Dave.

Redesign in October shutting end of October for 18 months to two years reason bunkers have no sand in most players carry full cans and packets if no bins try carrying them when empty until you come too one. It's not hard too do.

Good course but extremely over priced.

I haven’t played my local course for 4 years as quite frankly it was a disgrace the last time I played. With not a lot of time to get a round in I thought I’d give it another go. The course is actually in really good nick. Fairways are good, the rough is a bit thick but then again you shouldn’t be in there and the greens were running really well. Much like all the other reviews are saying, the bunkers are unplayable and I’ve found more sand in my shoe after a trip to the beach but the rest of the course more than makes up for it. The club was like a ghost town when I turned up for my 9.30 tee time so I couldn’t get a scorecard. Other small issues are the amount of rubbish around, lack of bins and lack of signs if you were a first timer playing there. The main downside was the price, £26 to play was a bit extreme. This course should be £15/20 at best. It’s such a shame as I like the course layout, there are some interesting holes and the club seems to have ironed out most of the issues regarding fairways and greens but at £20 odd to play there are many better options out there.

Much better than expected

After reading mixed reviews about this course I wasn’t too sure what to expect, however I was pleasantly surprised. The course itself was in great shape and the greens were very good. It was a great course and definitely one I’d recommend. It was a bit different as there are 6 par 3s, and the bunkers weren’t great but that didn’t bother us. The facilities and bar environment didn’t look the best so we didn’t take a look in there. If you’re looking to get straight on the course this is definitely one I’d recommend.

Decent course

Not a bad course fairways were really good and greens were ok although a little spongy. Tee boxes and surrounding areas could do with some care and the bunkers are terrible and don’t have sand in many of them. Overall a decent course especially for the £12 we paid, would play again!

Very Poor

No Sand in bunkers been like this for years.

Poor signage for new players.

Bins have been burnt down.

Grass needs cut in many areas.

No clubhouse or shop.

Course isnt well looked after, needs a lot of work, wouldnt recommend this to anyone for the price of 22 quid absolute rip off, should be 10quid maximum.

Much better

Only visited once in 2022, such was my growing disappointment in way the course was deteriorating. Visited today and the course was in much better nick. Everything trimmed back and the greens much better than some higher end local clubs. Club has obviously had issues with investments, but someone with a quid to spare could make this club into one of the best in the local area and sort the driving range out.

Much improved

After not playing the course in a while it was impressive to see it in much better condition than the last time. Tee boxes cut short, fairways in much better shape and the areas around the woodland a lot shorter and accessible for wayward shots. Clearly a lot of work has gone into improving the course and it’s notable throughout. Greens also in top condition, the only downside I had was that the bunkers were still short of quality sand and any rain meant they were GIR. The club shop/bar has also been unboarded which gives for a much more welcoming feel, hopefully Gilmore’s will be back open soon so you can grab a drink after a round. Great to see because the course and layout has so much potential

Good course , otherwise a ghost town

The course at wallsend is enjoyable and at £12 Was a great deal, however the club house is boarded up and looks derelict the course signage is all either rotten or has been graffitied on it.

We were told by the the “staff” that the toilets were out of order and when my friend asked well what do you do if you need the toilet he was muttered at again they’re out of order as she continued to watch a film on a laptop.

I don’t know what’s happening at this club but it’s a real shame as the course is decent but it’s not being properly maintained etc
