Established in 1914, Thirsk & Northallerton began life as a nine-hole social golf course on 48 acres of land on the Calvis Hall Estate, just north of Thirsk. During the Second World War, the land used by Northallerton Golf Club, alongside the railway line at Wiske Moor, was returned to agricultural use to support the war effort. The Northallerton members were invited to join with Thirsk and the amalgamation formed the Thirsk & Northallerton Golf Club. The gesture confirmed the club’s reputation as one of the most friendly and accommodating in the area – a reputation it established in 1923 when it became one of the first courses in the region to allow lady members to serve on its general committee.
Since that time the club has been progressively developed and improved and in 1995 some further land was purchased in order to develop another nine-holes. The 18 hole course, with views of the surrounding Hambleton Hills to the East and the Yorkshire Dales to the West, opened in 1997.
