Played here on 07/01 and despite the weather we had you would think we were in spring the course was in such good condition. One of the best courses i have played. From ringing up to booking it and turning up to see Alex in the pro shop when we arrived the whole experience was incredible Cant wait to go back

In the context of the weather this year, the greens are so good, almost like velvet. The rough this year has grown so heavily the staff should be commended for their efforts in keeping it under control. Richard Brooker. Member

First time at Huddersfield Golf Club and was really impressed. Course built within the grounds of Fixby Hall, which doubles as clubhouse and events venue. Elevation changes on every hole makes it pretty dramatic. Views of Huddersfield and surrounding area when you get onto the 11th tee. Course had been closed previous day due to rain, but there was no evidence of that apart from the greens were running a little slow. Some monster par 4s, including the 1st at 465 yards off the yellows tees. Plenty of bunkering and undulating greens make it a real, but enjoyable challenge.

Had an excellent day today at Bingley St Ives. Seniors Open Day. Great service from the Bar/Restaurant. Good food reasonably priced. The course was in really good condition. Lots of work being done on the paths etc. A Massive project removing diseased rhododendrons and trees 😫. This does not effect your game just some GUR and drop zones to be aware of. Spotters on the course helping to find golf balls. Ladies with refreshments at the half way house 😊. Well done for holding such a well organised and professional Seniors day 👏

Beautiful estate with a lovely walking trail and a cute little pond with ducks and swans, very scenic. There is a small park too with some swings and slides and a small zip wire which was fun.

Great golf course. Some stunning holes. Very picturesque. Challenging but great fun. Will certainly be back. Staff in the Club House were extremely friendly & did everything they could to make our Charity Golf Day go really well.

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!

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

This is a great golf course. The professional, Paul, is a great teacher and is well worth a few half hour lessons. The 19th hole is not bad either!!

My first ever visit to this place in all the time I have lived in brighouse & my it didn’t disappoint the room that we were having are meal in plus entertainment was very open with stunning views of Yorkshire s finest greenery . We arrived a bit early but had a loverly chap called Richard have a chat to myself plus my parents explaining the history of the golf club which was a brilliant insight to the evening before we sat down to have are 3 course meal . The food to my taste was amazing it was just cooked right from starters to desert the staff were very warm n helpful to every in the room it s a very unique experience to have a golf club in the centre of a town or just not far from the main area but this place from the large car park great facilities plus very interesting history I would highly recommend plus I am not a golf fan but we also got a cracking view of the fair way with the green just yards away which was just so beautiful . I hope to call back next year or before thank you for the club’s professionalism plus high standards

Not played the course yet but looking forward to playing it but the staff are excellent I go to the driving range to practice but staff are so kind and driving range is like brand new

Fantastic layout in great condition. There are lots of interesting holes that provide a good challenge for all levels of golfers. The greens were best the best we have played this year and we have been to some prestigious courses. It is also set within the grounds of a nature reserve with great views on many holes. Great practice facilities to warm up including a covered driving range and the halfway house was open on Wednesday when we played. Great value at £40 for a top quality round of golf.

This is a fantastic course that is available at a great place for it's quality. I genuinely think it's offering the sort of golf course for a normal price that others around Yorkshire are charging double. It's a great course layout, really enjoyable challenge and nicely set around the lake. It's got a great driving range to warm up on too.

A friendly club with a good professional check out Darren Arber Golf on YouTube.

Just joined a couple of months ago as a new member and I love it, best choice of a golf club I ever made. The professional Darren is very helpful and his shop is always full of quality golf gear like bags, clubs, club grips and golf balls. The green's are great 😃. It is relatively quiet during the day (wednesday is easily the quietest day) and Saturday's are usually the busiest. And people are very friendly. Overall I would definitely recommend becoming a member at West End Golf Club 👍.

Such a fantastic place to play. The course is a challenge, booking is effortless, food and drink/bar is just what is wanted after a round. Above all the people are amiable and can't do enough for you.

My first ever golf lesson was BRILLIANT! Darren left no stone unturned when helping to improve my golf swing. Within just a couple of swings Darren was able to point out the main reason for my consistent fade of the ball. Over the next hour using video analysis and his own visual observations he explained scientifically how I could achieve my desired results. I must add that at no time did I feel that there was information overload as he checked my understanding at every step of the way and pitched the information at a level that he knew I could understand. I am very much looking forward to transferring my knowledge and confidence to the course this week. I will be touching base with Darren again soon as he is very approachable and keen to help me on my golf journey. Thanks Darren ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very very good. Course layout is fun but fair, greens were true and the course condition was immaculate. At £31 it’s possibly the best value round of golf I’ve ever had. Superb, will be back!

Really enjoyable moorland course. Holes 3 to 6 are tough lay up tee shots, especially if you haven't played here before as the fairways are split into sections with streams and gullies running across them... be patient and plot your way through these holes with irons, hybrids or woods from the tee as you can open your shoulders up with driver on the back 9. Some great views especially from the 17th tee box.

