Bingley St. Ives Golf Club
Played On 09/16/202011th best in Yorkshire?!
Top courses of the world site rank this course as the 11th best in Yorkshire which is clearly wrong. It would be lucky to be in the top 20.
Parkland for the first 8 holes, then course gets really good on the 9th, after the 14th goes back to parkland.
If you are in the area you’ll find baildon cheaper and better. There’s nothing much wrong with Bingley as such but many holes you’ve seen before don’t make it that interesting. If it wasn’t for the middle part of the course it wouldn’t be in the top 50 in Yorkshire.
Also I am reliably informed the club links itself to Alistair McKenzie yet he didn’t have anything to do with the course, instead it was Charles McKenzie.
Worth £15 hot deal, anything more than £20 is a little over the top.
Baildon Golf Club
Played On 09/08/2020Great layout
Very interesting layout. Quite a hard walk being on a hill and wind was brutal. You see everything at baildon- bike riders, dog walkers, groups of people on horseback, walkers, you aren’t alone at any stage. However it didn’t detract from the round.
I will say baildon have some condition issues- I’m not an expert but the fairways were not ideal, but it has been a strange year with furloughed staff, no rain for months then a couple of months with tons of rain.
I paid £13 for the round which despite the conditions on a few holes was outstanding value. This is visually a great course with possibly the best views I’ve ever seen on an inland course.
I also give baildon credit for lowering green fees and memberships this year due to reflect the conditioning - most courses don’t do that. This one should be on your bucket list if you live in Yorkshire
Halifax Golf Club
Played On 08/24/2020Very different
You won’t be bored here. Lots of unusual holes, some stunning scenery and some frankly crazy tee shots. Didn’t know what club to use on the 17th, wedge-driver possible. It’s 4.8 out of 5 for a reason. Anything under £20 is a bargain, must play for that price. The pro was giving lessons before and after the round so getting a scorecard, refreshments may be an issue, not sure if that’s a one off. Strange to see lessons and practice on 1st and 18th holes but who cares it adds to the quirkyness!
Skipton Golf Club
Played On 08/21/2020Friendliest welcome in golf
Skipton GC may go under the radar but it is well worth the trip. Possibly the friendliest welcome around (as mentioned in other reviews) with some very nice holes. This course isn't mentioned in the top 40 in Yorkshire but should be. You won't be bored! Lots of great tee shots, cracking greens and many green staff working keeping the course nice. £35 summer rate is very good value
Ferrybridge Golf Club
Played On 07/28/2020Excellent course
This is a new course but well worth playing. Immaculate fairways, good layout and fun. The pictures don’t do it justice. Even the scorecard has a blurry picture of the course on the front. A few people marked it down because of the staff but I’m rating it as a golf course and having paid £12 that’s very much a bargain. Will definitely be back. Make sure you enter the street name rather than the golf course on your way there or you may end up on the motorway! Whoever thought a 9 hole course next to a power station could be this well kept
Outlane Golf Club
Played On 07/21/2020Quirky
Interesting layout, not for everybody and you may lose balls off the tee but it’s fun. Several unique tee shots make it interesting all the way around. We got lost two or three times and played the wrong green, fantastic. £12 is a bargain if you can get it for that price on golfnow. Possibly the noisiest course I’ve played given it’s proximity to the m62. You may need to play here a couple of times to know the score and I can’t wait to play again. I’ll get a buggy next time as it’s on a hill and a bit of a walk! It’s tricky due to the slopes, long grass, trees etc but it makes it more fun.
West Bradford Golf Club
Played On 07/17/2020Surprised at the high ratings
No way is this course 4-5 stars. Slow greens, long grass, no real memorable holes. Paid £12- anything more than that is too much. Course was quiet on a day with nice weather which says quite a bit.
If in Bradford hollins hall is more expensive but a much better course in every way albeit a bit hilly.
Crosland Heath Golf Club
Played On 03/20/2020Incredible
This course is amazing. It looks the part, excellent conditioning and if this were in north Leeds rather than in Huddersfield it would be £50-70 a round.
It’s really quirky, never boring and lots of memorable holes. Definitely the best course for around £20-30 in West Yorkshire- Well done Crosland.
Horsforth Golf Club
Played On 03/20/2020Good value
Paid £10 so can’t moan as it was excellent value. Course was very wet and grass long but the weather in Leeds the last 6 months was to blame, no fault of the club.
I love playing Mackenzie courses- but this isn’t the most interesting and at times is a little dull. Some excellent greens (credit to the greenkeeper) but there are several courses in Leeds in this price range better.
A couple of nice par 3s but too many bland par 4s for me
Seaton Carew Golf Club - Old Course
Played On 03/19/2020Great course
If you are a golfpass member use your £25 credit on the hot deal at seaton. It’s the best £25 hot deal on golfnow. Top 100 course for a reason. Very friendly pro and nice shop, can’t work out how many course layouts there are and why they change them in this way (22 holes?) but that’s a quirk of the place. If you live in West Yorkshire this is the best links close by- check it out.
Manchester Golf Club
Played On 03/19/2020Course of two halves
Ordinary front 9, then it gets very good indeed. If you’ve played Hillside this is a similar situation. Some great holes on the back 9 and well worth playing. £25 is a bargain.
The pro shop had some excellent deals on balls, sleeves of 3 high end balls for around half of retail price so check those out
Fulneck Golf Club
Played On 07/16/2020Not the best
Average layout, decent enough greens. Much better than roundhay but not as good as Rawdon as nine hole courses go in the area
Low Laithes Golf Club
Played On 08/19/2019Great value course
Low laithes is a nice course and excellent value at around £15. I highly recommend the course.
