Wortley Golf Club

Course was in very good condition considering the recent weather. Staff and member welcoming and pace of play great. I play here again and recommend to anyone.

Played on a Mon late am by which time most club players were out on the course but no hold ups. Hadn’t played this before and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the course and condition of fairways and greens, especially given the time of year. I was carrying and found the undulating terrain quite tiring but my playing partners had trolleys so had no problem. Nice clubhouse and friendly staff. All in all great value and highly recommended.

First time I'd played Wortley,, but I'd definitely come back again. Really interesting, undulating course...no two holes the same.

Lovely classy, peaceful course

Diversity of wildlife on the way round, would recommend it to any level of golfer.

Great course lots of variation,thinking mans course greens excellent for this time of year and tricky.

Staff very friendly and helpful will return again for sure.

Summary

Well maintained course, good challenge and a good nature walk

Managed to get a hot deal £17 a head including fee, definitely a bargain

Location and wildlife

The course is leased from Wharncliffe estate which means it is surrounded by trees and hence wildlife. At this time of year there's an abundance of pheasants, squirrels and even the odd stoat

Course Layout

The course is well laid out with only a couple of points where it is advisory to hold off from teeing due to proximity to other holes - no holes cross one another or feel dangerously close. The woodland is very mature but the holes are not excessively tight so you are not overly punished unless you hook or slice severely. The holes are laid out across a hillside and some have significant rise or fall from tee to pin, you will notice walking particularly if you are carrying!

Condition

The course was in great condition considering recent rain. It was clear that the greens keepers had been extremely busy (many were working as we went round). There may have been a recent or upcoming competition as clear fencing and markings were out for GUR wherever the course was too soft.

Difficulty

This course has a good variety of distance, elevation and obstructions to make it interesting and challenging for me as an irregular, high teens golfer.

Members, facilities

There were precious few people on the course but those we met were friendly. The facilities are all in good order, and food is good value. One drawback is that the practice area is a bit of a trek

Excellent course apart from the greens had recently been hollow tined leaving the surface very bumpy.

Would have been nice to have known this before I booked as it took away the enjoyment of play this course.

Booked in with ease with the professional. Course in very good condition, greens had been top dressed but we're very true and good to putt on. The round took a little longer than expected due to a hail storm, snow and rain. Would love to return later in year when weather and greens in top condition but overall excellent value.

Interesting parkland , 8th and 18th very testing uphill par 4's.
