Yes its still 36 holes, the courses themselves are excellent since they put in proper drainage systems.
I was once playing a few years ago on the hole which runs alongside the road which leads to Temle Newsam house and some little bugger run out of the trees nicked the flag and burried it in the bunker :lol:
Possibly the strangest golf course in the area, I know someone who was a member there, he was a single handicap player, could have had his pick of any golf club in Leeds - he chose Gotts Park to join, on the other hand he was an idiot in many other ways too.

My first ever round of golf was there and I found it very easy Id hate to think how easy it would be now that I have been playing a while I think i would tear it apart
Of all the municipal courses I always liked Roundhay and the fact that it was only nine hole just made it even better to learn on when you get two goes at each hole - thinking about it most of the nine holes are different to each other and you get a good range of challenges as a beginner.
Apart from bunkers - for practice on playing out of bunkers you have to blag a round one day at the members club in Skegness, its a links course with half the holes built INTO the sand dunes, bunkers so deep that they provide ladders to climb down into them - a man could die in there and no-one would notice - I once went into 22 bunkers in one round on that course

22 I played at Temple Newsam last week 36 holes in the day and I managed to stay out of the bunker allday, just wished I could have stayed out of the stream aswell because I went in 3 times
I like Roundhay too but i havent played there for about 3 years, I think I may have to take a trip up next week
