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

In the context of the weather this year, the greens are so good, almost like velvet. The rough this year has grown so heavily the staff should be commended for their efforts in keeping it under control. Richard Brooker. Member

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.

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

Had a great time with the Laurence Batley league and the handicap team. Big shout to Alex, Chris and Steve for your hospitality and help around the course. Course was in good condition, tough in the right places. Gorgeous views up and down the valley. Some friendly sheep around and about.😉

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.

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.

*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!

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

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 😆

For a municipal course, this is very good indeed. Yes, a little wet in places, but the general condition of the course and greens is good. Though not long, it is tight with its own challenges. Nice bar and snacks on offer.

Likely the Best Value for money course in Yorkshire. Superb setup all round

First time I've tried golf as my son goes to the driving range here. Nice place and really enjoyed it. Good price for the driving range and after we could practice on the putting green free of charge. Will go again

Rating: 4 / 5

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
