Join us for our York Golf Networking event at Fulford Golf Club located just one mile from the centre of the historic city of York. It’s a high-class heathland/parkland course, home to the Benson and Hedges International Open during the 1970s and 1980s. This televised tournament immediately made Fulford a household name and gave it nationwide recognition as one of the country’s best inland courses.

More about Fulford Golf Club https://www.fulfordgolfclub.co.uk

The club was founded in 1906 but it moved to its current site in 1935 after James Braid identified the land a few years earlier. Major Charles MacKenzie, the brother of the legendary Alister MacKenzie of Augusta National fame, designed the course on predominantly sandy ground. A major renovation has recently been completed by Mackenzie & Ebert.

The fairways wind their way between avenues of trees. But there’s one particular tree at Fulford that will remain a monument to Bernhard Langer for as long as it lives.

In the 1981 B&H International, Langer hit his approach shot to the 17th into the branches of a large ash tree. Amazingly, the ball remained lodged. Rather than taking a penalty drop, Langer decided to shin up the tree and play the shot from where it lay. From a precarious and unusual stance, Langer chipped out and to everyone’s astonishment, the ball landed on the green. A plaque on the same tree now commemorates Langer’s remarkable feat.

Measuring 6,779 yards from the back tees, Fulford is a serious test for the handicap golfer, but the course is too short for today’s long hitting professionals. Just ask Ian Woosnam. “Woosie” posted the All-Comers’ course record in 1985 with an amazing 62.

It is most unlikely that we’ll have the chance to score 62, but we’ll certainly enjoy Fulford. It’s a fine golf course in a beautiful part of the country and, thanks to Langer, it will always be remembered.
