Newcastle United Golf Club

Course is ok if you want a cheap round local. Winter greens is basically a flag in the fairway. Didn’t get the putter out the bag once. Winter tees & general fairways in ok condition.

I attended this course with my son after an earlier visit in the month , where weather got the best of the day and only finished the front 9 . I thought I’d give it another go as it was fairly cheap and my 13 year old son has not long started playing .

We teed off at 13:00 with no one in front of us , quickly caught up a party of 3 on the 2nd hole and they were also waiting for a 4 ball just teeing off on the 3rd. The play was so slow , that the 2 parties that were now BEHIND me , had decided to just walk off all by the 6th hole .

I decided on the 8th to leapfrog to the 10th as we wernt getting let through and the 4 ball were absolutely dawdling. We finished the 10th and just decided that the day had been ruined and couldn’t continue so walked back towards the clubhouse , where my son was 2 feet away from getting hit with a drive from that 4 ball . With the sun in our eyes we’d stopped and were well aware of them teeing off but not one about to let us know that ball was literally on course to hit my son . Not a sorry or acknowledgment of any kind . If it wasn’t for the fact that I was with my boy , that ball would’ve been teed up and pinged right back at them . Absolutely ruined the day after paying a small fortune to have to walk off . Course was ok although the greens were full of divots . Wouldn’t come back .

Just booked it at short notice , get there a bit early , quick warm up then straight out , a lot of morning dew , apart from that course in good condition .

This was my first time playing at this course. I’ve only been playing golf for a few months and found the course to be very forgiving for a new player whilst also being challenging on certain holes. Will definitely be playing here again.

The course was in good knick and greens were quick. Pace of play good and good value for money.

Very early tee time so course was empty and greenkeepers were out prepping the course. Was in good condition with tricky greens.

Lovely way to spend a morning

As always the course is excellent and the greens really good. Only issue is 4 balls with buggies playing very slow and not allowing 2 balls to play through . Standing between tee boxes and greens waiting for then to finish talking etc

Right in the middle of a council estate. No wind cover and no trees. There is a reason this course is cheap to play.
