Ryder Cup history, three tour stars as members, and a reputation for being a bit exclusive. So why did a society of ten amateurs get treated like old friends at Lindrick Golf Club?
We took our Top 100 Society to South Yorkshire for our third society day, to a course that sits outside our UK & Ireland list but ranked 82 in the English Top 100. This is the visitor's-eye view: the welcome, the course, and whether it deserves a place on your list.
In this episode:
The 1957 Ryder Cup, the last GB&I win, and the farmer who nearly derailed it over a £150 fee for the 5th tee
Head professional Andy on what visitors get wrong about Lindrick, and why John Jacobs matters here
Why three Lindrick members (Westwood, Fitzpatrick and Willett) played together in the 2016 Ryder Cup
A club with no tee sheet for members, where clubs are waiting out for them when they turn up
The back-nine run from 12 to 18, with par threes that wouldn't look out of place at Formby
The small touches (the range-ball bag, the scorecards) and the pro-shop moment that says it all
Our verdict: at roughly £85–£150 a round, it's a serious golf course with a genuine welcome, and it's one to add to your list.
