About Hornsea Golf Club

On the Holderness coast of East Yorkshire, beside the largest freshwater lake in the county, Hornsea has run as a members' club since 1898, taking up its current ground a decade afterwards. Sandy Herd, Open Champion in 1902, drew the original eighteen holes; Alister Mackenzie and James Braid each altered the layout in later years, and Howard Swan was brought in during 2010 to rework and remove bunkers. Links in its design principles, the course opens with seven holes running towards a water tower that serves as a marker across that stretch. Gorse grows on the property alongside thorn shaped by exposure to the wind coming off the North Sea. Elsewhere the ground is gently undulating parkland broken by belts of trees. Practice ground lies near the eighteenth tee, with a chipping area and putting green immediately outside the clubhouse. Hornsea town sits between the mere and the sea, a Victorian resort that grew after the railway arrived, and the surrounding Holderness plain is among the flattest farmland in the north of England.

Where to find it

The address is Rolston Road, Hornsea, East Riding of Yorkshire, HU18 1XG. It is about 13 miles from Hull. That is a straight-line distance. The sidebar links to the club website and lists its phone number. The map below shows the exact spot, because that helps with satnav.

Check the club website for tee times, because visitor rules differ by club. Ask for the current green fee, since we do not list one. Pack a waterproof layer, because UK weather changes fast.
