Baildon Golf Club Review ⛳
With Sunday tee times at just £28 including a breakfast sandwich and a post-round pint, there aren't many courses within 10 miles of Leeds offering better value for money. 🧵
Not only is it a great deal, but the course is consistently in excellent condition, with smooth fairways and well-maintained greens.
Accuracy off the tee is essential. Stray too far from the fairway and you'll find thick heather waiting to punish any wayward shots, turning a good scorecard into a long afternoon.
Standout Holes
Hole 2- A short par 3 framed by an impressive rock formation. Miss the green in the wrong spot and you'll be left playing a delicate flop shot up the slope to recover.
Hole 5- A driveable par 4 climbing uphill with a blind tee shot. The walk to the green is rewarded with stunning 360-degree views across the surrounding countryside.
Hole 15- A long par 4 running alongside the road. A well-placed drive leaves a downhill approach that naturally feeds towards the green and presents a great birdie opportunity.
The Verdict
The only drawback is the practice facilities. There's a short driving range, but it requires a walk down from the first tee, and there isn't a dedicated putting green.
That aside, Baildon is one of Yorkshire's hidden gems. It offers excellent value for money, unique character, and a genuine test of golf where strategy and course management are rewarded.
Yorkshire Tee Rating: 8.5/10
