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

Took the kids down for the first time, Elliot was excellent with them. Very informative and good teaching skills. Would definitely recommend.

Oakdale the course was a good test off golf some lovely holes, I would recommend a buggy very hilly in parts very good club house good food and staff would definitely play again, we played second week in September the weather was sunny and dry, parkland course best to play in the summer ☀️

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.

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 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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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!!

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

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

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

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.

Great course, excellent condition and s good challenge, lovely clubhouse as well, with seating outside on a sunny day

Fantastic course, they have done wonders since lock down, the course is in wonderful playing condition and the staff couldn't do enough for you, well done guys and keep up the good work

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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

Very nice bar, staff were excellent!

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

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.

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
