Would recomemd

Great course, second time playing here. Great layout with some challenging holes with well placed hazards and long par 3. It was a quiet day when I played so no slow play and I got round in 3 hours. It was such a shame that they were sanding the greens so all the greens had a thick layer of sand making putting incredibly difficult. Other than that the course was in good condition

No winter greens

One of the few courses in the area that had full greens open due to recent bad weather but they were in great condition for the time of year.

Course was in decent condition except for the frozen greens but that’s to be expected playing in January and the chance you take. Would happily return anytime and play again.

No complaints at all about the whole set up, it’s a real quality golf venue.

Windy day

Great course. Playing off winter tee’s so a little shorter. Greens in great condition. The wind made it a challenging day but didn’t distract from the amazing course. Recommended.

Great Course But...

I love Longhirst. It's home to two phenomenal golf courses. My personal favourite is The Lakes but The Dawson is also great. I travel a long way to play here but was disappointed when I arrived to find out that they didn't accept card payment in the clubhouse and I was unable to buy any drinks or food. By the end of the round I was absolutely shattered. I never thought in 2022 that I couldn't pay by card payment. I even asked if there was a cash machine and the answer was no. I'll know for next time though. Well worth it for the golf course.

Hi, at the time of your visit we were changing our card provider, so for a few days we had no card payment option. This was on signs at the point of sale, and we are sorry that you had a bad experience. Please pop me an email to info@longhirstgolf.co.uk

Lovely layout and immaculate greens

A lot of rain recently and despite a little soft on top the course absorbed to rain really well and still run on the ball. Faultless greens. Long course even from the Yellow tees and enjoyed playing again, even though my scoring below average but my partner played well. Great to have 2 courses on one site and playing the Lakes on 26th.

Great course

Absolutely delight of a course. From start to finish. Everyone was really friendly and welcoming. The course was really busy but we didn't have to wait tee boxes. Will definitely be back again. Plus I didn't lose any balls compared to the lakes course haha
