Bingley St Ives
Located within the wonderful wooded St Ives Estate, a 550-acre Country Park on the edge of Bingley, the course at Bingley St Ives dates back to 1931, when an initial 9-hole layout was fashioned.
The fairways of the modern day 18-hole layout are routed across a number of different landforms, taking golfers on a journey from parkland to woodland to moorland and back again.
Many regard the short par four 15th as one of the best holes on the card but don’t overlook the closing hole, a testing par three where many a golfer has come to grief within sight of the clubhouse.
The course hosted the first three editions of the Lawrence Batley International – a European Tour event that was held in the early 1980s – and Sandy Lyle claimed the first two titles before Nick Faldo won the 1983 competition.
