The Best Golf Courses in Arthington, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom (2025)

My son, my sister in law and I would just like to thank Dave the manager at Northcliffe golf club and his fantastic team Vicky and Verity for looking after us so well after the recent passing of my husband. We held the funeral tea there and Dave, Vicky and Verity couldn’t do enough to support us which we all found very comforting. The venue was beautiful and the food outstanding. There was plenty of parking to accommodate our family and friends. Thank you all so much. Julie, Matthew and Cath xxx

Going to Northcliffe Pro Shop is a brilliant experience - Matt is attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. We talked about what I was looking for and he gave me helpful advice, and let me test different clubs, without any pressure. It felt like a really personal experience and I could tell he genuinely wanted to make sure I found the right fit. The shop itself has a great selection, with plenty of offers, and a welcoming atmosphere. It’s the perfect place if you're in the market for golf gear either for yourself or as a gift for a loved one. I highly recommend stopping by and asking for Matt. You won’t be disappointed!

Great setting, beautiful course, very well laid out and challenging. Challenging opening hole and one of the best finishing holes I've played. The 18th is quite special. We'll done to your grounds staff to present such a lovely course. Staff very friendly, and members are also helpful and friendly. Bar food quality is excellent. I would have given 5 stars, but for.... we played on beautiful sunny Saturday afternoon, our Tee was after their members competition, we were nearly finished when we met a four ball and one member was dresses in 3/4 length trousers, round neck leasure T-shirt and to top it all Open toe sandals, no socks....... unbelievable. What's that about? It's totally disrespectful. I've played in hotter condition and hotter countries and have never seen a player dress like that before

Matt is a very pleasant person to deal with and always ready to help you out and make sure you get what suits you and will go back again.

We all had an excellent day and are hopefully playing our Seniors competition here next year 🤞. Everything was spot on from our bacon sandwich and tea and coffee on arrival. The condition of all the course, tees, fairways and greens. The friendly service from the staff. The foid afterwards was excellent The thing we struggle with most was getting to grips with the difficulties of the greens 😫. They were in excellent condition but very challenging 😅. Lovely day thank you 😊

I played here today with a view to joining for me and my lad. I was told before hand that the greens had been ninja tined by the lady in the shop I already knew, but it’s lovely that they cared to inform me. There was young member looked to be playing on his own so I asked if he fancied a game and politely joined me which was great, he guided me around and told me about the club. Overall very friendly welcome, practice area and range looked great. Course was in super condition, I’m super picky and I couldn’t find anything to complain about, greens are receptive but not soft or spongy, around the greens was as you’d expect, revetted bunkers were hard but looked absolutely mint with the turf layering. Tee boxes were all flat and tidy with tee bins and divot mix. The course was quiet although there were people playing I didn’t see much of anyone, we played a good pace around 4hrs no one chasing us down and no one playing slow infront. And the weather was superb. I would highly recommend also I received a very good price with a county card.

Lovely golf course some tricky holes, kept in immaculate condition looks really nice, The greens have plenty of slope and are smooth and fast. As slick as you'll find at 3 times the price.

Such a great day out as always. Only played 9 holes all par 4 and 3. The course is such a lovely course with inviting and forgiving fairways. The greens are harder during dryer weather but still slightly challenging in the wet conditions. Pricing is fair too. The staff here are soo friendly and very helpful. And the golf shop here is reasonably priced.

Had a great day on the Underpin charity day. Shipley golf course was in fantastic condition. Staff, food atmosphere amazing.

Lovely club very welcoming by Staff and Members. Great golf and a lovely meal afterwards. Our society (Black Sheep) have been coming to Shipley for the last few years and have never been disappointed. Thank you.

I have just had my mums funeral celebration at Shipley Golf Club. I could not have chosen a better place. Massive thankyou to Alice who was so supportive every step of the way. Food beautiful and all staff on the day lovely. Thank you so much

The best golf course in the area, and one of the best in Yorkshire. A beautiful hidden gem, with a great variety of holes, and true greens. Perfect for golfers of all abilities and ages.

Fun and interesting golf course, in a peaceful location and fairly priced. Mature, tree-lined, undulating fairways and interesting shapes all over the course. I've played it a couple of times and would gladly go back.

I've played plenty of golf courses over the years and came back here. Good course, well maintained, true greens, most of the time, very friendly bar and members. The first 6 holes are a challenge so get through those and then enjoy the rest. They have done a lot of work in recent years on drainage so worth considering through the winter when other clubs are unplayable. The day rate guest fees are too low and don't reflect the quality of the course in my opinion.

