The course has great features
First time playing this course and found it to be one of the best in Durham. Course has a great lay out with difficult par 3s. Unfortunately a lot of maintenance had started on the greens with one green off altogether but this happens at every course around this time of year. Would recommend this course but anyone who is unfit to hire a buggy.
A good time
We had a good time although there was a bit of a traffic jam at the par threes.
Lovely challenging course
The course was generally in immaculate condition. The highlight for me were the fantastic long Par 3’s of the 9th and 10th holes.
One disappointing area were the greens. Their was no consistency in the speed of them and this varied from hole to hole.
A rather long day stuck behind a competition but otherwise a really enjoyable course and one I would certainly play again.
Brilliant course
Really good course, I’m new to the game so found it really challenging, but still enjoyable.
Tough but great
Course played tough. Strong wind but course superb greens really true. Always a good place to visit
Great Track
Have been meaning to play Brancepeth Castle again for some time. From arrival to departure I was not disappointed, Pro Shop Well stocked, course in very good condition with the greens a big plus. Drink afterwards was perfect in nice sitting area outside. Overall extremely pleased and would recommend.
Great test of golf
The greens were superb, very quick with some of the slopes the putting was a real challenge. The course has many fairways with undulations which meant an element of luck with the carry. The bunkers were fair. We throughly enjoyed our game. Give it a try you will not be disappointed
Pride of the north east
First time playing at brancepeth for best part of twenty years. I had forgotten How good it was. What a gem.
Excellent course
Course in immaculate condition, members very friendly, will definitely play the course again.
Excellent course
1st time playing and loved every minute , fantastic condition, greens were perfect , amazing views & surroundings on the course , giant old trees , churches with ancient graveyards, a castle , ravines & bridges , just an excellent setting
Outstanding
This golf course exceeded all expectations. I have played 5 exceptional golf courses this year and Brancepeth is definitely the best of all of them (beating Fulford in the process) Cannot wait to play this course in due course of time..
Best course I have played in a long time
This course is a good test of golf physically and mentally. From the tricky holes to the tricky hills you have to walk up and down. The whole course was in fantastic condition and the greens were fast but not too fast. If you struggle with hills and prefer the more leisurely side of golf a buggy is definitely recommended. I can't wait to play this course again.
Classic
This is a must play for any golfer, worth the money for the view's alone!
