About Boothferry

Designed by legendary modern day golf course architect, Donald Steel, Boothferry Golf Club is one of the most enjoyable meadowland courses in Yorkshire, popular with many visiting golfers.

This established course in a tranquil setting within the Vale of York is a pleasing test featuring natural dykes that occasionally provide additional challenges on a number of holes!

The course is easy walking and quite flat making it particularly attractive to the more mature golfer as well as the younger ones. During the summer months, a fleet of golf buggies are available for hire.

Boothferry is well worth a visit, with easy access from the B1228, 3 miles north of Howden (exit M62 at junction 36), or 2 miles west off the A614 from Holme-on-Spalding-Moor.
