Excellent facilities, maybe just short of a bar, I'm sure that will come, nice friendly welcome, explained what we needed to do and left to get on with it, whilst ready to help if required, 4 of us played 18 holes in 2hr 45min was a good laugh added with a bit of practice

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful course and in excellent condition. Usually there’s always something you could pick out as not being great about a course/club but that wasn’t the case here. It’s not particularly local for me but I’d definitely make the trip again. Great clubhouse and friendly staff too.

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 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.

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.

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

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

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

Great course, greens were incredibly quick with well maintained fairways and a beautiful club house with great food and a well stocked pro shop!!

Played their Seniors Open. The event was extremely well run, carpark marshals, course marshals, half way refreshment hut etc. Greens in great nick and course we'll maintained. Still a few soft patches off the fairways but these look to be drying out quickly.

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

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.

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

Rating: 4 / 5

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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!

Amazing golf course for the money. Polite staff and a good course with plenty of variety and offers a good challenge for all levels.

I can only speak for the restaurant as I am no golfer. Hearty food at a reasonable price. Friendly service, and a good Sunday lunch menu. Quite casual attire can be worn, as you do not need to be a member. Car park gets very busy at times, so you may have to park on the driveway. Also, parking can be quite tight for larger cars. A great asset for Leeds City Council.

First time at the course today and I was very impressed. Amazing fairways and a very very well kept course. Clean club house and very friendly staff. Top marks all round
