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

Good food nice staff and a lovely Golf course

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 place for a game of golf and lovely bar with a lovely stewardess running it that makes this place a nice place to have a drink

I recently became a member here and I absolutely love it the greens and fairways are brilliantly looked after the other members and bar staff are very friendly and helpful

Our group had a lovely day here. The course was in excellent condition. I was happy to sink a few good puts as the greens where very good. The food we had before and after the game was also excellent. The staff where helpful and pleasant. Clubhouse and facilities are also top class.

6 of us went there for the first time and it's a great flat course with a few tricky holes thru trees etc, went unbroken the bar great service from very kind and helpful staff, definitely worth a visit or possible membership

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

What a beautiful course, very picturesque and some interesting holes. Would be a member if I lived closer.

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 !

A hidden gem that will test the best golfers. Try it for yourself, you won't be disappointed

Small and short course very well kept and worth a visit. Because of it's size it is very reasonably priced and a round can be played in two or three hours.

I've been a member of the golf club for over 15 years now, I can honestly say it is a challenge every time I play the course is immaculately kept and a pleasure to play.

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

We had our wedding here yesterday and we had the most amazing time as did our guests. Emma and the entire team were an absolute godsend and so bloody good at what they do. Totally stress free and great communication. Emma you made this so easy for us under our personal circumstances and i can’t express how much we all appreciated this. From the bottom our hearts - Thank You ❤️❤️

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.

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.

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

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.

It's always a pleasure to meet up with family up there Birthday parties etc Carolyn always puts on great food and the staff are friendly and helpful

Very friendly club chap in the shop a true gentleman came over to us on the 28th green and asked how our day gad gone ...course us superb greens great easy to find your way around the course recommended highly we WILL be back ..

Very friendly club. Short 9 hole, but very testing. Challenge for all grade of golfer.

Just became a member here on 2-4-1 membership deal. Friendly club and a great little 9 hole course that doesn't take an age to get around.

We have had the pleasure of DJ'ing various parties and weddings at Longley and it is always a pleasure. Fantastic venue

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.

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!
