Skipton Golf Club

Other than a few bobbles on the greens today everyone should play Skipton at least once in their lives. Stunning setting with its own 'Amen corner' and the warmest of welcomes from the Pro.

Just an absolute joy although the price is likely to rise with summer around the corner.

A very welcoming club and good value. The course is set against a stunning backdrop of the Yorkshire dales with some brilliant holes. Course condition about a month ahead of other courses we've played recently. Highly recommended.

After reading all the good reviews about this course we were very excited to play. Our tee time was 9am. We waited until 8:55 and we still didn’t see a single member of staff/pro/greenstaff. So we just headed to the first tee. We rang up twice during the week to check the course conditions, both times we were not informed that only 16 holes were open and fairway mats are in use. The greens are in great condition. Overall we were disappointed with our visit and lack of advertising for the two closed holes and use of fairway mats. After a 1hr 30min round trip we won’t be visiting again.

Skipton was an enjoyable round. Having got out before a rabbits match, we were able to play at our own pace. The course was very well presented, and the greens were running true.

While not the longest course (all the par 5s for this player reachable in two), there is a lovely variety of hole, with my favourite stretch been 15–18: a short narrow dog leg par four where a good drive leaves a chip on to a green guarded by a stream, returning over the stream to a mid length par 3 from an elevate tee, then to stroke 1 longish par 4 (again dog leg). Finally a deceptively ultra short par 4 up the hill to the club house.

Special mention to the greens which are full of slopes and borrows.

Fantastic reception at the pro shop on arrival.

The course is in great condition and a real challenge in the most fantastic setting. Just a joy!

This is only the second time playing the course.

We had food prior to playing in a lovely friendly bar, the food was really ggod.

The pro shop staff were happy for us to play 30 mins earlier too.

The first hole looks ominous a long par 5 welcome to Skipton. A challenging 4th with a very high green.

Seemed like the front 13 had great fairways and greens and the back less so but still with great greens.

The course has great views throughout and great challenging holes which are really pretty.

Will be back but must try it in summer as i have only played in October and both times was wet grass but still played fantastic.

Great day at skipton, course was in great shape(well done to the grounds team) the fairways were cut perfectly which were quite forgiving, friendly pro shop staff very enjoyable day will be visiting very soon well done skipton

Stunning scenery on this very good course .lots of different shots to be played .as a bag carrier it’s not to hilly .the 16 th par 3 is a amazing looking hole .love to play the course again .had a cup of coffee with some members after they made me fell very welcome .

Decent round overall, friendly staff but a few things let it down in our opinions.

The facilities midway looked like they hadn't been cleaned in weeks, no loo roll, thick spiders webs etc

Some of the holes it was hard to work out where the fairway started and the rough ended. The greens were for the most part in excellent condition.

One of the later holes had so many leaves blown over it you easily lost balls. I found 3 others in the middle of the fairway while looking for mine. I get it's an issue at this time of year, but when you factor in some of the other fairways it just felt like it had been a few days since it was touched up.

You could see the course had undergone some changes over recent years, and a few holes were really challenging. I'm looking at you Par 3 over a stream surrounded by out of bounds which was fun.

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

On holiday in Kettlewell and looking for a great course then look no further!

Really friendly welcome. The course has undergone restructuring, but this did not detract from a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon of golf. There are some difficult holes to negotiate. The views are brilliant and the general condition of the course was very good. I would return to play again

Course in good condition despite long hot summer.Greens excellent.

Next tees not well signed causing problems for visitors.

Lots of steep green to tee walks

Layout completely confused sat nav

I would recommend but would not play again myself as lots of sloping fairways cause me problems.

Friendly members and nice restaurant
