Yellow courgettes

 Can anyone recommend a “tasty” golden/yellow courgette? I’ll be training them to grow up an obelisk

'Shooting Star' looks interesting ... I've not tried it, but I might well consider it this year ... if I can find room ... https://www.premierseedsdirect.com/product/courgette-climbing-shooting-star-yellowgolden/

Thank you! Yes I saw this variety too so will give them a try

I only grow bush yellow courgettes to keep them within bounds and they seem to crop  more heavily than the green varieties.

I grow Easy Pick Gold F1 - usually in large containers.  Reliable and prolific in most summers. 
Used to grow another variety when the yellows first became available in the mid/late 90's.  Can't recall the name of that one but no longer in production.  
Haven't tried other varieties as I also grow the green ones.

Thank you both!

We have never noticed any taste difference between the green and the yellow, and we have been growing both for years. We grow them as they add a splash of colour to food. 

The yellow ones we have tried, are Soleil and Parador

Agree in that any Courgette doesn't really have a "flavour" as such - it's more how you use them and with what.

Thank you - some reviews say yellow courgettes taste much milder so I’m glad to hear they are same as green varieties

The main advantage of yellow ones for me is that it's a lot easier to spot the fruit and pick them small before they become zeppelins.

We find that the yellow ones have a softer skin than the green.
