How to Get Tee Times in Yorkshire
Yorkshire holds the strongest set of inland courses in England, and all of them genuinely want your visit. Ganton sells round rates at 235 pounds with a WHS index required, Alwoodley and Moortown sit half a mile apart on the Leeds sand belt with online booking and stay and play deals, and Fulford takes visitors six days a week. Here is each club's route in, what 2026 actually costs, and how to sequence the county.

The short answer
Fix Ganton first. The county's one world top 100 course requires every player to hold a WHS Handicap Index, reserves its standard 235 pound round rate for members of GB&I golf unions, and sells its best windows, Monday to Friday and Sundays from 11am, months ahead in summer. Book through the Secretary's office on 01944 710329 or the club's BRS system, and consider the Dormy House behind the clubhouse, which turns the long drive to Scarborough into a proper overnight.
The Leeds pair could hardly be easier by comparison. Alwoodley sells visitor times through an online portal with published 2026 rates from 120 pounds in March to 230 at peak, and Moortown, half a mile down the road, books online or on 0113 268 6521 with tee times available throughout the week. Fulford, the famous old tournament venue at York, publishes the gentlest prices of the four and takes visitors every day except Saturday.

Sequencing the Yorkshire week
The Leeds sand belt first
Alwoodley and Moortown sit on the same heathland ridge north of Leeds, close enough to walk between, and their histories are intertwined: Alister MacKenzie's first design at one, the 1929 Ryder Cup at the other. They pair naturally on consecutive mornings, and the clubs make the logistics trivial with a joint stay and play package from 339 pounds that covers a Sunday afternoon round, a hotel night with breakfast and the second course on Monday morning. Our Ganton vs Alwoodley comparison settles which of the county's two heavyweights deserves the marquee slot if you can only play one.
Then east to Ganton and York
Ganton sits in the Vale of Pickering, about an hour and a quarter from Leeds and ten minutes from the coast at Scarborough, so it works best as the centerpiece of the second day with a night in the club's own Dormy House or in York. Alwoodley also sells a combined package with Ganton from 419 pounds, playing Alwoodley on Friday and Ganton on Saturday with a night in between. Fulford, on the southern edge of York, is the natural buffer round: the old European Tour venue where Bernhard Langer famously played from a tree, at 160 pounds in high summer and far less either side.
Booking rhythm and the money windows
Summer Saturdays barely exist for visitors at the members' clubs, so build the week Monday to Friday and treat Sunday as the bonus day: Ganton from 11am, Moortown's limited weekend slots, Fulford as normal. County card holders do exceptionally well in Yorkshire, with 180 pounds at Ganton, midweek afternoon access at Moortown and 20 percent off at Fulford. The full county picture, including the clubs beyond the big four, is in our guide to how to play golf in Yorkshire, and the fee math lives in the Yorkshire green fee guide.

Yorkshire tee time questions
