Oakdale Golf Club

Oakdale Golf Club enjoys an enviable position right in the heart of Harrogate, set amidst tranquil and picturesque surroundings. It’s the only 18-hole golf course lying within the town boundaries yet is famed for its rural atmosphere and peaceful position, free from traffic noise.

We have members of all ages and from all walks of life and are always delighted to welcome new members to the club.

The Friendly Golf Club

Oakdale is known locally for its friendly atmosphere. Members enjoy a thriving social scene with a welcoming clubhouse where you can enjoy a drink or meal while admiring wonderful panoramic views across the course and surrounding countryside. Regular competitions ensure there’s always plenty going on and during the quieter winter months, the clubhouse hosts regular quiz nights and other social events.

Our History 

In 1914, the legendary golf course architect Dr Alister MacKenzie provided a lay-out for a 9-hole course for immediate play while continuing to develop the 18-hole course. The course was opened on 1st August that same year. Dr MacKenzie has since become a legend in golf course design the world over. His designs famously include Royal Melbourne, Cypress Point and Augusta National, home of The Masters.

At Oakdale there have been modifications to MacKenzie’s design over the years as the town has expanded but the essence of his original principles has been preserved.

While we’re a modern and relaxed club, we believe that heritage is important and celebrate our long-held traditions. Visit the club and you’ll find evidence of our rich history on display, such as the competition honours boards which can be admired from inside the clubhouse.
