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

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 has been my home club for the last 12 yrs or so. Fantastic golf course. Even through this dry spell the greens are some of the best in this area. Friendly staff always makes you feel welcomed to the club Come & try yourself out against the course. You'll love it😃🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♀️⛳

Such a lovely afternoon.

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.

Great course. Some interesting holes. Green keepers constantly working on the course. But being respectful towards golfers. Played twice now and wilI return. Excellent value for money.

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.

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.

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 😗

Great 9 hole gem that’s in good condition, greens are great but slow. Good customer service and decent prices all round! My mum and sister were able to walk scenic public footpaths in and around the course while we played golf.

Decent course, testing walk. Course is in pretty good condition. Not particularly challenging for medium/long hitters with a driver not required on any holes. Good variety of par 3s and a couple of drivable par 4s. 2nd/11th and 9th/18th are very severely uphill which will be challenging to walk for unfit/older golfers (we’re talking a good 70m elevation change in one hole. I’m fit and was out of puff by the end). Greens in decent condition, fairly paced for February. Winter tees among the best I’ve played. Can imagine the 5th/14th is a nightmare in-season/on weekends due to walkers/runners/dogs as a public right of way runs the whole length of the hole & across it. Would be a good course for beginners/shorter hitters but it’s a hard walk.

Lovely little place to enjoy a late afternoon drink on a fresh wintery day. Very friendly staff. Dog friendly which is a massive plus. Will be coming back to try the food one day as it sounds amazing. Cheap prices too. 5/5

Nice course, very good greens, friendly staff in the clubhouse.

Played here last week and I have to say what an amazing course! The condition is amazing, greens were well manicured as well as the fairways. Well designed course, a good challenge with some inviting driving holes. Hard to believe this is a municipal course. Members were friendly, I would totally recommend this course.

Great place for a function. Bar staff quick and friendly atmosphere was excellent at 60th birthday bash 👌

This is one of the Gems of Golf that should not be overlooked, we worshiped the place - Driving Range, 9 holes for learners but it is a great challenge and a fabulous 18 hole parkland course and on top of all that great club house and well stocked pro-shop. We moved to the coast many years ago and this is the one course I miss the most,apart from Ogden Golf Club Halifax.... Derek

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

This course is beautiful with great history. Nathan, the pro was so kind, even after running late because our rental car broke down. We didn’t specify that we needed rental clubs in the booking and he still ran to the basement and put some together while his other 2 sets were booked out already. I couldn’t recommend this beautiful course more. It’s unique features as an Alister McKenzie course brings holes that crossover like a plane runway. You can play the original amen corner. This is a must play at a great price!

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.

As a recently taking up golf, i have really enjoyied using the Manors facilities. A trip After work to the driving range or taking my son on a weekend, has really caught his interest too. Would recommend and will continue to use them

Had our wedding here on the 27/04/24 and we had the most incredible day! All of the events coordinators could not have been more helpful with all of our crazy questions! The venue is gorgeous as are the grounds, which made for amazing photos by the lake! The venue was set up just how we imagined, if not better! The Manor worked amazingly with our vendors and everything went smoothly! Have to say a massive thank you to all of the event coordinators! Would 100% recommend for any wedding/event!

Nice course and facilities. Only problem is the amount of kids on the driving range. You can be sat around for half an hour waiting for a bay while they mess about due to the sheer number of them. One of them nearly hit another person waiting due to their poor skill level and general lack of care as the ball ricocheted off the side wall, up and then back to the seating area. The numbers of kids needs controlling. Other than that, it's a well kept course with reasonable membership prices. Guest prices are a little on the high side.

Hello, I would firstly like to say what an absolute magical day we had. From start to finish Becky was brilliant and truly a wonderful Lady. We loved every minute and thankyou Mr & Mrs Todd

A cracking golf course. Massive greens. Many long par 4's offer up a stiff challenge, but always rewarding. Lovely clubhouse, and tidy pro shop. Made for an excellent MacKenzie double bill with nearby Alwoodley.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Superb 12 hole course. It’s quite a challenging and rather characterful course. It was soggy in some places but it was in better condition than both Wike and Rudding. I’m actually surprised how well the greens have held up in the winter we’ve just had (2023/24). The tee boxes and fairways were pure, even in March! You can tell it’s well looked after. I’m looking forward to going back in better weather, it’ll be fantastic!

Lovely golf course. I 100% recommend a visit. I'd never played before but everyone was super welcoming and helpful. The course was absolutely stunning and beautifully maintained.
