Had my wedding here earlier this year - I wouldn't even give it 1 star but that's the lowest possible rating! There were several issues on the day which I will list below:
They promised a master of ceremonies - this never happened so there were no announcements during the ceremony, the wedding breakfast, cutting of the cake or first dance - this meant none of the guests had a clue what was going on all day.
The music during the ceremony was too quiet. You couldn't hear it when the bride was walking down the isle, the music during the signing of the register, and the walking out music. This was hugely disappointing.
We told the venue that the bride had a big dress so would need a wide isle - the isle was small and that resulted in decorations being knocked over during the walks down the isle. We also provided room decorations which were not used so were a waste of time, money and effort.
We also had money behind the bar which was not all used up and there being about £150 left. During the days after the wedding we were REFUSED a refund for this.
None of the staff were helpful when it came to distributing the cake, so none of the guests actually got a slice which is awful.
Members of the golf club were eating the nibbles we had provided before the ceremony as well which is totally unacceptable.
The Golf clubs solicitors got in touch and threatened us with court if we left a review - but we feel we have no choice as this is NOT a venue in which you should consider having your special day, as...
Read moreHad the most perfect send off at Shipley Golf club for my mum Rita Trickett on Sat 19th March 2022 Their Beckfoot suite is lovely, and their lounge has plenty of tables and chairs. It also has a spacious terrace with fabulous views of their green so we could sit outside. Alice Beeley was amazing and made sure every requirement was met, nothing fazed her even when 6 guests had to drop out with 2 days’ notice, she really is a superstar. She arranged to have 2 tables to make 1 large Memory table to display the flowers, plus framed photos, and a memory book for friends to sign. Their Bar had everything you could want, great service from their friendly staff and very reasonable prices. Their Buffet was all home made by their amazing chef: gorgeous sandwiches, mini quiches, slices of sausage roll, pork pies, plus scones served with clotted cream and jam. I ordered prosecco for the speech / toast which was handed round to each guest by their staff in readiness. Highly...

It’s all about the course and Shipley is a cracker. Interesting, fun, challenging, fair and in places very attractive, the 7th being very special. If it were my home course I’d be very happy indeed. Just a few niggles ( personal to me perhaps) which are. The 8th is just too hard for “average” golfers, not fun. The greens were woolly & slow but true and fair. A few of the T’s had tree branches protruding too far making it almost impossible for a draw.
Always a treat to play a McKenzie, Shipley no exception,...
