About OGC

Established in 1914 and designed by Dr Alister MacKenzie of Leeds, Oakdale offers an opportunity to savour a unique mix of moorland and parkland golf and is acknowledged as one of the premier golf clubs in Northern England.

Oakdale Golf Club is situated in the historic Spa town of Harrogate, North Yorkshire. Harrogate is famous for its Spa Baths where the Spa water can still be tasted at The Royal Pump Rooms in the town centre. The Turkish Baths has recently undergone a major refurbishment programme. Harrogate has a well known and thriving Conference and Exhibition Centre, hosting such prestigious events as The Gift Fair, The Toy Fair, The Liberal Democrats Spring Conference and the BIGGA Green Keepers Association Annual Exhibition and Conference.

Harrogate is the home of the famous Taylor’s Tea, Betty’s Coffee Shop, and Farrah’s Toffee. It is known as one of the gateways to the Yorkshire Dales and is a wonderful and popular base from which to explore local places of interest such as Ilkley Moor, Pateley Bridge, The Vale of York and other historic towns and cities.

The town has an abundance of first class hotels and guest houses, many of which are close to the golf course and include the famous Old Swan Hotel where Agatha Christie sampled the hospitality. Also close at hand is a great mixture of wonderful shopping, from high street names to the smaller independents.

Oakdale, known locally for its friendly and welcoming atmosphere has a par of 71 and is 6484 yards for gentlemen and 5513 yards for ladies with a par of 72. Its main feature is the local Oak Beck which meanders alongside the tenth fairway and in front of the ninth and eighteenth greens thus ensuring a high level of concentration when playing approaches and tee shots.
