Lightcliffe Golf Club

Lightcliffe Golf Club sits above Halifax in West Yorkshire, on high ground where the Calder Valley's mill towns give way to open Pennine countryside. The club dates from 1907, one of the many nine-hole courses that took root across the West Riding in golf's early expansion beyond the cities. Its nine holes can be played twice for players wanting a full round, a format that suits both a quick evening game and a longer outing at the weekend. Green fees range from £18 to £28, reflecting a course built for regular, unpretentious play rather than a resort experience. Halifax's steep, stone-built streets and its Pennine surroundings mean courses in this part of Yorkshire tend to sit on rolling or elevated ground, with long views back over the valley on clear days. Lightcliffe's position on the town's western edge places it within easy reach of Halifax and the surrounding Calderdale towns, making it a convenient local option for golfers across the district.