My first round at this course and very impressed. It's an interesting course with plenty of features and undulations. It's also a course that tempts you to regularly hit a driver off the tee. Thumbs up

Fabulous course played recently on an exchange from Bingley St Ives Rabbits. Great club house & very friendly members who made our party very welcome.

Played in a recent event. Great condition, superb greens. A little exposed when the wind blows but a great golfing challenge. Good club house and practice chipping area. Plenty of parking also. Highly recommended.

Course was in great condition for the seniors' open. Very true greens, if a little quick, no complaints. A very warm welcome in the clubhouse too.

A course of two halves. The course starts on the old part, with a mature feel, clever routing, and interesting topology. But after 4 or 5 holes you cross the road into a newer field where the routing is straight back and forth, and the feel is much lower quality. It doesn't help as well that it's overshadowed by a huge landfill site with diggers running all day long right up against the course. Eventually back over the road for the last 5 or 6 holes which are very strong again. Headingley pitches itself as a £100 green fee. It's an ok course, but sadly the new holes, and the landfill let it down. There are better options nearby for £100, and for half that.

An absolute gem of a course. Greens are incredible, it was a pleasure to play and one I will be both dreading and excited to play again, next time hopefully the wind stays at bay

The course was in excellent condition despite the weather and the food after the round was excellent

I can only speak for the restaurant as I am no golfer. Hearty food at a reasonable price. Friendly service, and a good Sunday lunch menu. Quite casual attire can be worn, as you do not need to be a member. Car park gets very busy at times, so you may have to park on the driveway. Also, parking can be quite tight for larger cars. A great asset for Leeds City Council.

First time at the course today and I was very impressed. Amazing fairways and a very very well kept course. Clean club house and very friendly staff. Top marks all round

Came with my society and really enjoyed it. Course played really well considering the amount of rain we have had. Greens were true and quick! Only negative is there was no catering at the time. Well worth a visit though. Will be bringing the society back in future.

Great challenging course but how many bunkers are there on it 😗

Looking very good indeed. The course was in good condition and playing well. Changes in the clubhouse are fantastic too. Thanks for having me today..👌🏻👍😃⛳️⛳️

Sheer class! Great course in great condition. Friendly staff and members made us feel very welcome

Played a practice round and tournament round. A historic course with classical holes. Well balanced 9's with sensible elevation changes.

Always lovely, nice staff and family feeling.. Has been for years.. Snooker room is cosy! Good tables, beautiful views.. And the golf's good too 😉

Very nice course, to say it had rained previous it wasn't boggy at all, the pro Dean was very welcoming, will definitely be back!

We have been lucky enough to have a few Sunday lunches out over the last few months but I have to say today’s was brilliant. We love food and have eaten in lots of restaurants, Luca’s homemade pate was delicious, the beef and gammon melted in your mouth , the veg was really well cooked and the pudding was massive (we shared lol) and scrummy! Lovely atmosphere, amazing value (3 course less than £20) and attentive staff x great Sunday lunch we will be back.

I recently celebrated my birthday at the club and the experience was fantastic from the initial booking to the organisation and the actual event itself. I wanted specific food for my guests and they weren’t disappointed! Everyone loved the event and commented on how great the venue was. The bar staff we also super. Can’t recommend the golf club for events highly enough. Thanks to everyone for a memorable stress free experience

Family members who are keen golfers have been members here a long time and we have spent many a good night of entertainment here too.

For autumnal golf this place is great. A little wet in places but the natural undulations of the course help naturally get rid of that water under foot feeling you get at most clubs in the North of England. Amenities are strong, with beautiful clubhouse, pro shop & practise area from chipping to putting. Staff are very friendly and very accommodating, can’t wait to go back!

Attended for a 70th birthday with ~30 people, had a delicious 3 course dinner of arancini, chicken with vegetables and sticky toffee pudding. All were delicious. Red and white wine on table also very high qualitg. Private room with view out over course. Big car park. Nice atmosphere and attentive staff. Really enjoyed it and would recommend for a special occasion large group booking. Golf course looked good, which I hope to come back and play

I mean I love this place I’m a new member and I can’t believe how nice it is and the driving range is free I absolutely love this place update y’all one of my family members had a slight car crash and without hesitation one of the staff got out and helped her calm down checked she was okay and then came back later before my parents arrived and helped her again and guess what it wasn’t even near the golf club and he didn’t know I was related to the person and he still helped

Very well kept course and a real challenge. The greens were quick and you need to be an expert putter to score low. Club house is a mix of traditional and modern with a lovely patio to enjoy the views over the valley. Will return as thoroughly enjoyed the round.
