Silkstone Golf Club

Lovely course in great nick and good value for money. Really welcoming staff. Greens were excellent. Would fully recommend

Gave this course a visit yesterday for the first time after hearing decent reviews. The club is clearly selling out and it won’t be long until their members vote with their feet. Took nearly 5 hours to play our round, waiting in every single shot from the first tee to the last. Booked out too many tee times, too close together and let a visiting party run riot. Running to the bar on the 9th for more drinks as they go round and continue holding people up, no control whatsoever.

Course conditions average, the edges of the green not cut at all.

Positives:

Great views

Interesting holes & layout of course

Very friendly club and clubhouse/facilities

Negatives

Greens /tee boxes, course conditions only average

Probably overpriced

Maybe I have been spoilt by some other courses this year. When Northcliffe is £30, Otley £27.50 and Selby £35, which is the same amount I paid here, Silkstone is not in the same class. Shocked that this course is £50 a round on its main website and that membership is nearly £1500 with a £300 joining fee. That is way too much and this is a course worth only £25-30 a round in my opinion.

The sort of place which could be amazing but needs a bit more TLC and stuff. The greens had some sort of white fertiliser on them and ran ok, but just not smooth enough overall. Several bunkers GUR which is probably not a great sign for a course. It's an up and down terrain but not overly hilly for a Yorkshire course.

It's worth a visit, but don't pay over the odds

Played here as a single. Really easy to book and get sorted at the start. I think the course is beginning to recover from the heat of the summer but overall in good condition and the greens are very true and receptive. Although the course was very busy i still got round in just about 3 hours which was great. Would definitely recommend!

After a summer of sun,predictably the fairways were hard but the greens were superb although we didnt manage to get the hang of em. A stern test and im sure it would play a lot different after a bit of rain. Thoroughly enjoyed the challenge after a few pointers from the very amiable pro shop. Looking forward to playing it again under different conditions. 10 out of 10🥵🥵🥵

The course was in good condition; especially the greens; they rolled true and consistent. The course is pretty hilly with lots of sloping fairways which can penalise a good drive. The two par 3’s over water on the front 9 are standout holes and were my favourite on the course. Overall an enjoyable round with friends.

The facilities are good, and the pro shop is friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing due to the tail-end of a fiddle which was oblivious to anyone on the course and behind them. As members (I am a member elsewhere), you would think they would know how to 'ring the bell' to notify the player/s behind. Appreciate I was a single player, but this shouldn't preclude you. Anyhow, walked off after 8 holes as the group in front was looking like a 5 hour round, when they actually hit the ball.

Note: Do not book on a Wednesday at midday as you'll be in for a long one!

This is an excellent course that offers a great variety of holes. It provides a good test with sloping fairways, excellent greens, and features some hills and water hazards. The staff and members are friendly; one member even joined me for the first nine holes. I would definitely play here again and am even considering becoming a member.

Lovely course, first time playing here and will definitely be returning. Very hilly but makes the course a good challenge, great condition. Not the fastest pace of play but the course was quite busy so that’s totally understandable. Not got a bad word to say about the place really, definitely worth the money if your thinking about a visit.

Played on a Saturday afternoon. Course was not too busy so got round in a buggy in under 3 and a half hours as a two ball.

Course is really well laid out with some good challenging holes and tricky greens. A good test of golf.

The staff were really friendly from the Pro welcoming us to the course to the Bar staff.

I will definitely return to play again when in the area.

Used to be a midweek member here but that was many years ago and the course has changed out of all recognition.

Very good test of golf and course in very good condition apart from litter on every single hole. This is my massive bugbear about golfers today - there are bins for those too lazy to put the empty bottles/wrappers/packets back in the bag they brought them out in. Just as bad are the rest who walk past and don’t see it. Please if you’re too stupid to use a bin, find a different sport.

This is well worth £23 and was a lovely sunny afternoon.

Greens in exceptional condition after all this rain we've had hole link together nice few water features great course to play

Lovely course, great layout, you can see in some places it’s been a struggle with all the rain, but which course hasn’t. Best greens I’ve played for some time, all in all a great course I that I will return to.

Played this course for the second time and will play it again and again. It is in magnificent condition,. Tremendously varied with each hole interesting and varied. Drives are not difficult but you need to be on the required side of the fairway to have a shot at the green otherwise a bogey beckons. I took 3 friends who had never played it before and had praised it so much I was worried that they would be disappointed but no they loved it as much as I did. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, as were the members when we got lost on 2 occasions
