Rudding Park is to open a playful new 18-hole golf course that celebrates Yorkshire’s most famous legends, landmarks and icons on August 1.

The Great Yorkshire Golf Adventure will open on Yorkshire Day at the Harrogate hotel, spa and golf resort.

The story-led experience aims to appeal to serious and less serious golfers who want to play the game while learning about the people, places and moments that have shaped Yorkshire.

From Vikings and Guy Fawkes to York Minster, Whitby, Theakston Brewery to the Yorkshire Dales, each hole tells a story.

The game is situated within the new Gimme Golf destination at Rudding Park,

Matthew Mackaness, Rudding’s joint managing director said: 

Yorkshire has always inspired fierce pride and the Great Yorkshire Golf Adventure is our tribute to the county we love. We've taken

Yorkshire's stories, landmarks, myths and achievements and transformed them into a fun, immersive experience that can be enjoyed by everyone.

Head of golf Marc Rice said Gimme Golf was “on a mission to break down traditional barriers to the game”.
