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

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

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?

Matt is a very pleasant person to deal with and always ready to help you out and make sure you get what suits you and will go back again.

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 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

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!

Lovely club very welcoming by Staff and Members. Great golf and a lovely meal afterwards. Our society (Black Sheep) have been coming to Shipley for the last few years and have never been disappointed. Thank you.

I have just had my mums funeral celebration at Shipley Golf Club. I could not have chosen a better place. Massive thankyou to Alice who was so supportive every step of the way. Food beautiful and all staff on the day lovely. Thank you so much

Had a great day on the Underpin charity day. Shipley golf course was in fantastic condition. Staff, food atmosphere amazing.

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.

Such a lovely afternoon.

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.

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 😊

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.

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.

Fantastic track in excellent condition. Met a dozen new friends in the car park who invited me into their Monday roll up. The warmest welcome ever. May go back for another round Wednesday! Great club with friendly members.

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 👍.

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A friendly club with a good professional check out Darren Arber Golf on YouTube.

Just had family gathering Christmas 🎄 dinner at this little gem of a place food was perfect 👌 if u wont nice sunday meal highly recommended especially the dessert apple crumble and custard 🍮

Not played the course yet but looking forward to playing it but the staff are excellent I go to the driving range to practice but staff are so kind and driving range is like brand new

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

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!

Truly is God's country, if he was making a golf course, he made this, wow, tough course, make sure you know where you go, amazing course with amazing scenery - the Par 3 17th - wow

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

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.

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 ..

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

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
