Lovely course

The course was in excellent condition. Especially after the amount of rain we've seen recently.

I love the layout and the challenge is reasonably fair.

It's also very good value

Very nice layout

This course has a lovely layout and some excellent holes. The greens are very tricky, and a practice putt at the beginning unfortunately gave the impression of being a lot quicker than the actual course.

Still, the round was enjoyable, even if I didn't play my best.

First time at Durham City GC

Course was in great condition with excellent greens which were tricky, consistent and fast. Staff friendly both in the pro shop as well as the clubhouse.

Will return to play again in the near future.

Superb course

We try to visit this course every year though we are members elsewhere.

The conditions were incredible considering the months of rain. No standing water, bunkers, greens and fairways in great nick.

Looking forward to the next time already

Great course.

Considering the weather we’ve had over the past few months this course played really well. The fairways have held out really well. I can imagine this course to be really good to play during the hot months and I will certainly be returning. There is some holes that really make you think about your club choice which I liked.

Winter Golf

Courses throughout the North East struggled to open their doors to members and visitors alike during an unprecedented November period of torrential rain, however, Durham City opened its doors and conditions were more than acceptable with all greens in excellent condition, drained and open for play. As visitors we were provided with a wealth of information prior to our round by John in the Pro Shop and the Bar Staff were more than welcoming post round.
