Darlington Golf Club

Greens were some of the best we have played the uniqueness of the course is the par 3 holes.

You could not fault the fairways and the members were some of the friendly we have meet while visiting other courses what really stood out was the variation of the holes well worth a visit if in the area

Great course, would definitely go back and recommend to others.

Darlington is a testing course for all abilities. Need to be able to shape the ball both ways. First cut should be shorter but fairways and greens are excellent.

Well looked after course,some parts of the course need to be addressed,ball cleaners dirty,no markers telling you where next hole is(mostly for visitors).

But besides a few issues,very enjoyable round of golf,greens especially.

No food on offer at club house!!!

Flat but not boring long par 3’s real test, overall very enjoyable

I have played DGC twice in the last couple of weeks. I like the course layout and the fairways and tee boxes are in decent condition. However the greens are very poor for this time of year and extremely slow.

I took me and my 2 friends just under 2.5 hours to play 9 holes. Absolutely shocking. A few weeks before that it was pretty slow as there was a competition on. However just because there is a comp on shouldn't mean slow play and holding everyone up. On the scorecord it states aviod slow play. This applies if there is a competition on or not. DGC really need to enforce this policy with people checking on the flow of the course or at a minimum put signage up a certain points around the course stating how long it should take you to reach certain points on the course depending on the group size.

I have recently began golfing again after a 12 year absence due to work restrictions making it difficult to play.

It was my first time playing Darlington Golf Club and I was not disappointed. It is a relatively flat course which was the main reason for me choosing it, as I need a right knee replacement.

I was pleasantly surprised with the course layout and it's condition. The greens were quick and the fairways wide and forgiving which made the round more enjoyable for a golfer of mid - high handicapper like myself.

Unfortunately all the buggies had been taken so I walked the course and am still hobbling 3 days later haha! but it is worth the pain to have the odd game again.

We hit a few balls at the range beforehand...about £1.50 for 25 balls I think. We didn't try the clubhouse so can't comment. The pro shop is small but has the essentials and our welcome was just as warm as the weather that day.

All in all I will definitely be returning, but only with a buggy next time haha!

I would have no problem in recommending it others.

Ps. The only thing I would highlight is that we did find a few people walking their dogs across the course unleashed at certain points, however it did not spoil our day.

Unfortunately all the greens had been worked so we had to play with temporary greens a feature that was not detailed on the app but I was pleased when the pro gave us a free return round

This was a lovely course. Great layout and well maintained. Very picturesque, with some very memorable holes. I'll definitely play it again.

Nice course with a decent layout. Back 9 is fun. Greens in great condition especially with the rain.

Boggy in patches but not to bad. Great value.

not sure if this place is shutting down? The greens were truly awful, bald patches, uneven growth and cutting. Layout was actually interesting however the condition was so poor, it hardly resembled a golf course.

Friendly enough staff however you can tell they are flogging a dead horse.

Bright and sunny with a chilly wind sometimes gusting strongly straight at you down the fairway leaving well struck drives landing short. The course was quite boggy in places and some rather shoddy temporary tees had to be used.

It's a well laid out course with some challenging par 5's and two very long par 3's.

Staff were welcoming on arrival and on departure. Did not use facilities so cannot comment on those on this visit.

Nice medium length course , friendly holes , few meaningful hazards
