Darlington Golf Club

I like to try new courses and due to the excellent price of a round at Darlington Golf Course a friend and I booked.

The weather had been fine for a while and so I was surprised that we were instructed that we had to use winter fairway mats. Apparently this is the rule up until the end of March. This ruined the experience slightly as the course was in great condition for normal play.

Despite this we had an excellent day. The holes were all great fun and the shared green was a new experience. The pacing wasn't great as we had someone right behind us waiting all the time and we had to wait for the players in front to be done. This happens sometimes I guess. Overall I had a great time and will be visiting again.

I booked this to have a nice day out with my son first day with sunshine and first time out this year and at this course was enjoying it for first 3 holes got to 4th tee or what I thought was the 4th tee then was approached by a member saying that we had to keep up with play and that we had already missed out the 3rd to which I said it was my first time playing the course and that there was no signs on the course no signs on the tees so I went back to the pro shop and explained what had happened the staff were very apologetic and asked if I would like to carry on with the round but I didn’t want so they said I could visit another time and play a round at a later tee time to which I agreed can’t fault the course or staff but as you say there is always ONE but really disappointing as was enjoying my day with my son

Even though the weather had been wet for a while, the course was in pretty decent condition and the greens rolled really well

Really good course unfortunate weather downpour. Had 3x fourballs ladies infront. Waited for 20 mins on tee most of back 9. No play through even on own. Not courses fault but really made it less rhythmic on my golf game. Definitely play again here but I will ask about comps beforehand.

Well designed course. Greens were in good nick for the time of year. Good practise facilities too.

I've played Darlington plenty of times before and always enjoyed the experience unfortunately the weather this year ( lack of rain , no sprinklers on fairways ) has totally destroyed the Grass growth making playing from the fairways very unpleasant the ground is rock hard and bare and for this reason I will not be playing Darlington again this year and I know a lot of courses are in the same situation but this could have been prevented if sprinklers were installed it's something that they should look into for the future.

Warm welcome in the pro shop, decent driving range onsite and very cheap 25 balls before the round. Clubhouse very welcoming and good lunch after the round. Course in good nick all round. Didn’t like the double green for the first and ninth. No standout holes really but a very enjoyable round of golf and some challenging greens.

Nice course in good condition and our experience should have been five stars but wasn't due to issues that are hopefully an unfortunate one off - our group and others were stood waiting on every hole (20 minute wait on the 10th) - the problem appeared to relate to what we understand was a members four ball that had everyone backed up while they larked around having an alcohol fueled round of golf at everyone else's expense. Note that several of the holes are well protected by bunkers, nearby o.o.b. and the greens are somewhat tricky which can frustrate - if this isn't your sort of thing then I wouldn't recommend that you travel any significant distance to play the course.

Cracking course. Great layout. Good mix of holes, all with something about them. Greens in brilliant condition. Paid £17.50 to play Saturday afternoon. Amazing value. Highly recommended.

Happy with. Course bit hard not sure if irrigation system is installed but good value

We enjoyed our first game at Darlington Golf Club and would definitely play the coarse again.

I've play Darlington probably 20 time in the past five years but due to an injury haven't been able to get out much the past year and this is only my second game of the year the first being slaley hall ( Heritage course ) which was in awful condition anyway back to Darlington price very reasonable £27.00 morning tee time

Proshop fully stocked balls , gloves and clothing and equipment

Staff extremely friendly

Driving range decent layout, very cheap large bucket 90 balls £4.50

Course condition Excellent fairways well maintained greens fast and true ball rolls perfect

Clubhouse clean with good menu

Overall very satisfied and will definitely play again this year .

Excellent condition always look forward to playing it

Cracking course. Great layout. Greens in good shape just a few weeks after being treated. £17.50 on a Sunday afternoon was amazing value.

What a great and well kept course. This is a gem of golf course. The fairways were in excellent condition, the greens are some of the best I’ve played in County Durham. Very friendly Pro-Shop staff and all in the clubhouse. Nice freshly made sandwiches and scones.

A must play for golfers of all abilities.

We were unlucky, we did not realise that we had booked our round on the day of an open competition. We played as a 2-ball, playing behind the last 4-ball of the day, so the round was painfully slow. Early morning frost meant the greens had not been cut, so they were slow and bobbly. We did not play the course at its best, but we wouldn’t rush back. The Golfnow fee was good, so overall it was reasonable value for money, but…!
