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

Very nice course, to say it had rained previous it wasn't boggy at all, the pro Dean was very welcoming, will definitely be back!

Tough course when the wind blows but it’s very straight forward and open. You wont lose your ball if you miss the fairways. Greens are true and fast. Could do with more sand in the bunkers though but otherwise course is kept in very good condition. Pro very helpful and friendly. Has a very nice modern clubhouse and outside area.

We have been lucky enough to have a few Sunday lunches out over the last few months but I have to say today’s was brilliant. We love food and have eaten in lots of restaurants, Luca’s homemade pate was delicious, the beef and gammon melted in your mouth , the veg was really well cooked and the pudding was massive (we shared lol) and scrummy! Lovely atmosphere, amazing value (3 course less than £20) and attentive staff x great Sunday lunch we will be back.

Family members who are keen golfers have been members here a long time and we have spent many a good night of entertainment here too.

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

Sheer class! Great course in great condition. Friendly staff and members made us feel very welcome

Always lovely, nice staff and family feeling.. Has been for years.. Snooker room is cosy! Good tables, beautiful views.. And the golf's good too 😉

Looking very good indeed. The course was in good condition and playing well. Changes in the clubhouse are fantastic too. Thanks for having me today..👌🏻👍😃⛳️⛳️

A cracking golf course. Massive greens. Many long par 4's offer up a stiff challenge, but always rewarding. Lovely clubhouse, and tidy pro shop. Made for an excellent MacKenzie double bill with nearby Alwoodley.

Fun and interesting golf course, in a peaceful location and fairly priced. Mature, tree-lined, undulating fairways and interesting shapes all over the course. I've played it a couple of times and would gladly go back.

Another enjoyable visit. Managed to get to grips with the greens this time. Read them better than last time anyway. Friendly clubhouse , good food and beer. Ossett Blonde , Wainwrights and a Theakstons I think it was. Beavertown Neckoil on keg. Always enjoy playing here. Some real risk and reward holes. Still havent mastered the greens which have slopes I just cant see😂

I've played plenty of golf courses over the years and came back here. Good course, well maintained, true greens, most of the time, very friendly bar and members. The first 6 holes are a challenge so get through those and then enjoy the rest. They have done a lot of work in recent years on drainage so worth considering through the winter when other clubs are unplayable. The day rate guest fees are too low and don't reflect the quality of the course in my opinion.

My first round at this course and very impressed. It's an interesting course with plenty of features and undulations. It's also a course that tempts you to regularly hit a driver off the tee. Thumbs up

Great challenging course but how many bunkers are there on it 😗

Came with my society and really enjoyed it. Course played really well considering the amount of rain we have had. Greens were true and quick! Only negative is there was no catering at the time. Well worth a visit though. Will be bringing the society back in future.

Superb 12 hole course. It’s quite a challenging and rather characterful course. It was soggy in some places but it was in better condition than both Wike and Rudding. I’m actually surprised how well the greens have held up in the winter we’ve just had (2023/24). The tee boxes and fairways were pure, even in March! You can tell it’s well looked after. I’m looking forward to going back in better weather, it’ll be fantastic!

Lovely golf course. I 100% recommend a visit. I'd never played before but everyone was super welcoming and helpful. The course was absolutely stunning and beautifully maintained.

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

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

Beautiful little course and a good test too

Great municipal golf course, very accessible and welcoming to all standards. Great staff on hand to help when needed.

A perfectly set up well maintained golf course

Nice friendly bar with good choice of ale ( I don't play golf 😁)

Such a lovely afternoon.

This is has been my home club for the last 12 yrs or so. Fantastic golf course. Even through this dry spell the greens are some of the best in this area. Friendly staff always makes you feel welcomed to the club Come & try yourself out against the course. You'll love it😃🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♀️⛳

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.

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 😊

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.

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.

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.
