Longhirst Hall Hotel & Golf - The Dawson Course

Played the Dawson. It was in good condition except for some of the tee boxes that were effectively dry earth without grass. Fairways and greens were excellent. Greenkeeping staff a little inconsiderate talking on phones and doing jobs around the green when putting but presume that is a one off.

This is one of the best clubs that I have pkayed. The other course this club offers, The Lakes, is outstanding too.

Staff are very friendly, welcoming and helpful

Food is tasty and affordable.

Thoroughly recommend this course, and The Lakes.

There was people teeing off behind us hit my friend on the back and then ran off course. Before this happened we had 4 later tee offs right up our back ends just walking through teeing off before us not even asking if they could play through. Took us 3.5 hours to do 9 holes with all the people on this course aye would never recommend this to anyone booking on golf now as tee off time does not count to the members on this course obviously

Nice course in excellent condition . Greens were lovely .

Excellent Course well maintained and definitely Value for the Green Fees.I would recommend any Golfer who's in this Area to play this Course. If I'm back in this area I will definitely be Back and give the lakes Course a shot

Had the pleasure of playing today in the mining engineers competition.

Have played early in season when the greens were just back on from the winter.

Today the course was immaculately turned out with easy defined fairways.

The green were starting to bloo. But were excellent a d true.

Ive played a few courses recently and these were up with the best.

Fabulous golf courses with two 18 holes in great condition. There's also an excellent driving range with tracers on all bays with a huge chipping and bunker practise area.

Modern clubhouse with food and drink at affordable prices.

Played the Dawson course today, and found it beautiful. Extremely well presented with the greens rolling lovely. Playing lakes next week. Would definitely recommend.

Played a few courses while up here on holiday for Easter, this was the best we played. All the courses we played were struggling for growth, but you can see this place was ready to burst into life. A great layout and unbelievable views. Reminded us of Celtic Manor 2010 course. Can’t wait to return and play the other course in the summer.

Courses is good considering the footfall but the greens are in below average condition.

Played last week, and whilst the greens had just been tined, we had a great day. Further improvement today on our 36 hole day out , and were rolling very nicely. Looking forward to returning in two weeks time, and probably picking up a membership with the guys we play with.

I've played here quite a few times in the past as my mate lives in the area. From a distance the course looks great and it does have a good layout. The course and the greens weren't in great condition. The faurways were a bit patchy and your ball nearly always seemed to stop on a patched a dried earth. It looked like the greens had been hollowtined but they weren't in great condition. Somewhere worse than others but it wasn't a great putting experience. Hopefully will improve with the weather. Disappointed this time out.

The greens on the Dawson Course are in a very poor condition. They are very bumpy and uneven.

Course in very good condition at the moment - our game was slightly spoiled by slow play up ahead which added circa 30 minutes to our round but it gave us a chance to stand and admire the scenery and wildlife. Note that lots of birds are currently nesting and will soon have young ones - please bear this is mind when hunting for balls especially if near any of the wetland areas - if any of the geese come pestering for food just clearly tell them that you have nothing for them and believe it or not they will actually go away!

First time playing here , the course was in good condition , found the layout good , will come back again , and I would recommend to my friends .
