Garesfield Golf Club

Played at very short notice, enjoyed it again, some really good holes, very quiet, greens I thought excellent, my putting at times not so good tho, really enjoyed my 2 rounds at this course, would highly recommend it.

First I need to make it clear that Garesfield is a good course & club that I would usually thoroughly recommend to anyone. However, the club has a serious problem with the new "the bunker" holiday cottage - during our visit it was clearly being used for the consumption of cannabis - the smell coming from the premises was quite significant both when we arrived and when we left the course - for this reason (bearing in mind that the club is a family orientated venue) I simply cannot recommend that anyone visit - the club needs to address the issue VERY QUICKLY which may include closure of the cottage if it cannot be managed properly. The club also needs to be aware that some players are current serving police officers.

When I first played this course, the mature firs lining the fairways were saplings. 50-odd years ago! They certainly act as a wind-break, which is some relief. There’s now 18 holes rather than the old 9. The fairway turf is thick and lush underfoot, just don’t expect your ball to fly out of the second cut in places!

It’s a true test for the walking golfer. Lovely parkland, testing greens, great views.

We don’t get back that often but we’ll always try and complete this rite of passage, for as long as our legs will continue to carry us round!

Some really interesting and challenging holes. Course was in great condition. Greens hard given the time of the year and little rain but very quick and nice to putt on. Some blind approaches which make it challenges for first timers. Sunday lunch after was fantastic especially for £10. All staff were lovely. Would definitely return

Live played here several time and. It’s a very lovely course.

We thoroughly enjoyed our round on Sunday and from arrival were given a friendly welcome, advised on tee off timings and who was around us and sent on our way. The weather was perfect, not too hot and the rain stayed off until the 18th.

The only difficulty of this course is the umber of hills, therefore those who struggle on a general 18 hole course should request a buggy.

Lovely afternoon for golf despite torrential rain shower when I was slogging up the hill at the 12th. Staff friendly as always. Course in great condition. Flew round front 9 then got caught up from 10th onwards - but not too slow. Really enjoyed it and I will be back

Met by friendly staff in the Pro shop , sorted and on the 1st tee 15 mins early. Played here before a few years ago and its definitely improving . Only one small downside were no stakes and very few distance markers .

Good weather and scenic views made the round enjoyable.

Will be back .

The course was a lot drier than last time I played and in fantastic condition. Greens were very firm and fast. Fairways in great condition. The 13th is one of my favourite holes in Northumberland. Was treated to a red kite following me down the 5th - magnificent.

Played early June and course was in great condition, which is testament to the green keeping staff after the poor Spring. Greens were lovely - true and good pace. The holes wind through trees located on a hillside so holes have impressive elevations and drops meaning a drive hit with the same power can go either 180 yds or 300 yds depending where you are. The first few holes are pretty straight and good warm up holes. But after that there's more to the course. Lots to challenge you but plenty of room for the wayward. Staff were really friendly. On the day we played (Friday), there was no one around until 11am to serve food, which was fine for our 11:30 tee time but you may want to check for earlier tee times. Overall absolute bargain for money.

Fairways covered in cut grass.tee boxes need a cut.must b fit to play here very hilly at times.greens in great knick.

Course was very wet and fairways weren’t cut short in many places. Greens were better and bunkers were fine. As it’s quite a long course and very undulating, it was a hard round and we both played below average.

Have played this course before and really enjoyed 18 holes this weekend. As always staff very friendly and welcoming. Course on great condition and only damp in a couple of spots despite heavy overnight rain. A lovely relaxing Saturday afternoon - just what was needed after a busy week at work.

Cracking day, first time playing at Garesfield and we really enjoyed it. Only downside was all the greens were winter greens but when the normal greens reopen they should be absoutley spot on. Had pretty much a clear course in front of us the whole way round until the 18th hole. Lad I played with 'Dan' nearly drove to one of the greens from his tee shot but then went on to 4 putt it so the less said about that the better.

Will 100% be back to play this course again. Guinness was tremendous in the clubhouse

Really nice course will be returning in the summer

Great round of golf for our first visit. Pretty much had the course to ourselves so got round in a good time. Only downside was it was winter greens but the majority of them were in good condition. Will 100% be back. Shagger Dan nearly got to the green on a par 4 off his drive. 4 putted it like but the less said about that the better. Guinness was tremendous in the club house

Only played 9 holes, but good value at GolfNow price.

Still had proper greens on all holes except one. Course was in good condition considering recent weather.
