Hello Summertime ...and goodbye social life. The clocks have been put forward, closing time here at IGC has gone back to around 7.30pm, new furniture has arrived for the patio, it's time to start welcoming some visitors back to the club and for us all to earn some money again after a poor start to the year. This last week of March is traditionally a good one as golfers make the most of the reduced green fees that are charged during the winter months, unlike some clubs though, we never play temporary winter tees or greens here at Ilkley Golf Club, the course is either fully open, or under water depending on the rain. It will be nice to the place full of customers again, here's hoping for lots of good weather to tempt the golfers out to play, and drink, and eat of course. Ilkley Golf Club
