Reviewed Aug 30 2017 by Timothy L - rated 5 out of 5 The most friendly pro shop and members I have experienced.
We had a great day at Shipley GC. We paid £20 PP via tee off times. Sometimes we are made to feel like second class citizens in pro shops. Not here. We were welcomed and this was the stand out aspect of our experience. The members were equally welcoming both on and off the course. The course was beautiful. We did get a little lost in places when moving from greens to next tee. Absolutely loved the high proportion of par 5s and par 3s. Both me and my playing partner felt we could score well as a result. Brilliant day.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Jun 2 2017 by Phillip V - rated 5 out of 5 A must visit course
Hidden in a valley and surrounded by hills and trees. There are not many distant views from this course but when the course looks this good, you don't need any other view.The practice facilities are undergoing a revamp and when complete will be marked an excellent. A well kept course with an equally well kept clubhouse. The facilities are excellent and well worth a visit, even if you have to travel far. You won't be disappointed.(Round played: Jun 2017 - Score: 82 Handicap: 12.4)

Reviewed Jan 21 2014 by JTB - Bradford - rated 4 out of 5 Played this course on a winter deal and despite the hard frost enjoyed the round.
The winter tees shortened the course somewhat (helped my score) and there were two temp greens in operation.
Beautiful course, tricky approaches to greens - seemed like every green was well guarded. Loved the abundance of par 5's and 3's as that contrasts nicely with the usual back-and-forth par 4 courses.
Only downside was the tendancy to hit driver on all holes bar par 3's. I tend to really enjoy courses that make you think from the tee and vary your 'drives'.

Reviewed Oct 8 2009 by Simon W - rated 5 out of 5 Shipley is one of the best hidden gems in West Yorkshire, a true test of player & course management. A tremendous parkland course that has 6 par 3's & 5 par 5's it challenges & delights equally. The McKenzie designed course has very fast greens & magnificantly kept fairways throughout the year. The signature par 3 7th is simply stunning, probably the best par 3 in the area. Although a bit pricey for some it really is worth playing if ever near the Bingley area. Clubhouse & proshop are both very friendly, I cannot recomend enough.

I've been playing at Shipley GC for 4 months now, the course is always well prepared and the membership very welcoming. The course is fairly flat and easy to walk but is very challenging and unusual in that it has 6 par 3s, 6 par 4s and 6 par 5s.(Round played: Sep 2019 - Score: 96 Handicap: 25.8)

Reviewed Jul 10 2018 by Richard Middlewich - rated 5 out of 5 Lovely course
Played here with our society on a Sunday morning. The course was in excellent condition and the greens were quick. They were receptive if you hit the ball in to them. Bunkers were well filled with sand and overall the place was in really good condition. A lot of par 3's & 5's which is interesting. Some of the 5's are reachable in 2 giving excellent birdie opportunities. We'll certainly be returning again next summer. Friendly staff and a lovely club.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Jun 10 2016 by Mark P - rated 5 out of 5 I think from my recollection of the club's website that this is an Alistair McKenzie design, and it is stunning. A beautiful parkland course, with a real mixture of par 3, 4 and 5's. It gets quite tight towards the end, and apologies to the club captain and his party for my errant tee shot on the 17th, which went across their green (very embarrassing). The par 3 7th is a beautiful hole, but wicked if you go left (I did!). The members were fantastically friendly, the course is visually stunning, and I'm so glad I took the time to play a round here. If you're in the area, put this course on your list, you won't regret it, I promise.
