Longhirst, more like Parkhurst prison
Booked this round but was not told one of the courses was closed due to a county competition so everyone was on the lakes course, so i ended behind a log jam of 4 balls, as i need a buggy due to a heart condition things were painfully slow as you arrive at your shot much quicker than walking so i gave up after 5 holes., a very rude young man on reception shrugged he's shoulders and more or less said tough, their are lots of courses in Northumberland this one will never be visited again.

Superb
Great course, great greens and a tricky layout. Don’t let the short yardage fool you, this is a very testing and tight course that doesn’t require a lot of drivers to be used. A thinking mans course.

Hard Greens!
The greens have all but dried out, clearly not watered, no stop on them and needed to play bump and runs in rather than anything high as the ball bounced just as high. Other than that, there’s a driving range, two courses so you can get on but wait til it after it rains and it needed a deluge!
