About Rudding Park
Nestled in 300 acres of landscaped garden and woodland is this family owned Rudding Park, a luxury golf and spa resort in Harrogate. Here you can play on the 18-hole Hawtree course, before unwinding in the incredible spa facilities!
Golf courses
The 18-hole Hawtree Course was designed by renowned Open Championship golf course architect Martin Hawtree. He has crafted a par 72 challenge which is surrounded by 18th century parkland.
The signature hole at Rudding Park is the Hawtree's 14th - an uphill 163 yard par 3, named Rhododendron Glade because of the colours it shows in late spring. It's protected by three bunkers to the front, and another sneakily hidden from sight to the right of the green. Playing uphill into the wind with an undulating green poses a challenger whatever your handicap!
The 6-hole Repton Short Course is a fun alternative or an ideal warm up before playing the Hawtree course. This is a par-18 but it's the 5th hole that really stands out as it replicates the world-famous 17th at Sawgrass with the same 137 yards to the pin that's located on an island green. You can even experience night golf here as they line it with LED lighting!

There are a range of options for accommodation at Rudding Park.
