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

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

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.

Been coming here for years. The course is in okay condition in winter, better in the summer and the greens are in great condition all year round. For the money you could spend twice as much and be happy. Golf shop is always stocked up, staff are friendly, and they pros give great lessons.

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

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.

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 golf course, very friendly staff. Great variety of holes and terrain. Thoroughly enjoyable day out.

It was a wake,lots of seating,even a terrace and the food that was served was hot and very tasty,tea coffee juice so plenty choice. Staff were very friendly, approachable and accommodating.Would recommend.

Great local course and whilst not long has some challenges on many of the holes. Price is also very reasonable, definitely worth a visit

Fantastic Golf course! Ben and the team are always very friendly and ready to help. And the food is spot on too!

Really enjoyed this 9 hole course Played it early morning 615 am The members were very friendly Some good holes and lovely veiws.

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 😊

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.

Played in a friendly at Meltham tonight after playing Ryburn yesterday and ahead of Halifax Bradley Hall which I go to tomorrow. I promised myself I'd review every course I play this week as I'm all over West Yorkshire but this course will not be beaten. Its condition has to be the best I've seen of any course this year. The greens are true and the fairways are lush. I didn't go in any bunkers but they made each hole picturesque and looked perfect. Rakes everywhere and ball retrievers placed where they were needed. I had a two course meal after and my understanding is they have a new head chef who is on a trial shift at this moment in time. To serve 32 Golfers all at the same time is a baptism of fire and anyone who has worked in the catering industry knows that. Sorry Meltham but he's hired!!! Food was 10/10 and the sticky toffee pudding was amazing. Thank you for such amazing hospitality. I will be back !

Greens are in great condition thank you

First time I have plaid at Meltham. What a fantastically well kept course. I've never seen T boxes so green and carpet like. Fantastic greens and fairways too. The last few holes are definitely challenging. We'll worth trying out

We chose to use Meltham golf club for our mums wake after recommendation from Birks. We were very happy with the room, which was bright and set out lovely. The food we chose from the menu was exceptional and everyone commented on how nice it was. Would highly recommend Meltham Golf Club. Thank you

This is my second time here. Slightly disappointed as the pillows are too hard. The tv didn’t work, the bathroom light was flickering and the outside bench from room 5 has been removed. So we couldn’t really sit outside and enjoy the lovey views in the evening. A few tweeks and this could be a lovely affordable stay. The beds are super comfortable. The location is quiet and beautiful. The staff are great.

Beautiful building and grounds. Stayed just the one night, twin room had everything you needed. The beds were comfortable and the views stunning. Lovely cooked breakfast in the morning. Great value for money (Suggestion not a criticism rather than a large jug of milk and 1 large dish of sugar etc, maybe smaller and more for each table at breakfast) Would stay here again, staff all very friendly and efficient

A really gorgeous place to play golf. Setting is incredible, course in great condition ( September) Coaching - John sorted out my putting stroke and my bent putter! Couldn't be happier. 👍⛳.

What an amazing setting for a golf club 👏 Fabulous and challenging golf course. The staff are ALL welcoming irrespective of your ability I cannot wait to return.

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

I'm a member, so slightly biased. Great course, good clubhouse, great people. What's not to like?

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.

You forgot how long the drive is uo to this golf club but it has some amazing views and wildlife

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

Stunning golf course, be prepared for the walking of the hills

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!

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.

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.

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.

Good food and a awesome pint. 2 meals for £15 you can go wrong. Hopefully I will be back soon.

Decent course for a novice but the price is getting really expensive when compared to local 18hole course that are just as good but without surrounding views.
