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

Wow! My first time visit for a meeting! A really lovely place, excellent facilities, fabulous foods and amazing, friendly staff! I would wholeheartedly recommend this place.

Been here twice. Best breakfast at a golf club I've had and only 8 quid.

Had a really good challenging round of golf,bit of rain wouldn't go amiss but that's a minor complaint and not one to be taken too seriously. Really nice course in decent nick. Will be back to improve on my score.

Nice and quiet and ideal for novice or young golfers. Good range of holes (long and short). Can seem a little expensive if doing 18 but can pay for only 9. Cash only is a bit of a challenge though.

Been here a few times, not to play golf ( which I have heard is excellent) but just for a drink and some lunch and to enjoy the lovely scenery. The staff are excellent, attentive and hardworking and the bacon sandwich is first class. Attended a funeral here a few years ago and the catering was fabulous. Credit to all who keep it running so smoothly

Very nice course great price for a round with coffee and bacon buttie

Excellent value 9 hole course. Some testing drives on narrow fairways mixed in with some easier holes. Highly recommended for novice golfers.

Nice friendly staff, grounds are well looked after. A nice well balanced course with a few tricky spots to catch you out. A good nine hole course.

Course in decent nick, although it could get seriously boggy when real winter arrives. Gale force winds and crazy amounts of leaves blowing around, but enjoyable nevertheless. Food was good too, recommended.

First time playing Pontefract today, excellent staff, great course and really good club house.

Course is an undulating challenge. Greens have always been excellent when visited. Pro shop is very helpful. Bar and catering are faultless. Get it booked 👌

Excellent course, good test of skills, well maintained, friendly atmosphere.

Great course and very well priced but the 5 star goes to the staff. Always smiling and happy to help advise. Purchased 2 new wedges from the shop at a good price and they chucked in some free balls as a thank you. Top notch

Many Many big thank you's to Clarissa and her team with helping us with our wedding celebrations . Absolutely fantastic hot and cold buffet. All our guests complimented the food so big thank you to the chef and his team . Very impressed . Lovely venue Clarissa couldn't have been more helpful. We would highly recommend . Many thanks Dawn and Keith Parry .

Best value you for money course around. £15 for 18 holes One star deduction due to poor layout. Guy in shop gave us a map and explained the course but there's no signposts or they are poorly situated. Will be back

We had a lovely afternoon tea with friends and family at Calverley Golf Club today absolutely spot on. 16 adults 5 children. Food, staff and service was great. Really enjoyed it. I've paid over double this for afternoon tea before and this was better. Would definitely recommend and we will definitely be back. Thank you to the chef and staff today 😆

So lucky to have this course on my door step. Staff are friendly and helpful, the course is well looked after and I good challenge

New to golf and visited a few times now with my 16yr old son. Always a warm welcome, not made to feel uncomfortable with not being a member (yet). Out on the course everyone again is always friendly and understanding of us being new to the game. The course is kept in excellent condition. We both recommend visiting

A really good experience at LLGC. Cost of round was reasonable, quality of golf course was very good, pace of play good too and finally, a friendly clubhouse.

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.

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.

First time playing 9 hole course,little gem 6 decent length par 3's and 3 par 4's. Great value for money
