Garesfield Golf Club

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.

Lovely course with some great views and challenging holes. Course in good condition considering the weather recently. Good pace of play as well.

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

Played before a year or two ago course in great condition greens great good test staff in the club house great food excellent will be back

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

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.

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

Lovely well maintained course. Some greens are significantly higher or lower than your approach shot. Some blind shots and some holes where you need to think carefully about what shot you’re playing. Enjoyed the whole 18. Will definitely be back.

Originally many years ago this was a 9 hole course . It was extended downhill through mature woodland . So it’s like playing two different courses as you go around with two sets of challenges. Never boring.

Pace of play great, very few golfers on course, weather was very hot. Let's of run on fairways, greens in goes nic, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Steep hills !! Not a course for those who have problems with health and fitness, I honestly have done easier hikes in tge peak district than playing a round on this course. That said the course is good, views are good and its a fair challenge. Worth the money.

First time playing, booked early T time on Sunday. Lovely layout, views and walk. Left a little disappointed by the quality of the greens considering the good weather we have had. Very inconsistent, some with disease, and poorly cut. Not worth £30 in that condition. Staff great & clubhouse.

Very enjoyable round of golf for our group but it was a good job that we weren't in a hurry as a couple of groups teed off very late on the 1st which backed the course up and added circa 40 minutes to our round. The course is currently in good condition and includes some cracking views from the upper tier and some interesting wildlife - it's no push over and it's very easy to mess your card up especially if you get a bit over confident 😉 Sadly the course is struggling for revenue at the moment due to a drop off in member & visitor numbers which is a real shame - from talking to other visiting players this appears to be due to the local authorities anti-car / anti-business efforts to deter people from traveling to the area by installing speed restriction measures on the the main roads from the North and South - some of the speed humps are so severe that you risk damaging your car if you try to take them at anything above walking pace which is totally ridiculous 🤔

First time playing this course and found it really good joined by 2 friends from Scotland and they were very happy with the bourse with a good mix of holes
