Allerthorpe Park Golf Club

Allerthorpe Park Golf Club is a pay-and-play parkland course in the East Riding of Yorkshire, close to the market town of Pocklington. The layout is built around a lake, with fairways that roll gently across the site rather than presenting any significant changes in elevation, giving the course an easy-walking character throughout. Being pay-and-play rather than a private members' club, the course is open to golfers without the need for a membership, making it accessible to casual players as well as anyone visiting the area who wants to fit in a round without prior arrangement. The presence of water across the site, in the form of the central lake, brings an additional element into play on a number of holes, adding to the variety of a course that would otherwise be a straightforward parkland layout. Pocklington itself is a small market town in the East Riding, sitting between York and the Yorkshire Wolds, and the golf club's position near the town places it within reach of both the city and the more rural landscape further east. For golfers in this part of Yorkshire, Allerthorpe Park offers a relatively low-commitment option: an accessible course built around its lake and gently rolling ground, open to all without the barrier of club membership.
