Forest Park Golf Club, Stockton-on-the-Forest

The courses

The Old Foss is an 18-hole, par-71 parkland course, relatively flat but with gentle natural undulations. It runs to more than 6,600 yards from the white tees and is shaped by the Old Foss Beck, a stream that wanders through the course and creates a natural hazard on many of the hardest holes. The beck is most prominent on the 10th, 11th and 12th, known locally as York's own 'Amen Corner'. Expect tight fairways, several doglegs, four par threes and three long par fives, the longest being the 602-yard 10th. The nine-hole West course offers a shorter game. Both are flat, easy-walking courses with tree-lined fairways and large greens.

Booking and visitor practicalities

Tee times can be booked online, and the club welcomes visitors, societies and golf days. The visitor pages also list offers such as twilight rates and golf packages. Buggies and trolleys can be hired, and there is an open-air and covered driving range, a pro shop and golf tuition. A strict golf-clothing dress code applies on the course. Changing rooms and lockers are available.

Clubhouse and getting there

The clubhouse overlooks the 1st tee and 18th green, with a bar, lounge and dining room serving home-cooked food every day, plus free parking and Wi-Fi. The club is in the village of Stockton-on-the-Forest, about four miles north-east of York.
