What the club says: The club which was established in 1893 is 6370 yards long from the yellow tees and is a test for golfers of all abilities. After our recent re-develoment in 2008, we now offer an excellent championship golf course with the finest practice facilities in the county. The stunning views over the Silkstone valley towards Emley Moor and Cannon Hall enhance the experience of playing a round or two of golf in such a beautiful and relaxing setting. Thanks to our dedicated greens team, this impressive course is in the best condition it has been for many years.

All l can say is it was our loss for not playing there all those years ago.
Even as we drove in we were amazed at how good the course looked.
We went to book in at the pro shop and made welcome and told we would enjoy the course ... He was not wrong... Probably the best course l've played in this area without a doubt.. My advice is give it a try .. you will not be disappointed.. 10 out of 10 ..John

Beauty of a course...faultless!!!
Played today (Friday 26/5). Made to feel welcome from the minute we entered the pro shop ( unlike some nearby courses). Everything in excellent condition. So big thumbs up to the green keeping staff. I have always liked this course but never seems to like me ( see score!!). Even though I had a bad round...i still thoroughly enjoyed it..Even the 19th hole is in a lovely position. Big thankyou to all concerned with the upkeep and running of the club. Would highly recommend and definitely will be playing again this year ( if price is right). Thanks again SilkstoneReviewer Rating

good course in poor condition today
work being carried out on the greens with 6 of them being temporary ones and the holes drilled in the others were deep and wide causing the ball to veer off in all directions and to make matters worse we were not warned about them nor was any reduction forthcoming from the full visitor price even when we complained after finishing the round. we will obviously not be playing there this yearReviewer Rating

Best in the area
Well presented tee boxes, nice fairways, true greens that are quick. Plenty of challenging holes, first nine a little tougher than the back nine. Best course I've played this year. The club has a good size putting area, chipping area and driving range. The pro shop is well laid out and staff are friendly. Great day out and will be back soonReviewer Rating

Very nice but difficult course
Haven't played Silkstone for about 3 years (due to covid and increased prices). But managed to get a good deal due to time of year. Wasn't disappointed. Course in excellent condition (par 3' tees on mats)Greens very firm and fast. I like the course but unfortunately the course doesn't like me (hence my score) but enjoy playing it on the few occasions we go there. Would say it is not boring or any easy holes which makes it very challenging. So not for anyone looking for an easy round. Made welcome by everyone we met and would recommend .

A brilliant course with a challenge for all levels of golfer
This has to be the best course in the area. Wonderful scenery with great views from the elevated tee boxes . You are playing onto wonderfully manicured greens which are true and firm. This is a wonderful course and the warm welcome when we finished in the club house.Reviewer Rating

Excellent parkland course with stunning views
Course was in excellent condition. Greens, some of which are very small targets, run very true some with subtle breaks, others not so subtle! Need to be below the hole. A stern test if your game is not on point on the day, but birdie opportunities if playing well.Fabulous views of the surrounding countryside from all around the course.

Excellent course, one of the best in Yorkshire. Greens excellent but a premium in staying below the hole - downhill putts very quick. Superb condition today - stay straight to remain in play as the rough is long in places. Fairways well maintained and running well.Reviewer Rating

Great course, very hilly.
Course was in lovely condition, lots of holes have severe slopes across the fairway which makes it tricky. Keep to the fairway as the rough is unforgiving.Reviewer Rating
