Whalley Golf Club

Whalley Golf Club sits just outside Clitheroe in Lancashire, and if you're staying at Cross Lane Caravan Park or Higher Grange Glamping nearby, it's a solid option for a round. The course itself is an 18-hole affair with proper views across the Ribble Valley - nothing flashy, but the kind of place where you get a decent game without the pretension of a championship layout.

You'll want to check their website for membership requirements and green fees, as they do operate a members-first policy during peak times. Most visitors reckon on allowing four to five hours for a full round, depending on how you play. The fairways are well-maintained and the rough can bite if you're not careful, so don't head out expecting an easy day.

For families, this is strictly a golfers' thing - kids won't find much to do while you're playing eighteen holes. But if you're the golfing type on a caravan holiday in the area, you've got the Ribble Valley's decent walking trails and Clitheroe Castle within easy reach as non-golf days out. Worth ringing ahead to sort membership or visitor rates before you arrive. The Lancashire moorland setting is pleasant enough, though it's not the kind of view that'll take your breath away.
