Leeds Golf Centre

Set in Shadwell, neatly between Leeds and Harrogate, Leeds Golf Centre is a proper no-nonsense option when you want golf that's easy to access and friendly from the off. A multimillion-pound investment has freshened up the place and it shows, with a modern feel, solid practice areas and a set-up that works whether you fancy a quick pay-and-play round or you're looking at a subscription.

If you're new to the game, you won't feel like you've walked into a stuffy members' club. If you've been playing for years, there's still enough going on to keep you honest, especially if you're trying to score rather than just have a wander. Add in coaching and practice facilities and it's a handy base for an improving golfer who wants to put the work in.

It also makes sense logistically. You're close to Leeds city centre, not far from Harrogate and well placed if you're piecing together a Yorkshire golf weekend and want something flexible for mixed-ability groups.

On-site you've got the essentials covered, with a clubhouse for a bite and a drink afterwards, plus a pro shop for the bits you always forget.

Who is this for?
Beginners, improvers and mixed-ability groups wanting welcoming, flexible golf between Leeds and Harrogate.

Who is it best for?
Pay-and-play golfers, coaching-focused players and societies who want value and a relaxed atmosphere.
