Gosforth Gem

Had a another lovely round at gorgeous Gosforth, the fairways & putting surfaces were lush & green throughout & the greens not only looked immaculate ( well most of them did ) but they ran at z lovely pace & true to putt on aswell. It's a lovely layout at the Bridal Path with a good mix of oar 3 & 4's & theres 2 back to back long oar5"?'s on the back 9 aswell. There is a few holes with water involved either in the firm of pond area, a small running medium sized steam to z couple of cross fairway gully traps.The weather was a gorgeous bright & sunny day with not a breathe of wind. Some of the bunkers would benefit from a top up of fine soft white sand but apart from that everything else was great. The club pro ( Graeme i think ) was extremely friendly & helpful along with the members who all smiled, waved & said hello but I have always found it to be a very friendly place. Look forward to playing there again soon & i would definitely recommend playing here & at £19 inc booking fee through Golf Now it was for nothing so highly suggested you give it a try

Even better than I remembered

Hadn't played Gosforth for about 4 yrs but by God i wasn't disappointed & the happy moments of his good this course is came flooding back. The course was in fabulous Condition, iush fairways, good tee boxes but the star of the show were the greens which ran true, fast & looked in tip top condition. Weather was sunny & hot with the slightest of of breezes but I lived every hole & only paid £18 on a Golf Now deal so for a quid a hole more than worth its will definitely be going back again real soon with some friends who haven't played this gem if a course yet. It has a good mix of 3,4's & par 5's, the back 9 ( over the road ) is the longest part of the course & I saw wild deer running about the course which was lovely. If you get a chance please play it as you definitely won't be disappointed, can't wait to play it again soon.

£18 summer golf it was fantastic value. Every hole offered something a bit different. We had an early tee time so didn’t see in clubhouse etc but you are not too far from gosforth. Only downfall greens had just been sanded but still played alright.

Worth a visit

Really nice course - beautifully maintained and in excellent surroundings.

Unfortunately (due to recent weather conditions) there were a number of winter tees and greens and some restrictions on hitting from the fairway - but nonetheless - a great round.

Staff and members very welcoming and friendly in the bar afterwards. Would defo recommend a visit.

Value for money

Played by myself but met up with a friendly group of members who were nice enough to help me round but tbh the layout was easy to follow as I’ve played nee courses which were hard to navigate. Take away the lifting off the fairways s as no winter greens and it’s a course I’m looking forward to playing again when it all goes back to normal.

Disgusted!!!!!

Me and my friend William innes both booked through the golf now app the course was supposed to be in great condition and it was not you could not play the fairways unless you had a mat it was all winter course play and no one was adhering to tee off times we had 12 people onto of us before we got to the second whole so as a result of this we come off and went to parklands and had a great round ,WE WOULD BOTH LIKE A FULL REFUND ASAP
