A truly memorable round of golf
The natural contours of the North Yorkshire landscape provide the
perfect setting for Romanby's championship standard golf course.
Attractive lakes and the River Wiske present challenging water
hazards as well as providing homes for a variety of water fowl,
including ducks, coots and migrant swans which make regular visits
to Romanby.
The Romanby course was designed by Will Adamson, with greens
constructed to USGA specification and large teeing areas around
400 square metres in size. The course is not overly long,
measuring 6,663 yards from the back tees and 6,405 from the yellow
tees (ladies 5,635 yards), and provides a challenging but fair
test for all categories of golfer.
Each hole has a character of its own and contributes to a varied
and truly memorable round of golf. However, players should beware
of the false sense of security which the gentle early holes can
produce. The test of skill heightens as you approach Romanby's own
Amen Corner - a trio of challenging holes consisting of the par 3
eleventh over the lake, hole twelve, possibly one of the longest
par 5's you'll ever play, and the par 4 thirteenth, ranked stroke
index 1.
The tranquil parkland setting then takes over to calm you into the
final stages and the highest point on the course is reached on the
fifteenth green. The eighteenth fairway is bisected at around 230
yards by the River Wiske, leaving you faced with a critical
decision: play long, or play safe. On completion of your round, a
warm welcome awaits you in Romanby's popular Clubhouse.
