Brough Golf Club

The course sits right on the edge of Brough, a proper traditional layout that's been going since 1890. Eighteen holes of genuine Yorkshire grit - nothing fancy, just good honest golf with the Humber estuary never far from your thoughts.

It's a members' club, so you'll need to arrange a game in advance through their website rather than just rolling up. That's the trade-off for playing somewhere this established. The course itself is straightforward enough - parkland style, nothing that'll humiliate you, but enough length and character to keep experienced players engaged. Wind can be a factor, especially given the location near water, which adds a bit of spice to an otherwise welcoming round.

Golfers will get the most from it, obviously. If you're staying at Willow Pond Caravan Site just down the road or one of the other parks nearby - Little Wold Away Glamping or William's Den - it's genuinely convenient. You can knock off a game without venturing far from your pitch. Allow a good four hours minimum, plus time for the clubhouse before or after.

Worth ringing ahead to check visitor arrangements and green fees, which aren't published online. It's the kind of place that values proper protocol over casual drop-ins. For golfers wanting to base themselves in East Yorkshire, it deserves serious consideration - well-maintained, unpretentious, and genuinely local.
