More about Wakefield

One of the region’s most prestigious courses, Wakefield Golf Club is set in undulating parkland with views over Wakefield and the surrounding countryside.

It is a mature course where each hole is very individual offering challenges to golfers of all abilities. Whilst many fairways are tree lined you are unlikely to lose your ball if you stray into them as the grass is kept short.

Greens have true putting surfaces playable all year round. The two loops of nine holes each start and return to the clubhouse.
