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.

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

played yesterday for the first time.... thoroughly enjoyed it! I thought it was in really good condition, and the undulations in some of the greens - wow. Definitely go back.

Nice tidy course. Decent greens and a challenging layout. Great fun to play, but the best bit about it is the staff. Really welcoming and will do all they can to make your visit a good one

Great course, hilliest I’ve ever played on I’d advise to watch out for horses people and dogs on the course though. Play with caution if your first time!

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.

You have the best facilities, best course etc etc but the people make the club. I've been welcomed by the members and management beyond expectations. The course is amazingly kept and I'm proud to be a teeny part of it.

Nice course, deceptively tough with long par 3s and a near 600 yard par 5 to finish. Friendly pro shop and bar with cracking real ale. Well worth a visit...

Excellent! We were at the golf club for a week using the function room for a course. Struck me as being a strange location for a course when I pulled up but I absolutely loved it. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Facilities were great - everything is immaculate. Loads of parking and a nice bar. Food was gorgeous, especially the full English on our last day - just what I needed to get through the awful exams we had to do! Thanks!

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.

The course was lovely. Buggies had maps & and yardage, which was great. Buggies stop if you go out of bounds, they should maps & instructions for this Clubhouse & the punts were excellent.

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.

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!

Excellent course , well set up , great greens. A good challenge for all golfers with some great Driving holes and some of the best Par 3’s in Yorkshire.

Large car park and excellent facilities. Brilliant for functions like weddings, birthdays etc. Very good food and views over the golf course. Excellent course to play. 18 holes and the course is in very good condition. Two virtual training rooms where you can have lessons and full swing analysis. Very well stocked pro shop. Very impressed with the condition course and particularly the greens ⛳️

Not a bad course at all. I managed to get a twilight offer so it cost me about £10 for the full 18 holes. The fairways and greens were in a decent condition. Caught up with a three ball in front of me who were very friendly and invited me to play with them. Would recommend for the money.

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

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 😆

*Wedding Party* Thank you so much to the amazing staff at the club who went above and beyond to host my mums wedding. Clarissa is an absolute superwoman and no request was too big or small and I couldn’t have got through the day without her help. The lovely ladies at the bar were complete troopers and were nonstop all night and even cleaned everything up and packed everything away for us to pick up the next day. Everyone was so lovely at the club and made us all feel so welcome! The kitchen staff went out of their way to cater to everyones dietary needs and made everyone aware of what they could and couldn’t have if they had intolerances or allergies. Everything was labelled and the food was gorgeous! The space we had was beautiful, the conservatory had a lovely outdoor space right outside which lead to views right over the golf course. The bar was well stocked with different options, the toilets were accessible and there was so much space for us. Highly recommend booking for functions!

Played here twice (as a guest) now and do really like it, been in great condition both times. The only negative is it's one of those courses with a fair bit of crossing. I played at very quiet times, so no issues....but could be different when busy.

I attended as the DJ (Mike Andy Entertainments Ltd) other than the stairs it’s a great place to hold a party. I was very happy to be invited to the buffet as it never disappoints. Food and drinks just added to another wonderful evening experience
