Great course

If your thinking about playing here definitely do it, course is in great condition, the greens are fantastic. Only thing I really can’t comment on is the pace of play as whenever I’ve played here the course hasn’t been to busy infront so haven’t had to wait for anybody. The layout is great, it’s like 2 courses in 1.

Enjoyable Round

First time playing this local course.

Very friendly greeting by easy going staff.

A quiet time of day made it a relaxing round. I really enjoyed the greens, layout and fairways

Plenty of challenging obstacles which included a deer on the fairway

A lovely piece of cake with my coffee in the clubhouse.

I hope to play there again next week

Nice course worth a visit but slow pace of play can be an issue

Course was in fairly good condition considering the heavy rain that it received the day before with only a few areas of grass that need some attention to bring them up to full summer season condition. The most significant issue that we encountered was very slow play by a three ball up ahead of us that had several groups including ourselves backed up behind them from start to finish - considering the fact that all of them were well under the age of thirty they should be somewhat embarrassed that they had the over fifty's standing waiting for them (and out distancing them) on every hole....

Worst pace of play.

The course is long and hilly so be prepared for that if you’re visiting. If you can’t handle the hills get a buggy or don’t turn up. The pace of play was the outright worst I have ever experienced on a golf course. 2 groups waiting to tee off on every hole. By the time we got to the 13th there was 3 groups waiting to tee off, at this point we walked off the course. The course itself was in great condition.

Good Value

Good value, great views, nice layout, but can be hard on the legs!

One or two great holes and a couple of iffy ones!

But well worth a visit.

Lovely afternoon in late autumn sunshine

Booked late - never a problem at Garesfield. As always a lovely welcome from all at the club. Course in wonderful condition. The autumn colours are truly magnificent on this course. It feels like every tree has a different colour. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the 13th is one of my favourite golf holes in the NE England. Really enjoyed my afternoon. Highly recommend this course.

Great course

Fully enjoyed my round. Great mix of holes, lots of blind approach shots that certainly give you a good test. Great layout, a few decent sized hills but I don’t mind that, gives you a good workout

Tough round

Enjoyed a round at Garesfield golf course in windy conditions.. course was dry due to recent weather and a few of the greens required some attention. Overall a good few hours spent being challenged by wind, layout, length and various gradients of the course. Will definitely return

Great course in poor condition

Usually love this course, always really quiet so easy to get a tee time and get round, it’s a challenging round and always really friendly staff and groundskeepers! The course is usually in a fantastic condition.

However today I am somewhat disappointed in the course conditions, a lot of the fairways are absolutely bone dry and in a lot of areas it was like playing off gravel which meant it was difficult to keep an accurate score. The greens which are usually in fantastic condition were in several places full of divots, and the fairways themselves, if not totally devoid of grass, were unusually uncut in several areas.

I understand that we cannot help the weather and lack of rain hasn’t helped but I think charging full green fees when the course is in a bad condition is not correct, perhaps a discount could be applied until the course conditions are improved.

Still a good round, love the course layout and staff and members are always lovely and welcoming. But will be avoiding for now until the course conditions are somewhat improved.

1st time on the course

Great course with great holes, could do with a bit of a tidy up with some of the fairways, greens and surroundings but great round of golf, some tough holes and local knowledge comes in useful
