Baildon Golf Club

After having a session cancelled earlier in the day, expectations were initial low of actually getting a game, however the course was open so off we went.

Overall the course was in ok condition considering the majority of courses in the area were closed due to water logging. The green were in good condition with only a couple of fairways suffering from standing water.

First time playing so shot selection was tough, so will defo be making a return visit when conditions are slightly better. Ensure accurate tee shots sounds like obvious advise but the rough is totally unforgiving and almost impossible to play out of, the fairways are wide enough to give you a chance though.

Really enjoyed playing
Need to be quite straight otherwise lose your ball in the heather

Played as a visitor - third time. Given the recent poor weather, the course has held up very well with standing water in isolated spots in a handful of fairways. Greens in great condition - tees a little worse for wear - they have rotated tee boxes to preserve. However we have had a wet October and this course is still full playable in November.

My only gripe was how my request for leaving a backpack (was travelling) somewhere in the clubhouse was met - the lady mentioned members lockers....but yet she said they were for members...so why did she make mention of this, if I couldn't have access to these lockers as a visitor? The resulting round was very difficult, carrying my already heavy bag and a backpack round, in heavy conditions...up the severe inclines of the fifth and fourteenth in particular.

If you want to make visitors more welcome, accommodate expected needs....provide a few lockers somewhere in the clubhouse.

Great course, great layout, very challenging. It isn’t a very forgiving course but that’s all part of the challenge and course management, go greedy, get punished (potentially). Would highly recommend playing here. I’ve paid more for worse courses and views. Held up well even after all the rain, will definitely be visiting again soon.

Best value course I’ve played in the Leeds area, and also one of the toughest in a 30mph wind. Possible to lose a lot of balls in the tall grass which isn’t far from the fairway, which made for a fairly slow round. Still, it’s very different to other courses in the area, a lot of fun despite the difficulty, and the staff were excellent.

Played on the baildon caurse recently and wasn't disappointed. The greens and fairways were in great conditions. I would recommend this caurse to other golfers , great value for money.

Fantastic course, played in a 4 ball and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day. The views are spectacular!

I found the caurse short but challenging. The greens were in good condition. The staff were friendly and all round good value for money.

Excellent value, interesting, well kept course. Good for improving golfers, great views.

We chose a windy day to play at Baildon.
Despite the relatively short course, the wind protects it .
Greens were pretty good, fairways average.
Better signposting would assist a newcomer.
We were literally “blown away” with the fabulous views all around the course.
Would play it again……when the wind drops!
A slope of about 125 would have been more appropriate.

Ridiculously difficult if you're more than a yard wide

Highly reccomend this course, kept stopping to take pictures of the scenery around! Some great holes with a few high tee box to low greens which I always enjoy particularly the short par 3 at the start.

I turned up around 5ish when the pro shop was seemingly closed so bar guy just told me to go out, couldn't get a pull trolley but was happy carrying.

Few of greens were a bit suspect and pace wasn't consistent but nothing too bad, general course a lot of fun. All fairways are lined by thick links like rough so accuracy is important, I lost quite a few balls to start but whilst searching found more so ended up +1 on golf balls after 4 holes!

Played baildon few times now love the course tough fairways to hit and rough is hard to get out of its a good challenge greens good condition definitely recommend.

Wild and wonderful course. Very unforgiving, stray off the fairways at your peril. Course layout markers could be inproved. The greens were inconsistent and a little woolly. For the price bracket this course falls into it ticks all the boxes. Very enjoyable course though very strenuous and taxing.

Very nice course, good for driving a long distance
