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

I'm a member, so slightly biased. Great course, good clubhouse, great people. What's not to like?

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

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

Great 9 hole gem that’s in good condition, greens are great but slow. Good customer service and decent prices all round! My mum and sister were able to walk scenic public footpaths in and around the course while we played golf.

Lovely little place to enjoy a late afternoon drink on a fresh wintery day. Very friendly staff. Dog friendly which is a massive plus. Will be coming back to try the food one day as it sounds amazing. Cheap prices too. 5/5

Good food and a awesome pint. 2 meals for £15 you can go wrong. Hopefully I will be back soon.

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

We chose to use Meltham golf club for our mums wake after recommendation from Birks. We were very happy with the room, which was bright and set out lovely. The food we chose from the menu was exceptional and everyone commented on how nice it was. Would highly recommend Meltham Golf Club. Thank you

Greens are in great condition thank you

Played in a friendly at Meltham tonight after playing Ryburn yesterday and ahead of Halifax Bradley Hall which I go to tomorrow. I promised myself I'd review every course I play this week as I'm all over West Yorkshire but this course will not be beaten. Its condition has to be the best I've seen of any course this year. The greens are true and the fairways are lush. I didn't go in any bunkers but they made each hole picturesque and looked perfect. Rakes everywhere and ball retrievers placed where they were needed. I had a two course meal after and my understanding is they have a new head chef who is on a trial shift at this moment in time. To serve 32 Golfers all at the same time is a baptism of fire and anyone who has worked in the catering industry knows that. Sorry Meltham but he's hired!!! Food was 10/10 and the sticky toffee pudding was amazing. Thank you for such amazing hospitality. I will be back !

First time I have plaid at Meltham. What a fantastically well kept course. I've never seen T boxes so green and carpet like. Fantastic greens and fairways too. The last few holes are definitely challenging. We'll worth trying out

Played here last week and I have to say what an amazing course! The condition is amazing, greens were well manicured as well as the fairways. Well designed course, a good challenge with some inviting driving holes. Hard to believe this is a municipal course. Members were friendly, I would totally recommend this course.

Nice course, very good greens, friendly staff in the clubhouse.

This is one of the Gems of Golf that should not be overlooked, we worshiped the place - Driving Range, 9 holes for learners but it is a great challenge and a fabulous 18 hole parkland course and on top of all that great club house and well stocked pro-shop. We moved to the coast many years ago and this is the one course I miss the most,apart from Ogden Golf Club Halifax.... Derek

Been coming here for years. The course is in okay condition in winter, better in the summer and the greens are in great condition all year round. For the money you could spend twice as much and be happy. Golf shop is always stocked up, staff are friendly, and they pros give great lessons.

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

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.

Played today in glorious sunshine. Played with Clive and Chris members and stalwart’s of Hebden Bridge. Great game course in excellent condition greens true,fairways perfect ( well done greenskeeper) Views brilliant. I’ll be back because you are so friendly. Thanks again Clive/Chris

Played Saturday morning before the Medal started. Nice experience. Very misty to start, but soon cleared. Course was in pretty good condition. Good greens and fairways. Tees not the best. A couple of the holes in the middle are a little hit and miss, but enjoyed the 1st, 2nd, 8th and 9th. Would definitely play here again if visiting the area. Very helpful staff and members. Views are great. Could definitely benefit with a few arrows and directions to next Tees. In fairness I didn't have a scorecard, so a map may well be on that. Overall... Very good 😁

Fairly short 9 hole course on the side of a hill, where the star of the show is the fantastic location. The views are stunning. The course is no after thought though, with very good fairways and fairly decent greens, and the two par 3's (Holes 7 & 8) are as pretty as you'll find anywhere. They're pretty tricky too. I'd certainly be happy to play here again, although maybe when there aren't 30mph winds around.

Played on the 22nd of May 2018. Left me regretting that I did not have time to play another nine. Yes it was rough and ready, raw golf, but that is its charm. This course has some of the most spectacular holes I have ever played. The first, what a hole, but the 8th a par 3 for me was the stand out hole. There is a good mix of holes and outstanding views in all directions a real treat for the senses. Played 486 courses, its hard to remember some of them but this one I will always remember and it is one I would choose to play again. Congratulations to all the members who value and support this unique golf club and course. Mike Williams.

played yesterday for the first time.... thoroughly enjoyed it! I thought it was in really good condition, and the undulations in some of the greens - wow. Definitely go back.

Nice Course⛳️Good Lay-out, Great location👀Decent variety off Holes- Fantastic views’ The Greens Were Nice- Bunkers & Fairways☀️Course can wet in parts) Plays Great When dry🔥👌Decent Clubhouse/pro shop(James the Professional was a Gent.. We will be back

Great course, hilliest I’ve ever played on I’d advise to watch out for horses people and dogs on the course though. Play with caution if your first time!

Stunning golf course, be prepared for the walking of the hills

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

Nice course and facilities. Only problem is the amount of kids on the driving range. You can be sat around for half an hour waiting for a bay while they mess about due to the sheer number of them. One of them nearly hit another person waiting due to their poor skill level and general lack of care as the ball ricocheted off the side wall, up and then back to the seating area. The numbers of kids needs controlling. Other than that, it's a well kept course with reasonable membership prices. Guest prices are a little on the high side.

Fantastic Golf course! Ben and the team are always very friendly and ready to help. And the food is spot on too!

Really enjoyed this 9 hole course Played it early morning 615 am The members were very friendly Some good holes and lovely veiws.

Had a great time with the Laurence Batley league and the handicap team. Big shout to Alex, Chris and Steve for your hospitality and help around the course. Course was in good condition, tough in the right places. Gorgeous views up and down the valley. Some friendly sheep around and about.😉
