A challenging but fair test of golf – with great greens!

York

Reason for a York Golf Club review

For the past few years, it has been a family tradition to take my Dad to play golf on Father’s Day, and there is no better place to do this than at the fantastic York Golf Club.

Where is York?

York Golf Club is situated in the village of Strensall, just 5 miles from York City Centre.

 

What to expect?

A great mixture of heathland and parkland in the heart of Strensall Common.

Each hole is tree-lined from tee to green, and is a challenging but fair test of golf with some of the best greens I have ever had the pleasure of playing.

York

My Best Bit?

I always enjoy the short, yet challenging Par 3s.

However, good/bad I am playing, I always have the belief that I am going to get a hole-in-one, and the Par 3s here would be the perfect place to try and get that prolonged Ace.

When I go back…

I will make sure to play the course conservatively off the tee, and rely on the true greens to score well. Every time I play the course, you have the confidence that you are going to hole every putt as the greens are that good!

Steve Carroll

A journalist for more than 25 years, Steve has been immersed in club golf for almost as long.

A former club captain, he has passed the Level 3 Rules of Golf exam with distinction having attended the R&A’s prestigious Tournament Administrators and Referees Seminar.

Steve has officiated at a host of high-profile tournaments, including Open Regional Qualifying, PGA Fourball Championship, English Men’s Senior Amateur, and the North of England Amateur Championship. In 2023, he made his international debut as part of the team that refereed England vs Switzerland U16 girls.

A part of NCG’s Top 100s panel, Steve has a particular love of links golf and is frantically trying to restore his single-figure handicap. He’d like to tell you he floats around 10. The reality is more like 13.

Steve plays at Sandburn Hall, in York, and is a country member at Close House in Newcastle. He has served on various club committees during his time in the game, and is the current Rules Secretary at Sandburn.

Having studied history at Newcastle University, he became a journalist having passed his NCTJ exams at Darlington College of Technology.
