Great day out

Only two problems with the day out at rothbury the first was the weather not the fault of the club and the second was after our round we was looking for a bite to eat but the caterer was closed after 230 pm

The course itself was great and I had no problems the fairways and the greens both well maintained some of the second cut was a little long but stay out of it and enjoy a great little course I will be back this summer

Nice course, bad timing

Age 37 - 15 HCP

I was first tee time off at 8.20am but the greens were literally being aerated as I warmed up so putting was a nightmare the entire round.

Despite the poor weather the layout and overall condition of the course was a good and the test a fair one.

Knowing the drop off spots playing for the first time on a hilly course means scoring would be much easier second time around but not knowing in advance meant losing balls from reasonable shots.

The main reason for 3 star review is the greens ruined what could have been a really nice course.

Will perhaps come back late summer when greens in better condition.

Great course, fantastic views, very neat and tidy with some challenging holes

A tidy course with a very nice club house. Friendly staff, green keepers and members. First half works it’s way up the hill. Not too difficult a climb as meanders up and across as you play the holes. Last half down the bottom is flat and down by the river which was nice. Good pint afterwards in club house.

Lovely course

Due to the seniors comp in front we followed the worst 4 ball , they said the will let us play through if they had the chance which was virtually every hole as they were losing balls nearly every hole ? Never did ?? Such a shame as slow play on this lovely course will not encourage guests to return .
