Brilliant course

This was the first time I have ever played here and I’ll definitely be back. There are some superb holes, some long some short but a lot of them require a bit of thinking about instead of just trying to smash it down the middle! The course is in great condition and I cannot wait to play it again.

Loved it

Interesting and challenging course but it was one I would love to play again. Highlight was the par four 4th 254 yards downhill all the way just drags you into going for the green and I was successful with one of the best drives I have ever struck to find the green.

Chap in the pro shop was very helpful and very customer friendly.

No Buggys

After receiving a courtesy round as there was a Durham seniors comp on at my home club i rang Boldon pro shop to book a buggy as i have a health problem and unable to walk the course.I was told that they only had a few buggys and they were booked,i was not offered any alternative time to play and use a buggy when they became available so therefore could not play.Very disapointing service.

First time but not the last

Played solo, but never stood a chance of being played through. Just over 4 hours for round. Realised why when I saw 4 members spend over 6 minutes looking in rough for a lost ball - only reason it was not longer was that they found it. I later learnt that there was a comp on that day, so he should have declared lost ball after 3 minutes. I better he never marked his card for the penalty.

A few bare patches on a couple of greens but overall the course was in very good condition.

A couple of unusual holes with mounds/ rough breaking up fairways making club selection interesting

Great course!

First time playing Boldon, really enjoyed the course a good mixture of long and short holes. The practice area could be sign posted better. The nets on the practice area for driving were loose (not a big problem but things like this getting fixed would really improve the look) Some of the greens were a bit bobbly but this is understandable with the amount of rain we have had this month!

Will definitely be returning here! The staff were very friendly and I spoke to a couple of members who were very welcoming.
