Ravensworth Golf Club

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?

1st time playing and extremely happy i did,played as a solo but joined up with an older gentleman after catching up slower players,by the 4th he had to leave after 9 holes so cracked on by myself and caught a 4 ball up on the 10th,they let me through which was great,overall a fine day weather wise,great new course to play and cant fault the clubhouse with a great suntrap balcony overlooking the 18th

Despite the chill of winter, the course at Ravensworth Golf Club was in exceptional condition and far exceeded my expectations. The staff were extremely welcoming, which made for a great experience from the start.

The course itself boasts some fantastic holes, featuring very tight fairways and plenty of elevation changes that provide a challenging yet enjoyable round. It’s also very well priced, and I’d definitely return.

My only slight negative observation was regarding the pace of play later in the morning. I was fortunate to have one of the first tee times of the day, but by around 8–9 o’clock, it appeared quite backed up—a situation that might be frustrating for later tee times.

Overall, a great course and well worth a visit!

Greeted with a friendly welcome . Explained the course layout and facilities. Quiet at the time, the morning rush over. We had a great day out with many long fairways &.a mix as expected . The course was good for the time of year. especially after frost and rain.

Will definitely go back.

Nice club house having an open mic night fot the first time in a week's time

I shall.be attending the event as a performer

This course is a really good course for a day out and good exercise with some of the hills the staff are very friendly. The only issue is the layout with going through gates where we got lost a couple times trying to find which hole we were going to but overall a very nice recommend it to others

Very friendly pro , bar staff and members. Frozen course as was everywhere yesterday but totally playable. Enjoyable despite weather. Very warm welcome. Recommend

Very heavy overnight frost but playable. Our decision. Everyone at the club from pro shop-bar staff very friendly and helpful and also friendly members. Course was frozen as was everywhere this weekend so no complaints. Still enjoyable.

Played here on Friday 13th December,for this time of year the course is in excellent condition.Winter tees which are a mixture of mats and grass,all greens open although soft very good.Friendly welcome at the club shop telling you what’s in play and what’s not.Highly recommend booking through Golf now 18 holes for £11:99 walked away feeling a bit guilty excellent value.

First impressions were great. A very warm welcome in the pro shop with a little guidance on the course layout.

Was very quiet with little to no pressure from behind or catching anyone in front. I've played golf for a year and had this gem 5 minutes from my house. I feel like I've robbed myself over the summer.

No winter greens but winter tee box's which is understandable. The greens were in IMMACULATE condition.

Pace of play was good, got let through by 2 gentlemen (only for me to hit a 50 yard chip to 2 feet). Pace of play was great.

Will definitely be back again. Especially for £12.99!!!!

This is the ugliest golf course I have ever played in over 30 years, the setting is terrible, the dirt tracks that you have to follow to get around are horrendous, you even have to go through graffiti coverd tunnels to get to tea boxes, the place is awful

Round couldn't have started better than simply checking in and being met with the friendliest staff member who showed us the layout of the course with some recommendations. First time playing the course and he put us at ease even before teeing off.

Course conditions were okay. Had a bit of rain recently, so it was a bit muddy in places, but the greens were in excellent condition, as were the tee boxes. Fairway grass length was perhaps a touch long, but due to the recent rain, it was expected.

I personally shot a personal best of 84, but my playing partner's didn't fair as good, losing a few balls along the way. All being said, I'd definitely play here again.

We were looking forward to playing Ravensworth and the experience should have been good as the course is currently in good condition and the club house / general facilities are very good. However, the visit was spoiled for us and quite a few others by an unfathomable decision by the club to allow two members four ball parties to tee off very late which resulted in booked parties tee times being severely delayed on the first. Our party and two other parties were stood waiting on almost every hole - to say that frustration was starting to creep in is an understatement! Some players had to walk off at the half way mark due to commitments outside of the world of golf - those of us that soldiered on and completed got finished circa 1.5 hours late. Sadly due to the negative experience we wont be booking Ravensworth again any time soon which is a shame.

The course was in very good condition with the greens much faster than our home course in Norfolk. We found checking in easy and we were offered some sound advice regarding the course. Signage was helpful around the course. We both enjoyed our round and would definitely return

The golf course is on the hilly side. A bit tough for walking golfer. Buggy availability would be helpful . Great golf course with a superb scenery .

Great condition for time of year some super tricky short holes enjoyed it, only issue confusing from hole to hole but definitely wouldn’t put me off rushing back
