Newcastle United Golf Club

Wind was the main thing when we played. Nothing anyone could do about the weather but it spoiled the round. Lovely to play proper greens at this time of year, fairways were OK if a bit wet.

This course has always been value for money, excellent course and brilliant greens for a little over £10 a round.

Course was better than expected during the middle of January with only two temporary greens through 18.

I’ve played here many a time through the summer and it’s a great little course to play with good weather with a few challenging holes.

However I played for the first time in the winter here and I walked off after 9 (only 12 holes were open anyway) the course should have been closed. I understand winter golf is usually poor in the UK but this was terrible. Not a single green open, par 5’s reduced to distances of short par 4’s, fairways entirely water logged. GUR’s were literally just a hole dug out of the fairway. Wasted my time entirely playing, should have gone to a range.

Staff were very friendly though

The course was in fairly good condition, I did think that the course was boring as most holes were just straight with very few challenges apart from rolling bumps on most fairways, found it hard to keep interested and walked after 14th

The course was good and the staff were helpful . Good variety of layout and easy to get around.

As the other players mentioned in previous reviews, the greens are sandy.

Hit lucky on the day. Apart from a ladies competition there was barely a handful of people on the course. I think the weather may of frightened a few off. Course was in good order only thing that let it down was the greens had just been holotined so were a bit slow and unpredictable other than that the fairways were immaculate and quite firm given the monsoons we have been having lately. Staff were excellent in the shop and the bar and the price for a Saturday afternoon game was very reasonable. If you haven't played here before it is well worth a shot.

The greens were hollow tined and sanded on the morning that we played which made the overall experience very disappointing for was generally a nice course. We were not made aware of the greens maintenance and because we’d booked online, felt obliged to play regardless of the conditions. The value for money rating is purely down to greens maintenance on the day of play.

A great morning of golf.

The undulating fairways were a challenge and not favourable for beginner golfers. We will play the course again once our standard of play has improved. Not great on the knees ..

Handily location, friendly staff and reasonably priced.

enjoyed the course layout....didnt like that in the semi all the grass cuttings made the semi feel like rough....guy in the pro shop wasn't very friendly either...but other than that I had a good round and enjoyed it

Nice straightforward course in good condition in a good central location and a very fair price. Not too many hazards.

Nice course with wide open fairways. Some holes quite crumpled but we didn't think this a problem. Course in excellent condition (we had a dry, sunny day). We would play here again.

Course in great condition, a bit of a hidden gem very close to the city centre. Pace of play was great at three hours. Some really challenging holes, rough was punishing but fairways weren't tight.

Didn’t rack cut/dead grass in light ruff if I went just off fairway ball lost

Course is largely level and provides nice views of Newcastle and surrounding areas. Undulating ground can result in unexpected ball bounces but all part of the challenge of golf! Overall a very good course with a relaxed feel and good clubhouse facilities. Weather on the day warm and sunny which helped ... My score didn't!
