Par 68s have a reputation for being forgettable filler, but courses built around water features in the East Riding of Yorkshire tend to demand a sharper kind of attention. Skidby Lakes sits just outside Cottingham, a prosperous village on the northwestern edge of Hull, in a part of England where the land is flat, the skies are wide, and wind off the North Sea can quietly rearrange your scorecard before you've noticed it arriving.
The lakes in the name are not decorative. Water that comes into play repeatedly on a shorter course tightens the margins in ways that raw yardage never could, and the premium here falls squarely on placement and patience rather than power. That combination — accessible length, genuine penalty for carelessness — makes this kind of layout popular with a wide range of players, from beginners building confidence to single-figure handicappers who know better than to underestimate a track just because the par is modest.
Cottingham itself is well-served for golf, sitting within easy reach of a handful of established East Yorkshire clubs. Skidby Lakes fits comfortably into that local scene as a course that rewards regular visitors willing to learn its rhythms.
