Not so G.U.R ate…

Played here last year and what a difference. Wow… it’s went downhill. Enjoy the layout with some nice holes but pace was so slow and the course was in bits. Definitely in need of some TLC, I know this place gets hit hard with bad weather but it’s in the middle of golf season and there was G.U.R everywhere, fairways, bunkers, rough and the greens were not great either. I really hope it improves soon as it’s a course I like to play every now and then.

Very enjoyable 18 holes

A very pleasing parkland course with a few water hazards running thru the course.

A pleasant, helpful professional in pro shop. A very impressive club house serving a varied selection of beers, well worth a visit.. Staff & members are very welcoming.

Friendly welcome and looks stunning

Really nice welcome with informative and friendly instruction from the pro shop. Course was really nice and drying out nicely but the rain we’ve had has obviously taken its toll. Very enjoyable round though and will definitely be back.

HIDDEN GEM

Lovely course, almost completely flat, lush fairways n the greens were immaculate- looked fab n ran true. You think your out on the country but your only 10 minutes from Newcastle City Centre. Hot Deal round £18 which was a steal honestly. Looking into possible joining as enjoyed the experience so much - cant fault it & hoping to play it again this week !

Great course

The course was in absolutely fantastic condition and the pace of play was good.

Challenging course but not ridiculously hard.

Excellent value for money and well worth the 1and half hour drive north.

Given the opportunity I would play there again tomorrow

The fairways were like playing out of the rough there were no markings to let you know how far from the pin and you have to look at the map on the back of the score card to find the next tee off plus they had sand and holes on the greens yes I know we have had some bad weather but I’ve played a few different courses over the last couple of weeks and none of them had this done.

I did speak to someone who was a member and he says it’s been a bad winter this year that’s why the course is looking bad as I say I played at Ryton last week and the course was spot on. I am going to have another round in the summer to see how good the course is

Excellent condition during winter

Played late February 2023, and found the course to be in really good condition. Club has simple winter rules in place to protect the fairways and approaches to greens and tee boxes. Compliments to the pro and greens teams for maintaining the course, and keeping the greens in such a wonderful condition, well cut, managed and running true. Slower groups in front allowed me to play through without hesitation, and a good day out rewarded with a good score. will visit again

Too many greens off made it a bit of a slog in a field
