KP Club

You'll find KP Club sitting in the Yorkshire countryside between York and the rolling Wolds - a proper golf course that takes itself seriously without being pretentious about it. The layout winds through farmland with enough character to keep you honest, though it's not one of those championship tracks that'll destroy your score before you've reached the turn.

It's really a golfers' course, straightforward as that. If you're staying at one of the glamping spots nearby - Wolds Glamping Pods is barely two miles away, or Yapham Holds is just under three - it's a decent way to spend a morning or early afternoon without venturing into York. The walk between holes is manageable, the greens roll nicely, and there's enough rough to punish a wayward shot without making you want to throw your clubs.

Non-golfers might struggle to find their entertainment here, mind you. This isn't a family attraction with activities for the kids or views that'll stop you in your tracks. It's honest work on a par-72 layout where you can test your swing against a fairly forgiving course. Membership or visitor fees apply - you'll want to ring ahead before turning up - and allow a good four hours for a full round.

If golf's your thing and you're based in one of the nearby glamping pods or planning a Yorkshire break around York, it's worth booking a round. Otherwise, you're better off exploring the city itself or the better-known courses in the region.
