Winter Greens and the 8th hole closed

A nice course to play during the summer months, but too many temporary greens/tees and one hole closed when we played.

Great New Years Eve day out

My friends & family four-ball on New Years Eve here at Barnard Castle has now become a regular event. The course was great despite the recent rain fall, the staff welcoming, and no winter greens or tees made for a wonderful afternoon out. We fitted in 18 holes despite an 11:40 tee off time and everyone agreed to regroup again next year if we are all still here! Winter or Summer in my experience you always have a great time at Barny. Go and see for yourselves.
