Lindrick Golf Club, Golf club and protected natural site in South Yorkshire, United Kingdom.
Lindrick Golf Club is an 18-hole course laid across heathland and moorland that sits on both sides of the A57 highway. Two tunnels connect the two halves of the course, allowing safe passages between the different groups of holes.
The club was founded in 1891 as Sheffield and District Golf Club and received its current name in 1934. In 1957 it hosted the Ryder Cup, one of golf's major competitions.
The club takes its name from the nearby Lindrick Moor, and many golfers appreciate how the sport sits within the natural landscape here.
The layout is divided into two sections, and clear signage helps you find the tunnels and navigate between holes. Ground conditions can vary with the season, so appropriate footwear is helpful.
The site is protected as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and contains one of the region's largest limestone grassland areas. This protection shows how golf and nature conservation coexist here.
