Located near Castleford, Whitwood Golf Club is a golf destination that offers a wide range of services and facilities for both golfers and non-golfers alike. Constructed on the site of the old Whitwood Colliery, the club opened its doors in June 1987 and has since become a thriving hub for golf enthusiasts in the Yorkshire region.
In July 2012, management of the club was officially handed over to the Groundwork Wakefield Trust, ensuring its continued success and growth. Thanks to their dedication and expertise, the course has been transformed into one of the finest examples of modern golf design in the area. It offers a challenging yet enjoyable experience for players of all abilities.
The golf course spans across undulating terrain and recently had new tees built over it in winter 2018. It now boasts a Par 70 layout with 6,099 yards, providing a diverse range of challenges for golfers. With strategic fairways and well-positioned greens, it offers a rewarding game no matter your skill level.
One of the unique features of Whitwood Golf Club is its 9-hole Footgolf Course, opened in May 2016. It is the first of its kind in Wakefield, adding another exciting option for visitors. Footgolf is a hybrid sport that combines the rules of golf with the skill of soccer. No special equipment or clothing is required, making it accessible to everyone.
Aside from the golfing amenities, Whitwood Golf Club boasts a welcoming clubhouse that provides a warm and inviting atmosphere for all visitors and members. Whether you're in the mood for a refreshing pint or a cup of freshly brewed coffee, the clubhouse has something to suit every taste.
