Aldwark Manor Estate, north of York, is celebrating the re-opening of the nearby toll bridge by relaunching  golf offering following a £4.5m spend on the course and its facilities.

To mark the occasion and the end of a 25-mile detour for many guests to access the estate, half price membership amid other offers are available.

The recent investment saw nine holes being redesigned to create challenging new layouts and the introduction of several new water hazards, enhancing the course's appeal to golfers of all levels. Drainage improvements have been made, a new putting green and bunkers added, and there are ten more electric buggies to enable golfers to get around.

In addition, the new Bunkers building promises 11 bedrooms, a sports bar and restaurant featuring four large screens showing sports events year-round, a golf shop, private function room, an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven and BBQ, and large terrace facilities off the first tee.

The re-opening of the toll bridge over the River Ure between Little Ouseburn and Aldwark comes as a further £25million is being spent at the resort. This includes the launch of Chartwell, a fine dining restaurant, this spring, and the introduction of a new spa and additional bedrooms in 2025.

Christophe Gitton, Estate Director at Aldwark Manor Estate, said: “We are thrilled to finally be able to open the golf course for its first full season since the redesign and introduction of our fabulous Bunkers venue.

“The new season coinciding with the reopening of the toll bridge is fantastic news and will immediately improve access for our guests and members. The enhancements made represent our ongoing commitment to providing an exceptional experience for our guests, both golfers and non-golfers.”

"We are excited to celebrate the reopening of the bridge and welcome golfers back to experience everything Aldwark Manor Estate has to offer," Christophe continued.
