Newbiggin Golf Club

Got there early , as it was my first time playing there , pro shop let us get away 10 mins early , very windy and a bit sunshine, very flat course , fairways not in a very good condition , but the greens very fast and in excellent condition , the clubhouse was very nice and the staff very helpful .

Really nice course with good views staff are very friendly

When i started it was a bit misty, but soon cleared. The course is a great society golf day course. The greens were the best i’ve played on for some time. Well worth the money. I joined up with a guest and members who were all friendly and helpful, must include the club pro who was very accommodating.

Love going to Newbiggin .it’s link’s style is great without having to travel too far north. The course is generally in good condition though some areas require attention particularly bunkers . Club house is nice with good services.

I’m a beginner and because the course is so open it was perfect, was abit windy but nothing the golf club can do about that.

Played here many times… course was in good condition with a couple of soggy spots but overall in good shape for the amount of rain that fell previous days. Greens were excellent for the time of year. The weather was brutal at times but I was well prepared for it and enjoyed the day. Will be back again to play.

Course was Sahara dry with dust bowl fairways but heavily watered greens that were verdant green and ultra slow due to cautious mowing. Bunkering is trad links with mainly very small revetted pots - I avoided all of them! Most tee shots (from yellow) have obvious lines but some in the approach to the Power Station ( not too intrusive!). area are tricky. Some boundary areas were a bit scruffy and littered as Joe/Jane Public and their dogs* clearly create litter & worse*- bit of early day attention here would up the presentation factor. It is a very open aspect layout with potential for a strong wind factor and we were lucky to avoid this. Cheery welcome from the professional with a précis of what’s what to get round and he chatted with interest at the finish too. Friendly staff and tidy clubhouse In these days of high cost low value courses Newbiggin GC deserves to prosper. Like many areas it needs normal rainfall service to resume to help it get the condition back.

Great condition for time of year nice breakfast and great Sunday lunch

Really enjoyed playing here.... Excellent introduction to Links golf. Very friendly, good level of challenge for 25-28 handicapper. Windy!! Recommended

Fantastic day. Greens rapid. Pro very helpful. Fastest greens I’ve putted on but very true. Can’t fault the place. Will definitely return. Can’t recommend enough

My wife and her friends visit newbiggin every Thursday to walk along the prom and have a coffee and lunch, as a long standing member of the golf club I recommended that they try the club house for their lunch, the idea was to bring revenue to the club.

However the experience they had was less than pleasant.

They went to the bar only to be ignored. The woman then disappeared into the kitchen. My wife then rang the bell to get service ony to be greeted by " you will have to wait, I am busy" in a loud unfriendly manner. When they eventually get served it took over 30 mins for their tosted sandwiches to be brought by what thay describe as a miserable unfriendly woman. No one else had been saved during this time so being busy was a poor excuse. They all said that they were made to feel very unwelcome.

Needles to say they have said that they will not return, nor will I recommend the clubhouse again.
