In the heart of North Yorkshire, Bedale provides the Golfing Gateway to the Dales.
The course, opened in 1894, has all the anticipated benefits of the Dales countryside combined with easy walking and good natural drainage.
It winds through beautiful 18th Century parkland, formerly a deer park, 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 but will provide all levels of golfer with a challenging and enjoyable day’s golf.
The Club is situated on the outskirts of the thriving Bedale Town Centre, within 3 miles of junction 51 on the A1 and this links to the new A684 relief road which gives golfers a 5-minute journey from the motorway to the club.
Bedale is proud to be part of the 1894 club offering recipricol golf with 21 national golf clubs along with recipricol golf at Durham City, Bishop Auckland, Richmond and Saltburn.

Bob M - Via Golfshake“Another great day at Bedale Golf Club on our annual trip to Yorkshire, always a friendly welcome and excellent course.”
Lee Hammers - Rochford Hundred GC, Essex“Many thanks for hosting our group yesterday. Everyone was very welcoming and helpful and everything went very smoothly. We all enjoyed the golf course which was in excellent condition, we appreciate the effort your greens staff must be making given the lack of rainfall in recent months. The catering before and after the golf was excellent, the steak pie and chips after the golf was excellent. Staff were very friendly and efficient in serving us. Our group of 16 left very satisfied with our day out and I’m sure we will come again. Thanks again ”