At Willow Valley Golf Club there are 3 golf courses, a driving range, a moderately sized practice putting area and a short game area. The driving range isn't the smartest ive seen but it is functional and is a welcome practice and/or warm up facility. The other practice facilities are great and well maintained. There are also teaching professionals who offer both individual and (very reasonably priced) group tuition. I have had some coaching from Joe at WVGC and I can highly recommend his services. I have played all three courses many times and they offer a good variety of challenge. 1) Fountain Ridge: This is the 9 hole course. It comprises of 6 Par 3 holes and 3 par 4s. All of the holes are relatively short but there is a nice bit of variety for such a small course (2 dogleg holes - one left and one right, some slight elevation changes and a few well placed bunkers). The course is very beginner friendly but is also good fun for golfers of all abilities; I sometimes play the 9 hole course if I'm short on time but still want to have a knock around. Be aware; it is a popular course and being so beginner friendly means you may well encounter players of a poorer standard or very young players etc. However everyone has to start somewhere (and this is a great place to do just that) so as long as you accept that on busy days you might be waiting a little, there should be no issue. 2) Pine Valley: The first of two 18 hole courses. This I would say is a good step up from the fountain ridge course, providing longer holes and more of a "full" golfing experience, but is still beginner friendly. With a slope rating of 97 this course is very forgiving. Most greens are open on approach and not heavily guarded by bunkers etc. The bunkers there are though, are well placed in areas, and at distances that are fitting for the beginner - intermediate golfer. Better golfers will not find a great challenge here but will still find a fun and enjoyable round of golf. I like to play Pine when I just want a relaxing round. I will say that the Pine course is very popular and can start to suffer from heavy use as the season goes on; tee boxes can be particularly worn at times, though it would be tough to keep up with so much traffic. My only real issue with Pine is that there are a lot of casual golfers who either don't know or don't care about the rules and etiquette of golf, meaning on occasion you can be stuck being groups who ignore much faster groups (or individual players) and insist on hacking their way slowly around the course as you stand on the tee tearing your hair out. I appreciate everyone is playing as well as they are able, it's just that there are rules in place specifically to tackle this issue. Failure to repair pitchmarks also seems to be a popular characteristic of some of the less golf-savvy clientele. 3) Willow Valley: the "Championship Course". This full 18 hole course provides a good challenge for any player. With a slope rating of between 129 and 137 (depending on tee box) it is a great test. There is a lot of water on this course, some tight fairways and an interesting variety of holes in terms of shape, elevation, length and hazards. Simply hitting driver on every hole is likely to get you into trouble and thinking your way around the course is advisable. I have been reliably informed the club actually removed a number of bunkers from the course a few years ago as it was felt to be too challenging! During the season this course is well maintained, the greens are typically quick and roll beautifully and I would recommend a round here to anyone who is serious about their game. I will add that, out of season, all three of the courses can get VERY wet and boggy in places - I have lost balls in the centre of the fairways at times due to balls plugging so deeply. However, there is a refund policy clearly displayed and the course is regularly inspected and will be closed if conditions get too bad. All in all Willow Valley Golf is a great club with a wide range of facilities and options for all abilities.

Unbelievable golf course. In amazing condition after the weather turned. Also, how on earth can you get a green fee for 22.50 here. I've paid triple that at some places than don't get anywhere close to this. A must play.

Amazing! My first experience golfing with a friend and it couldn’t have gone any better. The location is absolutely perfect with lots of well looked after fields and very friendly golfers. Everything is well spaced out and the practice facilities are clean and to the point. Ample car parking and great atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Played Golf here last night in a team match and it was my first of 6 rounds at 6 courses in 6 days. Fantastic 9 hole course, the greens were in amazing condition, the fairways were great and the members were friendly and welcoming. Very small and friendly club. Will be booking an open day there in the coming days. 10/10 loved it despite getting beat 2&1 off a great set of lads.

Nice clubhouse, bar and food. Sitting area outside weather permitting. Very good, although not the easiest of courses, well worth a visit.

Rating: 4 / 5

What a very friendly and well kept course. There were some very challenging and picturesque holes. Despite the 20mph wind that was against you on a lot of holes it was a great course to play and a real hidden gem. I look forward to playing it on a nice sunny day!

We recently had our wedding reception at Bradley Hall and I cannot recommend the venue enough. If you are looking for amazing value, friendly, helpful and professional staff, gorgeous food and a fabulous setting then look no further. This is the place for you. Kerrie and Mollie have been fabulous from our first meeting, helping us plan our day and being determined for it to be the best value and the day we wanted it to be. Nothing was too much trouble and their friendliness and helpfulness all contributed to making our day fabulous. Guests gushed about the food, the outdoor seating area was well used and enjoyed and there are loads of beautiful photograph locations. The golf club members, without exception, were welcoming and also added to the positive experience. We can't thank the staff enough for such a fantastic day.

From our first visit to Bradley Hall Golf Club, we knew that this venue could be perfect for our wedding and when we met Kerrie to discuss our requirements we definitely knew we had found the right place. Kerrie has been amazing throughout. She has great enthusiasm and a 'can do' attitude. Her knowledge of how to plan an event and suggest different options resulted in a perfect day. The food was amazing that Kerrie and her team prepared and we have already had great feedback from our guests. Mollie who is the Bar Manager significantly catered for our needs and Mollie and her team of bar staff worked hard to ensure that we had a great day and night! Our experience of Bradley Hall was second to none and without doubt we will highly recommend you to others. Carol and I had a perfect and very memorable day. And finally - Kerrie, you were the reason we chose Bradley Hall, first impressions proved to be lasting impressions. Thank you!
