History
Report
The game of golf first came into play in the Bentham area in 1922, when a group of local gentlemen played 5 holes at Park Foot between Bentham and Ingleton. These pioneers moved the club to its present site at Bentham Moor later that same year and Bentham Golf Club was established.
In 1925, that same band of sporting gentlemen, together with a number of other men and some of the fairer sex, purchased 1 shares and created Bentham Golf Club Limited.The greater part of the land was purchased outright, with only the field for the first and ninth holes being rented. A green-keeper was employed, who doubled as a club maker and who would nowadays be classed as the 'professional'.

Holes 1-6
Report
A fine opening challenge. From an elevated tee the fairway stretches out invitingly and the practice ground to the right offers a safe haven for an initial sliced drive. The only problems are provided by trees: a small copse to the right and a line of trees to the left. Two bunkers lie in wait, one at each side of the long green.
