Thirsk & Northallerton Golf Club

What Thirsk & Northallerton Golf Club does

Thirsk & Northallerton Golf Club is a privately operated members' golf club founded in 1914 in Thornton-le-Street, North Yorkshire, England. The club operates an 18-hole parkland course (extended from 9 holes in 1997), measuring approximately 6,546 yards from the white tees at par 72, with views of the Hambleton Hills and Wensleydale. It serves a community of more than 480 active members organised into dedicated sections for Men's, Ladies', Seniors (EGGS, age 55+), higher-handicap golfers (Rabbits), and Juniors, alongside visiting golfers, societies, and corporate groups.

The club generates revenue through a diversified mix of streams: tiered annual memberships (from £85 for under-12 juniors to £1,074 for standard adults, with reduced rates for students, armed forces, country and 2nd-club members), visitor green fees (£10–£60 depending on season and day), pre-packaged society and corporate offerings (Birdie £45, Eagle £55, Albatross £65), open competition entry fees, clubhouse catering and bar sales, function room hire, and buggy hire. Coaching, custom fitting, and equipment retail are delivered through an embedded concession run by PGA professionals at LG Golf, which operates the on-site pro-shop equipped with a Trackman 4 launch monitor and virtual swing studio.

Distribution and operations are supported by third-party technology platforms: BRS Golf for tee-time and competition booking, Club V1 for the member hub and mobile app, HowDidiDo.com for member services, and Club Systems International for the website. The club is affiliated with England Golf, the Yorkshire Union of Golf Clubs, the Yorkshire Ladies County Golf Association, and the Harrogate & District Union of Golf Clubs, and holds reciprocal playing agreements with six partner clubs. Governance is handled by an elected Management Committee led by a Club Chairman, with a Golf Club Manager overseeing daily operations. The club is an R&A Women in Golf Charter signatory and Safe Golf accredited.
