Swamp golf
Played the course many times and a former member, however, the course was severely waterlogged and almost unplayable. Played 18 just, course should of been closed,. Expensive course to play as a one off, unjustified for this particular course. Greens were terrible which is not normally the case
Very muddy
As a whole the course was very wet and muddy, including the tee areas and the fairways. I lost several balls in the middle of the fairway and around greens, probably plugged deep in the mud... Frustrating. Many temporary greens, especially on the back nine, which is understandable given the time of the year.
The course layout is not bad, though no really any outstanding holes. the course is rather flat so probably easy to walk when in dries up (hard work in the mud today).
Note this is the first time I play this course, or any course in the Newcastle area. So can't compare with other courses nearby yet. I just moved to the area an looking for a club to become a member. I will probably come back later in the season to give this course another go under better circumstances. For now it hasn't made my shortlist.
SHOCKING CONDITIONS
I NOT recommend any one playing here , early March and the course was ankle high with mud and water , every t off box was flooded,
Don't book here , waste of £22
Charging Full Price for Winter Greens is a bit much!
No mention of winter greens prior to booking I’m afraid. Weather has been challenging so understandable, however being charged full price and not making people aware prior to booking is very poor.
George Washington
Great Course with mostly forgiving fairways and a few characterful holes, great afternoon spent here and I will be back!!
Straight shots required
Very tight tee shots on most holes, no room for left or right. Nice greens mostly but last couple holes looked like birds had just been on and been picking at it. Overall enjoyed it but don’t think will be back as playing partners lost too many balls haha
Excellent value
Good facilities good course conditions. Staff excellent. Good value
Well kept
Well kept course, nice and flat. Played in good weather and the fairways and greens spot on
Poor
The course has great potential. However very disappointed with the very worn and uneven tee boxes, the greens are poor and unevenly cut. A bit of a let down as the clubs website claims to be one of the best course in the North East!
