Pontefract & District Golf Club

Golf has been played here since 1904, when a 9-hole course was first laid out on parkland; the course was extended to 18 holes in the early 1930s to a design by Dr Alister MacKenzie. This par-72, 6,520-yard course close to Pontefract town centre underwent a major re-routing in the late 1990s, adding newly purchased land to the opening holes.
