Heworth Golf Club - York

The golf course, which is situated only a mile and a half from the city centre of York, and is a parkland course with tight fairways, small greens and a substantial number of mature trees of diverse species. Although it is a relatively short course (6105 yards) it is a definite test for golfers of all abilities. It is not easy to ‘burn it up'. The secret of a successful round is straight hitting and accepting one's punishment when in trouble. The four par three holes are rated as the toughest par threes in the York Union of Golf Clubs. The course's antiquity is reflected in the quality of the greens.
