Newbiggin Golf Club

I don't play golf that often these days but playing a course like newbiggin yesterday had me thinking I should play more. Course was in immaculate condition with the greens and fringes particularly impressive. Probably 10 years since I last played up here so I'd forgotten the course layout - there are 14 par 4's which for me was great, none of which however felt the same, some challenging blind t-shots and wonderfully hidden greens which made each hole seem unique. Add to that some great views out to sea and a friendly welcome at hole 19 with an ice cold pint at a really good price - I'll be back soon!!

Challenging links course with good greens where you will need to know your lines

Highly recommend this course. Great layout and love the huge double greens!! Setting is fantastic by the sea. If you love links then this is worth checking out.

First time of playing the course and found it very tough. Excellent first drive down the middle of the fairway but it wasn’t to last.

The opening seven holes have the sea on your right and if you don’t hit the fairway you have punishing rough or the beach.

The course itself was in excellent condition with the greens particularly fast.

Colin, the pro was very helpful in setting us off.

Overall a tough test on an excellently prepared course, just a pity I couldn’t do it justice.

The course is in good condition with the exception of a few weather damaged areas and one green in particular which was a bit beat up and had been quite heavily sanded. The front nine follow the coastal perimeter of the course and are quite an enjoyable and scenic challenge with some blind approach shots over sand dunes into relatively small greens. The back nine are slightly less interesting and a bit nondescript in places – maybe the club could consider planting some hardy trees to give the area a bit more character and a bit of shelter around the greens? The green fee of £15 was reasonable for Friday afternoon golf. A couple of notes for visitors: The course is quite exposed to the elements – it’s advisable to check the weather forecast before booking. Also the entire course is open to public access – sadly during our round there were a couple of “likely lads” wondering back and forward – probably best to keep your clubs & valuables nearby at all times.

The course was fantastic a true links course. The only issue was my 2 ball was stuck behind a 4 ball for the whole round and they didn't offer to let us play through once wish was disappointing. However I would definitely return.

Nice links course but could have done with a guide for a couple of the holes

Good links course even in the winter after lots of recent rain.

Played here a few times recently and learned something new every time. Loved plotting my way around the course and had plenty of fun putting from 50 yards in if a fancied it. Picturesque along the coast, with plenty of different and challenging holes that require plenty of thought.
