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

Booked an Afternoon Tea party for my mum's 90th Birthday, it was lovely. The food was delicious and so beautifully presented on pretty vintage china. We were made to feel so welcome and looked after so well. Mum was really happy. Shout out to Trysha, the catering staff and bar staff. Would highly recommend this venue to all.

Nice club cheap drink for a cricket club car park not the best needs tar macking

Fab Sunday dinner, roast lamb was perfect. Fresh fruit meringue nest was tasty. Lovely bar staff and kitchen staff, nothing is too much trouble.

Called in today for lunch. Food was very tasty. Friendly staff. Good price would definitely recommend a visit.

A little tucked away gem of a course this. £10 a round is great value, course is cared for, members seem very friendly, club house bar / terrace is very nicely done. Only a par 66 but still a challenging course which favours accuracy. Been back a good few times now. Only downside is it's a 9 hole course and quite 'up hill and down valley', hence not 5 stars but a strong 4 stars and defo worth a visit.

Very tricky to get to, as ,its narrow country lanes . I went through the day & the views are spectacular.Dont think I'd like to go in the dark ! I went to a child's 1st birthday . The place itself is lovely & the buffet was delicious. The staff are very friendly & attentive. I ordered a Slimline tonic , priced at £2.50 , I thought was a bit steep! I thought Golf clubs were subsidised...yikes..Needless to say , I only had the one drink.

Found this great course on my travels today. Spoke to Nicky and Sophie. Very friendly and welcoming. Answered all my questions regarding membership. Can’t wait to play on it now. Thank you and highly recommend this place to all

Went for our works christmas do. The place was decorated lovely, the drinks weren't the cheapest but this is to be expected at this type of establishment. The food was delicious I would go back again.

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.

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.

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.

Our wedding day at The Manor on 24th August 2024 was truly unforgettable. The venue exceeded all our expectations. The room was transformed into something more beautiful than we could have ever imagined, and the private garden was perfect for photos, complementing the stunning golf course, which provided the ideal setting for our bride and groom shots. Rebecca and her team went above and beyond to ensure every detail was flawless. From the many planning meetings, Rebecca was always available, and no request was too much trouble. The food was exceptional, and every moment felt magical. Choosing The Manor was the best decision—we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. Thank you! Mr & Mrs Rothery

Had our wedding here on the 27/04/24 and we had the most incredible day! All of the events coordinators could not have been more helpful with all of our crazy questions! The venue is gorgeous as are the grounds, which made for amazing photos by the lake! The venue was set up just how we imagined, if not better! The Manor worked amazingly with our vendors and everything went smoothly! Have to say a massive thank you to all of the event coordinators! Would 100% recommend for any wedding/event!

As a recently taking up golf, i have really enjoyied using the Manors facilities. A trip After work to the driving range or taking my son on a weekend, has really caught his interest too. Would recommend and will continue to use them

Hello, I would firstly like to say what an absolute magical day we had. From start to finish Becky was brilliant and truly a wonderful Lady. We loved every minute and thankyou Mr & Mrs Todd

Went for a 50th Anniversary meal, the staff were really friendly and helpful from the booking and organising the menu stage. It was well organised and a lot of people said they'd enjoyed the food and would go back here again. It's dog friendly as well so we're thinking of calling again when we're out.

As a golf club , I don't know. We went for a function, a first birthday 🎂 🥳. Very impressed with the location , car parking is super close to the building, the function room was perfect, roomy, and plenty of natural light through the large windows ( early afternoon for us ) . The bar was friendly with plenty of choice, they even catered for the event which was surprisingly nice. Over all highly recommended if you need a place fir a function 👌🏾. Enjoy if you do .

Fantastic course ,quite challenging with great greens and a lovely clubhouse .

Wonderful 18 hole course. Demanding on the old legs but 5 out of 5 for me. Buggy hire available for the faint hearted I’ve been told. Good course, well kept and clean and staff were wonderful too

We had our wedding here yesterday and we had the most amazing time as did our guests. Emma and the entire team were an absolute godsend and so bloody good at what they do. Totally stress free and great communication. Emma you made this so easy for us under our personal circumstances and i can’t express how much we all appreciated this. From the bottom our hearts - Thank You ❤️❤️

Been here twice. Best breakfast at a golf club I've had and only 8 quid.

Had a really good challenging round of golf,bit of rain wouldn't go amiss but that's a minor complaint and not one to be taken too seriously. Really nice course in decent nick. Will be back to improve on my score.

