The Three Peaks

The mountains of Whernside , Ingleborough and Pen-y-ghent are collectively known as the (Yorkshire) Three Peaks. The peaks, which form part of the Pennine range, encircle the heads of the valleys of the River Ribble and of Chapel-le-Dale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park in the North of England.

The area is rich in historical interest. The summit of Ingleborough has the remains of a huge Iron Age hill fort, while the Settle-Carlisle Railway runs between the mountains, crossing Ribblehead Viaduct at the foot of Whernside.

Here at Bentham Golf Club, we offer a beautiful 18-hole golf course, situated in the Lake District. On site, we have the clubhouse which overlooks the 18th green. After a long round, there is nothing better than relaxing in our bar, which provides drinks, snacks and a place to rest.

The course has been described as the Augusta of The Dales because it looks so attractive and it features seven ponds. The signature hole is the 8th, a par 3, where you look down from an elevated tee to an inviting green which lies tantalisingly on the other side of a pond.
