What the club says: Each hole is very individual offering challenges to golfers of all abilities.
Whilst many fairways are tree lined you are unlikely to lose your ball if you stray into them as the grass is kept short. Greens have true putting surfaces playable all year round.
The two loops of nine holes each start and return to the clubhouse and numerous points on the course allow you views over Wakefield and the surrounding countryside.

Most Helpful Review
Fabulous course. Greens need a bit of water. A few bare patches on the greens but over-all very good. Fairways are excellent. Need to hit the ball straight. If you get in the trees, just come out sideways .... no heroics. Can't wait to go back.

Michael B rated 5 out of 5 - May 27 2017
- May 27 2017Excellent course in very good condition. Really enjoyed the par 3`s which were very playable, loved the 2nd hole as it was deceptively difficult to work out the yardage. The tee shot on 5 is very tricky for a player that likes to draw the ball and there are a few water hazards which can easily catch you out, particularly the approach to the 6th green.

- Oct 29 2016I had the privilege of playing as a guest of a friend who is a member.
Previously I have only played at council run courses, which are of a really good standard, however when you play at a facility like this, the step up in grounds keeping is really noticeable. The fairways are cut really low and the greens are like snooker tables! Fantastic course, really warm welcome - can't wait to go back!

Graham F rated 5 out of 5 - Jul 4 2016
- Jul 4 2016Very nice, This must be the best golf course within the Wakefield
area, the greens were very good fast and true, the fairways were also prill.
Played in a knock out and won, so yes i would say it was good but it is.

Doug P rated 4 out of 5 - Aug 21 2015
- Aug 21 2015Course was in very good condition with greens that were reasonably quick. My only complaint was that the sand in some of the bunkers was very compacted making splash shots nigh on impossible, certainly for higher handicap players.
The course is reasonable test and whilst not the longest around, it does require you to think your way around.

JTB - Bradford rated 5 out of 5 - Sep 16 2014
- Sep 16 2014Played the course on a Rabbits Open in September.
One of the best courses I've played. Challenging, varied holes, tough par 5's, fantastically lush fairways and deep, fluffy rough.
The greens were recently dressed so the sand made them quite slow and difficult to read but that's a timing issue rather than a condition issue.
I would play there again in a hearbeat.

Richard G rated 4 out of 5 - Jul 28 2014
- Jul 28 2014A good course, well kept and not a tough walk. The greens were very well kept but could have done with utilising the sprinkler system a bit more. You don't expect to have to drop a ball 20yds short of a green to make it stay on when playing a parkland.

Martin W rated 4 out of 5 - Jun 8 2014
- Jun 8 2014Fairly flat course, rough isn't rough at all. Rough is kept relatively short and there are alot of parallel fairways to land on if you go past the intervening trees. Plenty of sandy bunkers.
Friendly club. Couldn't see any road signs pointing to club though.
