What the club says: The course was designed by Alistair MacKenzie famous as the designer of the Augusta National course and many other prominent American courses and incorporates three examples of the Mackenzie green. Pontefract and District Golf Club was established in 1904. The course is an attractive parkland course with several interesting holes. Because of its compact layout is a good test of golf for a par of 71 and a SSS of 69.

Good track
Not overly long but tough enough for a high handicapper like me. Changes in elevation make it play more difficult.Reviewer Rating

Great course in good conditions ther is a lot of hills . So if you like a flat course this is not for you . They do have golf buggys to hire but you have to phone to book them . But great course . If you play in the autumn try to pick a coloured ball ther is lots of trees . And now the leafs are falling so finding it is very hard

I have played this course many times and have not seen it in as good a condition at this time of year as it currently is. It is a joy to play and is quickly returning to the superb conditions of yesteryear.
