South Shields Golf Club

Booked the night before because we got a decent tee time not to late.

Played this course a long time ago so I forgot the course lay out on a couple of holes it was difficult to know where you were aiming for. However enjoyed the game apart from that.

I will definitely be going back.

Played this course for the first time on 11/07/26 and thoroughly enjoyed the course itself. A good test of golf with a good variety of different hole types. Course layout almost tricked me when I almost teed off on the 14th instead of the 5th but for the most part I couldn’t complain. The main thing which I didn’t enjoy was the attitude from other members. I was playing solo and a two ball in front of me asked if I wanted to play through. I told them no thanks as I was enjoying the course and was more interested in shooting a good score rather than picking up my pace to play through. This was met with a foul attitude but I let it slide. I let them pull a bit away as no one was behind me, but I caught up with them by hole 7 when they lost a ball. They then proceeded to shout and swear at me in telling me to play through while they were stood in the middle of the 7th fairway, and then kicked off even further when I had done what they asked, saying I was rushing them (which was definitely not the case). Will be putting a formal complaint in to the club.

A good test for your average golfer but forgiving enough for a beginner.

Friendly staff that showed us around the course (my first visit) and allowed us to tee off early in a gap.

Some great views of Tyne & Wear along the course.

Definitely give this one a visit 👍🏻

The course was in average condition for our round with greens, bunkers and intermediate rough all in need of some minor remedial attention to bring the course up to full summer season standard. Not sure on what planet a group of members (playing as a 5 ball) think jumping across from the 5th onto the 13th isn't going to annoy other players but that's something for the club to address as they see fit. The course has some cracking coastal views to the North and South from the upper tier - if ever it is re-modelled a new club house at the South East end of the course accessed from Lizard Lane would make it one of the most scenic in the UK.

Course in great condition for Time of year. Greens consistent and fair. Bunkers difficult and some need more sand, otherwise all good.

played many times before and its not to the usual high standards...paths look messy, greens were poor and looked patchy...roll was bumpy on 80% of the greens. looks like the whole course needs a good watering. although the green keeper did water the 15th tee box and waterlogged it just before playing the hole, would this not be better to do first thing or last thing at night.

would play again if it was on a hot deal but not for £31

course was in excellent condition with no complaints

Hi the issue for me is the fact that the booking of tee times needs looking at to many consecutive 4 ball and 3 ball one after the other instead of placing 1 or 2 ball in there and rejecting the tee time asked for as it just slows the whole course down to a stand still.

Played at Whitburn a few times and always looked over the wall and thought we should play there. I wasn't disappointed, course is in great condition and the greens were lightening fast for this time of the year. Bit windy but you can't control the weather all in all had a great time on a lovely course and would love to come back.

First time playing south shields and it didn't disappoint. Course conditions were very good. The wind was wild but didn't dishearten. A nice atmosphere in the clubhouse, and a lovely pint of Guinness to finish off the round. Looking forward to returning for another round.

Beautiful setting, sea views from Whitley Bay to Hartlepool! The course was well maintained. Bunkers were tricky being steep and fairly dense. Weather was lovely but as it's exposed I'm sure the wind normally blows which would transform the challenge. Open fairways and nice undulation lead to good scoring. Clubhouse is very nice with a better than expected menu. Will definitely go again

Some challenges and varied course. Fast greens and fairly wide fairways. A few ‘dog legs’. Very friendly members. Excellent value for money.
