Ravensworth Golf Club

Great views of surrounding area and the Angel of the North. A bit confusing layout but took a photo of the map and managed fine.

Played here a few weeks ago and found it to be a challenge as alot of holes have blind shots into greens,but on second visit i was upto speed and enjoyed it every bit as much,played as a lone player and will deffo play again,although it was a warm day its very windy up there

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

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.

Rating from 3 happy makems for a canny Geordie Golf course 9/10

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.

First time I’ve played ravensworth and have to say I really enjoyed it. Definitely a thinking golfers corse, Greens were also In great condition. Not the easiest of corses with it being quite tight but a good challenge. The guy in the proshop gave us some advice before we started which I thought was nice and very helpful. Looking forward to my next visit

I was playing as part of a two ball, None of the groups in front would let anybody play through. It was very frustrating having to wait at each tee box.

great course...greens were excellent and every hole is different which makes it a good challenge.

pace of play was really bad but apart from that I ll be back.

Played with a friend yesterday at Ravensworth. The course was in godd condition although the greens had been recently tuned and sanded they were still quick and will only get quicker approaching the summer. This course was excellent value for the money and we will certainly return in the future.

Overall happy, great value at £12.99. Course condition pretty decent considering the time of year. No temp greens though all 18 holes were temp tees, this made the course play a lot shorter. The greens were very very weird, they looked decent, stopped well and the ball rolled well but the weird thing was how they felt under foot. It was like walking on a water bed or a giant blister.

I'm putting it down to average drainage and the time of year. Don't let these negative points stop you playing, it's a good overall course now and as it dries out will get much better and at £12.99 value is off the chart. Only other niggle was hole info and lack of good directions to many of the holes. A little guesswork was often required. Still a def recommend.

The course and facilities are good with the North end of the course being especially unique and interesting. However, our visit was frustrated by greens which looked good from a distance but were oddly spongy, uneven and very inconsistent to play on possibly to the extend that they need hollow tining, sanding & rolling again which isn't ideal at this time of year. Also whilst the initial pace of play was good we caught up with a four ball that had teed off a full half hour before us by the time we reached the 5th hole - our group and two groups behind us had to pace ourselves for the remainder of the game and were stood waiting for quite a considerable duration on the back nine. Perhaps the club can look at providing some form of incentive for very slow groups to pick later p.m. tee times when the course is a bit quieter?