A really good experience at LLGC. Cost of round was reasonable, quality of golf course was very good, pace of play good too and finally, a friendly clubhouse.

New to golf and visited a few times now with my 16yr old son. Always a warm welcome, not made to feel uncomfortable with not being a member (yet). Out on the course everyone again is always friendly and understanding of us being new to the game. The course is kept in excellent condition. We both recommend visiting

The course was lovely. Buggies had maps & and yardage, which was great. Buggies stop if you go out of bounds, they should maps & instructions for this Clubhouse & the punts were excellent.

Amazing! My first experience golfing with a friend and it couldn’t have gone any better. The location is absolutely perfect with lots of well looked after fields and very friendly golfers. Everything is well spaced out and the practice facilities are clean and to the point. Ample car parking and great atmosphere. Highly recommended!

At Willow Valley Golf Club there are 3 golf courses, a driving range, a moderately sized practice putting area and a short game area. The driving range isn't the smartest ive seen but it is functional and is a welcome practice and/or warm up facility. The other practice facilities are great and well maintained. There are also teaching professionals who offer both individual and (very reasonably priced) group tuition. I have had some coaching from Joe at WVGC and I can highly recommend his services. I have played all three courses many times and they offer a good variety of challenge. 1) Fountain Ridge: This is the 9 hole course. It comprises of 6 Par 3 holes and 3 par 4s. All of the holes are relatively short but there is a nice bit of variety for such a small course (2 dogleg holes - one left and one right, some slight elevation changes and a few well placed bunkers). The course is very beginner friendly but is also good fun for golfers of all abilities; I sometimes play the 9 hole course if I'm short on time but still want to have a knock around. Be aware; it is a popular course and being so beginner friendly means you may well encounter players of a poorer standard or very young players etc. However everyone has to start somewhere (and this is a great place to do just that) so as long as you accept that on busy days you might be waiting a little, there should be no issue. 2) Pine Valley: The first of two 18 hole courses. This I would say is a good step up from the fountain ridge course, providing longer holes and more of a "full" golfing experience, but is still beginner friendly. With a slope rating of 97 this course is very forgiving. Most greens are open on approach and not heavily guarded by bunkers etc. The bunkers there are though, are well placed in areas, and at distances that are fitting for the beginner - intermediate golfer. Better golfers will not find a great challenge here but will still find a fun and enjoyable round of golf. I like to play Pine when I just want a relaxing round. I will say that the Pine course is very popular and can start to suffer from heavy use as the season goes on; tee boxes can be particularly worn at times, though it would be tough to keep up with so much traffic. My only real issue with Pine is that there are a lot of casual golfers who either don't know or don't care about the rules and etiquette of golf, meaning on occasion you can be stuck being groups who ignore much faster groups (or individual players) and insist on hacking their way slowly around the course as you stand on the tee tearing your hair out. I appreciate everyone is playing as well as they are able, it's just that there are rules in place specifically to tackle this issue. Failure to repair pitchmarks also seems to be a popular characteristic of some of the less golf-savvy clientele. 3) Willow Valley: the "Championship Course". This full 18 hole course provides a good challenge for any player. With a slope rating of between 129 and 137 (depending on tee box) it is a great test. There is a lot of water on this course, some tight fairways and an interesting variety of holes in terms of shape, elevation, length and hazards. Simply hitting driver on every hole is likely to get you into trouble and thinking your way around the course is advisable. I have been reliably informed the club actually removed a number of bunkers from the course a few years ago as it was felt to be too challenging! During the season this course is well maintained, the greens are typically quick and roll beautifully and I would recommend a round here to anyone who is serious about their game. I will add that, out of season, all three of the courses can get VERY wet and boggy in places - I have lost balls in the centre of the fairways at times due to balls plugging so deeply. However, there is a refund policy clearly displayed and the course is regularly inspected and will be closed if conditions get too bad. All in all Willow Valley Golf is a great club with a wide range of facilities and options for all abilities.

Unbelievable golf course. In amazing condition after the weather turned. Also, how on earth can you get a green fee for 22.50 here. I've paid triple that at some places than don't get anywhere close to this. A must play.

Me and my friend came for a spa day for our birthday and it was luxurious😍we had the best few hours and look forward to returning in be future. The spa facilities are so relaxing the whole venue is stunning! And the staff were lovely and helpful😁

Fabulous place. We really loved the whole experience . Breakfast was nice. Restaurant had halal options as well. Spa was really well equipped, swimming and gym options. An extremely vast open area for walk and running. 100/10
