Course Highlights
Brancepeth's layout consistently impresses with dramatic par 3s over ravines, signature hilltop drives, and a memorable hole near the castle lawn. Friendly staff, well-maintained fairways and greens, and strong value make this one of County Durham's top courses.

Fabulous course

This is one of the best courses I've played in recent years. The setting is stunning and the course layout fantastic (but it's not what I'd call one for high handicappers). Even though we had a massive downpour for hours before the round, the condition and playability of the course was still great, with the greens a real standout.

This is a somewhere I'll definitely be visiting again.

Great golf course

Considering it was the back end of a bad winter - the course conditions where great and well kept!

Challenging course definitely will be back.

Looking tired

Nice course layout. Friendly staff. Unfortunately the course and facilities are looking very tired. Greens were terrible, bunkers poorly maintained and just a general shabbiness about the whole place.

Such a shame for a once great set up.

Nostalgic return

I was a member at Brancepeth as a junior so I was looking forward to returning to my old club. The weather was excellent but unfortunately it was a bit of adissapointing return. The staff were friendly and welcoming but sadly the place from clubhouse to course is looking very tired. The course condition generally was dissapointing. Greens were very poor, bunkers in bad shape, tee boxes shabby. Appreciate the time of year but in comparison to other courses its not the course it used to be. Lovely course design sadly let down.

Superb layout....but

Have played Brancepeth Castle, a few times now, and keep coming back for a reason. Superb layout, condition and facilities.....but, pace of play was painfully slowly. Just me playing, and stuck behind a society playing in about 5 x four balls. To be fair to them, they did approach me and explain, so no point getting let through. After 9 holes & 2.5hrs later i called it a day. Did also speak to a member playing a two ball and they weren't happy about pace either. Shame, but will play again as love the course.

Very well set up with difficult holes and fast greens.

If one complaint it would be hole signs to next hole
