yorkshire boasts an impressive array of golf courses, and even a number of golf hotels.
A Golf Course On-Site
North Yorkshire is England's largest county, but tourists needn't spend all their time travelling around. Golfers who value convenience will be impressed by the handful of golf hotels in North Yorkshire which feature golf courses within their grounds.
Aldwark Manor Golf and Spa Hotel is the site of the very well respected Aldwark Manor Golf Club. The 6187, par 72 golf course presents a variety of challenges, suiting players of all abilities. The grounds of the hotel are stunning and the restaurant serves some delicious, locally sourced grub.
Links Play on the Coast
North Yorkshire may be best known for its wealth of inland beauty, but there's also a long stretch of coast waiting for visitors. The seaside resort of Scarborough is a charming place which boasts a gorgeous beach, perfect for a relaxed summer afternoon. As you'd expect from such a pretty coastline, there's some excellent links play to be had.
Raven Hall Country House Hotel is located in Ravenscar, a short distance from Scarborough and the coast. The luxurious hotel is within easy reach of some of the county's finest golf courses.
Take Care of Your Body
With such fabulous play across the county's courses, it can be tempting to get out on the fairway every day. This can take its toll on the body, however. Fortunately, a number of golf hotels in North Yorkshire also feature some comforting spa facilities.
The Ripon Spa Hotel offers guests an array of sporting activities in the surrounding area, golf included. Guests can arrive back at the hotel's magnificent grounds at the end of the day and indulge themselves in the sauna, letting the body recover, ready for another round.
