Great communication and accommodating.

Very good course and helpful staff. I was unavoidably late and contacted en route to explore a delayed tee time. They had no problem sorting this out

Top condition

I have played numerous courses since the season began taking advantage of the deals on golf now and Ravensworth is by far the best course i have played. Greens and course in general in top condition, greens are superb.

The member of staff in the pro shop was excellent and so helpful as was the rest of the members, if i lived any closer I would join.

If you get the chance give it a go and see how you fair on the greens certainly worth every penny.

Pace of play an issue

The course was in very good condition and my only gripe was, only having a 2ball in front of us, the course was clear up until the tenth, where we hit a massive backlog of players. I rang the pro shop on the 13th to make them aware and asked if players joined the course on the tenth but was told no. When we came back across the road to the 15th, suddenly we were on our own. Having a group on the tee, and two waiting is just not good enough im afraid.

Nice course spoiled by poor tee etiquette

The course is currently in very good summer condition with the only issue being lack of sand in some of the bunkers. However, there is a major issue with people that haven't booked a tee time (or paid a green fee?) sneaking onto the course at the Black Lane public entrance on the 3rd tee which is backing the course up and causing considerable frustration for those of us that have booked and started properly on the 1st. I'm guessing that the club is and will continue to miss out on a lot of revenue until they get the matter under control. We also noticed a couple of lads on the course at the North end pinching golf balls which probably explains why players sometimes can't locate the ball on some holes.

Not sure if bunkers were in the process of being refilled but seemed very little sand in.

Unfortunately got stuck inbetween a society day that didn’t appear to have tee times booked out so was a slow pace of play which you wouldn’t expect for a weekday.

Enjoyable course, different challenges

Definitely worth a visit

Lovely well kept course in the shadow of the Angel of the North. Hats off to the green keepers as it was in immaculate condition. Most holes were pretty straight but the difficulty was levelled by lots of unforgiving trees that flanked most holes. Every person I met on a beautiful May Friday including staff and members on the course were accommodating and super friendly. Well worth a visit and great value for money at £22 on a 11:22 tee time with the GN app. Only slight criticism and it is more feedback than anything is that for a new visitor it was sometimes difficult to navigate to the next hole as the signage could have been a bit more prominent.

Excellent course

5th time I’ve played here and it’s been brilliant every time I’ve been. The course is in great condition and the greens are very good. Some brutal par 3s that are really long for the average handicapper but that adds to the challenge! All in all a brilliant place and well worth the £20 I paid.
