Hollins Hall Golf Course
Shipley
Set within 200 acres of rolling West Yorkshire countryside, Hollins Hall Golf Course is an 18-hole, par-71 championship layout enjoying panoramic views across the Aire Valley towards the Yorkshire Dales. Combining mature parkland with the natural features of the farmland that previously occupied the site, the course provides an attractive and varied test within easy reach of both Leeds and Bradford.
Opened in 1999, the course was designed by Ross McMurray and makes good use of the undulating landscape. Rather than relying on length alone, Hollins Hall challenges golfers with changes in elevation, strategically positioned bunkers, water hazards and large, undulating greens. Traditional features including old stone walls and mature trees have been incorporated into the layout, helping the course retain plenty of character despite being a relatively modern design.
Multiple teeing areas are available on each hole, allowing the course to provide an appropriate challenge for golfers of different abilities. From the back tees it stretches to more than 6,600 yards, while shorter tee options make the layout more accessible for higher handicappers. All of the tees and greens have been constructed to USGA standards, while the course operates without dedicated winter tees, helping to maintain a consistent playing experience throughout the year.
One of the standout holes arrives at the par-four 14th, known as The Viaduct. Played from an elevated tee, the hole asks golfers to negotiate fairway bunkers, a dogleg and water hazards before approaching a two-tier green. The historic stone railway viaduct provides a distinctive backdrop and helps make the 14th one of the most memorable holes on the course.
Hollins Hall also has tournament pedigree, having previously hosted events on the PGA EuroPro Championship Tour. That history reflects the quality and challenge of the layout, although the choice of tees means visiting golfers do not need to be low handicappers to enjoy a round.
Practice facilities include a driving range equipped with Toptracer technology, giving golfers the opportunity to warm up before playing or spend additional time working on their game. Golf carts and dedicated buggy paths are also available, while the clubhouse and golf reception provide convenient facilities before and after a round.
With its sweeping Yorkshire views, championship credentials and combination of natural and strategically designed hazards, Hollins Hall Golf Course provides an enjoyable parkland challenge. Together with the adjoining hotel and leisure facilities, it is particularly well suited to golfers looking for a convenient stay-and-play golf break in Yorkshire.

About The Area
Bingley is a strong West Yorkshire base for a relaxed UK golf break, especially for golfers who want countryside, heritage and easy access to Bradford, Leeds, Ilkley and the Yorkshire Dales. It has a proper Yorkshire market-town feel, with the Leeds & Liverpool Canal running through it and the famous Bingley Five Rise Locks giving the area a standout visitor attraction. The locks opened in 1774, have a total fall of 60 feet, and are Grade I listed.
The main local golf option is Bingley St Ives Golf Club, set within the St Ives Estate, around one mile from Bingley town centre. The course is an 18-hole layout that moves through parkland, woodland and moorland, giving golfers a nice bit of variety rather than a plain back-and-forth parkland round.
There is good nearby golf too. Shipley Golf Club, based at Beckfoot just outside Bingley, is described by the club as a challenging course in a quiet wooded valley and was designed by Dr Alister MacKenzie. Bradford Golf Club at Hawksworth adds another quality option, with heathland golf and views towards the Aire Valley.
Away from golf, Bingley works well for canal walks, St Ives Estate, Saltaire and easy Yorkshire exploring. Saltaire, nearby on the River Aire, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the area’s best cultural add-ons.
For Hashtag Golf Travel customers, Bingley is best suited to a Yorkshire golf weekend, society trip, or a scenic short break combining golf, countryside and heritage. It is not a resort-style destination, but it has good local golf, easy airport access and plenty of proper Yorkshire character.
