The flat heathland course at York Golf Club is now lined by mature woodland, which creates clearly demarcated, demanding holes with a particular emphasis on strong driving.
From the tournament tees the course stretches to 6,301 yards; this may not be long by modern standards but there is more than enough complexity to York's layout to make it a stern test of championship golf.
