Tree-lined and with beautiful views, Ilkley is a captivating setting. Although it?s a relatively short track it?s far from being a push-over.

Course lowdown: Many of the holes are severe doglegs because, due to the size of the trees it?s become impossible to cut the corner. The first seven holes don?t suit a hook. The 1st, at 410 yards is the toughest hole, playing straight into the prevailing wind. The river waits on the left and trees on the right.

Green fees: £45wd, £55we/bh
