Nice Course but Savage Rough
We played this course just before noon on a Sunday, the course was in nice condition but they have let the rough grow deep just off most fairways. Coupled with a lot of blind tee shots and a strong wind. this made it very tough. The unnecessary rough just frustrates the average golfer and slows the whole course down. It took us 4.5 hours as a 2 ball and there were 8 people waiting on every tee.
Good course, well kept, but difficult layout at times
We’ve played Barney a few times in the last couple of years, and we’ve always found it relatively challenging but well kept and a joy to play. The abundance of little streams and becks throughout makes for a good challenge if you’re long off the tee, and the bunkers can be nasty traps.
The layout at times can be difficult to grasp - without a map on the scorecard, finding our way from 5th to 6th was a real difficulty and the signage isn’t the best. Really could do with a map on the scorecard, especially as quite a few tee shots are blind and I think it would really improve our experience.
More attention to detail
Currently there is no retained professional so the club shop was sparse with just a counter with a till and a few sweets and drinks. The course was in average condition the rough had been cut but the cuttings hadn’t been collected so looked quite untidy in places. The greens had been hollow tined a few weeks ago and so weren’t at their best and were quite slow which was understandable however there was still alot of sand around the outer edges of the greens which was a problem when trying to play a pitch and run onto the Greens. The members must be praised for repairing their pitch marks as I never saw one on any of the 18 greens. The course was very quiet and as a 2 ball we were never held up and completed our round in under 3 hours. Excellent clubhouse with friendly bar staff after our round.
Barney Castle Sundays
Never let’s you down this course as always brilliant with excellent layout, members and staff always friendly. Wish I lived closer as would be a member 100%.
Couple of negatives was the pro shop closed and greens not in there usual excellent Condition.
Terrible greens. No pro shop open
Played here many times and this was by far the worst. Greens in terrible condition. Very heavily sanded - almost unplayable. Pro shop closed. No staff on hand. Not sure what’s going on - this course used to be a favourite of mine.
Course was a good set up good condition
Apart from they had sanded the greens just before played an was really thick might as well of been putting in bunkers
Pristine Condition
Fantastic round of golf here on Friday. The course is in superb condition. The greens were immaculate. Lovely to see so much wildlife around the course.
Would definitely recommend.
Great course layout.
Had a great day at Barny, lovely sunny afternoon with a touch of wind to make you think, great layout, the stream meanders through the course and comes into play so many times.
A lovely Bonnie course with staff so friendly, made us feel realy welcome. We'll be back real soon. Thanks guys.
Lovely Day's Golf
We booked through GolfNow and was surprised no staff available at 11 on a Sunday . Course was in really good condition and enjoyed the game.
Great at out
Worth the drive from Newcastle, really good course and lucky with the weather too!
Lovely course
Great course in lovely condition, most par 3’s were off the temp mats & still a few temp tee boxes in play, but needs must to keep the summer play in good condition. Overall a lovely course with a gorgeous beck flowing through most of the holes to keep you on your toes lol.
Definitely can’t wait to go back, well done to the team.
First Day to open after floods!
The Pro was so kind and went that extra mile to ring and advise us that due to the recent floods, only 12 holes were open. (Even though we booked through Golf Now which was a 3rd party., so he didn’t need to.
Such a lovely man, and I’d just like to say if everyone was so conscious about their job, the world would be a much better place.
Thank you Martyn,, you are really flying the flag for Barnard Castle Golf.
By the way, the course was in great condition, so were the greens, what flood?
We’ll be back, without question.
Cheers, Martyn
