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

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

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.😉

Great local course and whilst not long has some challenges on many of the holes. Price is also very reasonable, definitely worth a visit

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

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

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.

I recently hired the golf club for a workshop, the catering was lovely and the bar staff were great. The staff were really friendly, helpful and took good care of us. I will definitely be using the golf club as a venue in the future

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 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

This is a fantastic course that is available at a great place for it's quality. I genuinely think it's offering the sort of golf course for a normal price that others around Yorkshire are charging double. It's a great course layout, really enjoyable challenge and nicely set around the lake. It's got a great driving range to warm up on too.

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.

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😃🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♀️⛳

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 !

What a beautiful course, very picturesque and some interesting holes. Would be a member if I lived closer.

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

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

I attended as the DJ (Mike Andy Entertainments Ltd) other than the stairs it’s a great place to hold a party. I was very happy to be invited to the buffet as it never disappoints. Food and drinks just added to another wonderful evening experience

Played here twice (as a guest) now and do really like it, been in great condition both times. The only negative is it's one of those courses with a fair bit of crossing. I played at very quiet times, so no issues....but could be different when busy.

It's always a pleasure to meet up with family up there Birthday parties etc Carolyn always puts on great food and the staff are friendly and helpful

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.

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

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.

Just became a member here on 2-4-1 membership deal. Friendly club and a great little 9 hole course that doesn't take an age to get around.

Got there to play and the heavens open so didn't get to play a round of golf Hopefully try and go back and play the course again Look a good course and set up Returned to the course the following Friday played 18 holes, fairways are wide enough only down fall was for me was 5th and 6th holes found steep climb otherwise found it a great course to play

Very friendly club. Short 9 hole, but very testing. Challenge for all grade of golfer.

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.

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!

First time playing 9 hole course,little gem 6 decent length par 3's and 3 par 4's. Great value for money
