Valleys and Castles.
Super interesting course. Quality greens. Quality sand in bunkers. . Many valleys to hit over. Tricky par 3’s and long Par 5’s. Decent work out ,up and down hill in places, others connected by long bridges. Nice to have one green almost on the castle lawn.
It was alright at first..
Was slightly late because of road works and traffic, and on top of that a competition they had on alongside these tee bookings was ongoing over the top of our booking so we ended up having to wait 15 - 20 minutes for 3 sets of doubles to hit through messing up our pacing and causing half of our group to leave early despite paying for 18 the last 2 ended up finishing short on the 15th hole because the waiting had took the time off that we could of used for the last 3 holes so we had to skip them.
Wish I could get my money back but I guess we'll just never go again,
Wouldn't recommend for beginners and need to know the specifics if there is a tournament on before booking a tee time.
Golf course
Friendly staff and a really nice course , the greens are lovely with some outstanding holes
Lovely course for a late evening
Solid course and as a visitor was good fun. Some great signature holes firing over hilltops. Course in very good condition.
Excellent course
This is one of the best courses in Co Durham. My friend and I were partnered up with a couple of guys from the Manchester area who thought it was the best course they'd ever played.
The fairways and greens were in fantastic condition and although there was a society playing in front of us, the pace of play was brilliant. I only wish other society matches could do the same.
Definitely recommended 👌
Brancepth
Had a most enjoyable round, superb course with some tricky but enjoyable par 3’s first time playing there but will definitely be back
OK course
We booked on golf now was worth £26 we paid not £40-45 asking price. lovely par 3s but wouldn't say it was a stand out course compared to other local courses. over all was a well maintained course few tricky par 3s and greens were well .
As brilliant as I remembered
I played brancepeth years ago and I brought my mate who’d never played it. I bigged it up somewhat and my gps it did not let us down.
Absolutely love the layout and variety or holes. We git in on a hot deal and laid £29.99, worth every penny.
We will be back very soon 🤩
Great course
Loved playing this course. Very challenging but great at the same time. Had a bit of everything. Great conditions for the time of year. Scenery was out of this world. We will definitely be back to play here again in the near future
GolfNow should know when green maintenance is happening and tell customers.
GolfNow should know when green maintenance is happening and tell customers before taking their money. This is an issue for GolfNow
Virtually all winter greens.
Pro shop staff didn’t inform that second hole was closed.
On other days though the course and facilities look like they would be excellent. Issue is with transparency of GN.
Brancpeth castle golf course
This is a negative against a very good golf course,when i booked,there no mention of taking your ball off the fairway and playing from the side rough,6 winter greens and some 100 yards short of the proper greens and similar will winter tee boxes to far forward,thus not a game of golf,payed £20,worth,£14.
Gem of a course
Played Brancepeth for first time and whilst conditions were wet and 3 temp greens it was an excellent test and some great Par 3 holes playing across ravines - all in all well worth a visit if your in the area. Staff very friendly and gave us some tips on the layout before going out.
Great golf course one of the best in the northeast
Amazing but tough course
Played this course at the end of December. I was expecting loads of winter greens but in the 18 holes only 1 was on winter green.
The tee boxes were all the winter tees but they were placed to still make each hole a challenge.
Staff in pro shop were welcoming and friendly
The bar area was open and the bacon roll & coffee was well priced for a club house and served by very friendly staff.
The course was busy but everyone seemed very pleasant.
I was shocked at how good a condition the course was in bearing in mind the weather we have had recently. I can't wait to play this course again when the weather improves to see it in its perfect state.
