Great course , one of my favourite places. A little soggy in places but that's to be expected.

Enjoyable course

First time I play this course. The course is not very long, but offers a good amount of variety. Overall the course is in fairly good condition. Still winter tees, a couple of temporary greens, still some muddy patches here and there. Should dry up further in the season.

Got a very hearty welcome from the staff and some of the members playing ahead of our group. Despite them being a couple of foursomes of veterans their pace of play was very good.

All in all a very enjoyable round. In the shortlist to become my home course.

This course is ideal for me

Having recently moved near to Boldon golf course I booked a round with my buddy. We really enjoyed our round then went into the club for a beer and sandwich. Staff and people were so friendly. The whole place had a pleasant and comfortable feel about it. Come April I will apply for membership. Boldon will be my new golf home. I am so looking forward to it.

January tough conditions

Cannot complain at 8 quid via Golf Now.

Forward tees probably had the course playing only 5,000 yards.

Very cold late on with increased winds.

Too many winter greens on and the normal greens were very bobbly.

Disappointed bar was not open after our game as we needed a hot drink we were freezing at end.On A Saturday afternoon you would of expected it to be open

Pro was friendly and helpful

Need to play it again when in better condition towards summer.

Played very well score wise 39 points.

Great Value for the time of year

First time playing Boldon GC despite passing it frequently, booked on. Hot deal for £8 each so definite VFM. Course was in good condition considering the recent weather and time of year, some winter greens on and mostly winter tees in play.

Only downside was the pace of play which seems to coincide with the majority of reviews posted.

Will definitely return for another round.
