Best Golf Courses in Ovenden, West yorkshire (2025)

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

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

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

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.

Really enjoyable moorland course. Holes 3 to 6 are tough lay up tee shots, especially if you haven't played here before as the fairways are split into sections with streams and gullies running across them... be patient and plot your way through these holes with irons, hybrids or woods from the tee as you can open your shoulders up with driver on the back 9. Some great views especially from the 17th tee box.

Very very good. Course layout is fun but fair, greens were true and the course condition was immaculate. At £31 it’s possibly the best value round of golf I’ve ever had. Superb, will be back!

Great golf course. Some stunning holes. Very picturesque. Challenging but great fun. Will certainly be back. Staff in the Club House were extremely friendly & did everything they could to make our Charity Golf Day go really well.

My son, my sister in law and I would just like to thank Dave the manager at Northcliffe golf club and his fantastic team Vicky and Verity for looking after us so well after the recent passing of my husband. We held the funeral tea there and Dave, Vicky and Verity couldn’t do enough to support us which we all found very comforting. The venue was beautiful and the food outstanding. There was plenty of parking to accommodate our family and friends. Thank you all so much. Julie, Matthew and Cath xxx

Going to Northcliffe Pro Shop is a brilliant experience - Matt is attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. We talked about what I was looking for and he gave me helpful advice, and let me test different clubs, without any pressure. It felt like a really personal experience and I could tell he genuinely wanted to make sure I found the right fit. The shop itself has a great selection, with plenty of offers, and a welcoming atmosphere. It’s the perfect place if you're in the market for golf gear either for yourself or as a gift for a loved one. I highly recommend stopping by and asking for Matt. You won’t be disappointed!

Great setting, beautiful course, very well laid out and challenging. Challenging opening hole and one of the best finishing holes I've played. The 18th is quite special. We'll done to your grounds staff to present such a lovely course. Staff very friendly, and members are also helpful and friendly. Bar food quality is excellent. I would have given 5 stars, but for.... we played on beautiful sunny Saturday afternoon, our Tee was after their members competition, we were nearly finished when we met a four ball and one member was dresses in 3/4 length trousers, round neck leasure T-shirt and to top it all Open toe sandals, no socks....... unbelievable. What's that about? It's totally disrespectful. I've played in hotter condition and hotter countries and have never seen a player dress like that before

Such a great day out as always. Only played 9 holes all par 4 and 3. The course is such a lovely course with inviting and forgiving fairways. The greens are harder during dryer weather but still slightly challenging in the wet conditions. Pricing is fair too. The staff here are soo friendly and very helpful. And the golf shop here is reasonably priced.

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 😊

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.

This course is beautiful with great history. Nathan, the pro was so kind, even after running late because our rental car broke down. We didn’t specify that we needed rental clubs in the booking and he still ran to the basement and put some together while his other 2 sets were booked out already. I couldn’t recommend this beautiful course more. It’s unique features as an Alister McKenzie course brings holes that crossover like a plane runway. You can play the original amen corner. This is a must play at a great price!

The best golf course in the area, and one of the best in Yorkshire. A beautiful hidden gem, with a great variety of holes, and true greens. Perfect for golfers of all abilities and ages.

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.

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

Fantastic layout in great condition. There are lots of interesting holes that provide a good challenge for all levels of golfers. The greens were best the best we have played this year and we have been to some prestigious courses. It is also set within the grounds of a nature reserve with great views on many holes. Great practice facilities to warm up including a covered driving range and the halfway house was open on Wednesday when we played. Great value at £40 for a top quality round of golf.

Just joined a couple of months ago as a new member and I love it, best choice of a golf club I ever made. The professional Darren is very helpful and his shop is always full of quality golf gear like bags, clubs, club grips and golf balls. The green's are great 😃. It is relatively quiet during the day (wednesday is easily the quietest day) and Saturday's are usually the busiest. And people are very friendly. Overall I would definitely recommend becoming a member at West End Golf Club 👍.

Such a fantastic place to play. The course is a challenge, booking is effortless, food and drink/bar is just what is wanted after a round. Above all the people are amiable and can't do enough for you.

My first ever golf lesson was BRILLIANT! Darren left no stone unturned when helping to improve my golf swing. Within just a couple of swings Darren was able to point out the main reason for my consistent fade of the ball. Over the next hour using video analysis and his own visual observations he explained scientifically how I could achieve my desired results. I must add that at no time did I feel that there was information overload as he checked my understanding at every step of the way and pitched the information at a level that he knew I could understand. I am very much looking forward to transferring my knowledge and confidence to the course this week. I will be touching base with Darren again soon as he is very approachable and keen to help me on my golf journey. Thanks Darren ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My first ever visit to this place in all the time I have lived in brighouse & my it didn’t disappoint the room that we were having are meal in plus entertainment was very open with stunning views of Yorkshire s finest greenery . We arrived a bit early but had a loverly chap called Richard have a chat to myself plus my parents explaining the history of the golf club which was a brilliant insight to the evening before we sat down to have are 3 course meal . The food to my taste was amazing it was just cooked right from starters to desert the staff were very warm n helpful to every in the room it s a very unique experience to have a golf club in the centre of a town or just not far from the main area but this place from the large car park great facilities plus very interesting history I would highly recommend plus I am not a golf fan but we also got a cracking view of the fair way with the green just yards away which was just so beautiful . I hope to call back next year or before thank you for the club’s professionalism plus high standards

This is a great golf course. The professional, Paul, is a great teacher and is well worth a few half hour lessons. The 19th hole is not bad either!!
