Frequently Asked Questions

I'm looking for golf in North Yorkshire on GolfPlnr, but I don't see any courses. Why is that?

You've hit on a key point - North Yorkshire itself isn't currently a golf destination we feature. We list it because it's a truly spectacular region, often a base for golfers exploring nearby areas like Cumbria or the North East. Think of it as your perfect spot for non-golf days, offering stunning landscapes and rich history.

If I'm staying in North Yorkshire, where can I find the closest quality golf courses?

While North Yorkshire itself doesn't host our featured courses, you're within easy reach of some excellent options. We recommend heading west into Cumbria for its dramatic Lakeland courses, or east towards the coast in County Durham for a different links experience. Plan for a scenic drive, as the journey through these beautiful regions is part of the fun.

What are the best things to do in North Yorkshire if golf isn't on the itinerary?

North Yorkshire truly shines with its natural beauty and historic charm, making it ideal for days away from the course. You absolutely must explore the North York Moors National Park for incredible hiking and views, or immerse yourself in the ancient city of York, rich with Roman and Viking history. Don't miss the dramatic coastline around Whitby for a taste of maritime heritage and gothic tales.

What's the best time of year to visit North Yorkshire for general sightseeing and activities?

We find late spring (May-June) and early autumn (September-October) offer the most pleasant experience for exploring North Yorkshire. You'll enjoy milder weather and fewer crowds than the peak summer months, with the landscapes particularly vibrant - from spring blooms to autumn colours. Always pack layers, as England's weather loves to keep you on your toes.

What should I know about travel and costs for a non-golf trip to North Yorkshire?

Getting to North Yorkshire is straightforward, with excellent train links to York, but a car is essential for truly exploring the wider region's beauty. Accommodation ranges from cozy B&Bs to luxurious country estates, so you can easily match your budget, though prices are generally moderate outside of peak season. You'll find everything from traditional pub grub to fine dining, ensuring your taste buds are as happy as your wallet.
