Wonderful View of Castle Photo submitted by Dunelm22 on 02/03/2017
Great casual round
Lovely course with some challenging holes. Will definitely be back to play again.

Very well set up with difficult holes and fast greens.
If one complaint it would be hole signs to next hole
Lovely course! But rude arrogant pro
Great course for a great price layout was fantastic and all in good condition but as for the guy in the shop, what arrogant rude person. Everything felt an issue to ask! Avoid the shop
Branspeth castle
Fabulous scenery, many varied holes through some fantastic landscapes.
Lovely slick greens.
Very testing course that does need some good tee shots.
It is a long/ testing walk if you are anything other than fit and the club only has 9 buggies on offer so plan ahead in that score.
Stunning golf course, beautiful setting and the course was in immaculate condition. The greens read true and excellent condition.
Cracking Course
Course is one of the best in the North East. Some vey difficult holes for the high handicaper but still very enjoyable.
Great day
3rd visit to the course as a beginner it’s definitely challenging but worth the effort. Greens are in great condition. Members and pro friendly and helpful
Tough par 3’s at Brancepeth
Course in good pre-summer condition – greens slightly inconsistent but will doubtless improve shortly when the better weather arrives. The course is challenging and fun to play but not one for beginners or those trying to get back into the game after a long lay-off. The course includes a quite steep ravine running across some holes – there are a couple of 200 yard par 3’s which are especially tough if you aren’t 100% accurate off the tee – if you come up short or miss the green it knocks the wind out of your sails and can easily result in one or two dropped shots and associated penalties. In most instances the yellow amateur tees are almost the same yardage as the white medal tees which adds an additional challenge for the casual player.
Do not play on a Sunday ( too slow)
Do not play on a Sunday took us 4 and half hours in a 2 ball, stood waiting to play every single shot, no one lets you play through. It’s a real shame as it’s a lovely course but for £40 the pace of play is embarrassing, at one point had 3 different groups waiting to play a par 3
Very good course
Helpful pro.
Both of us struggled mainly with so many bunkers on the course,was in good nick although greens had just been sanded.Excellent par 3s.A lot of scenic walks over bridges above ravines.Course was probably playing tough as still March.
Last few holes the rain got us.Bar staff and members friendly enjoyed after game drinks which we needed!
Very good course recommended.
