Ganton Golf Club

Distance from Scarborough was eleven miles by road, but development was more influenced by the North Eastern Railway Line with Ganton Halt being mile from the Clubhouse. The proximity of a railway was often a factor in the development of golf courses in the nineteenth Century, particularly so in Ganton's case as the membership extended to those living in the West Riding of Yorkshire. Ganton was soon created as a course where history was to be made.
