Just a gem

Don't let the location put you off. This is a brilliant course. Good layout and testing holes. Not expensive either. We'll worth a visit.

South Moor great test of Golf

Know this course extremely well as a previous member.

No two holes alike so a much varied and challenging great golf course.

SAD to say yesterday the course was so wet and muddy hardly able to find a decent lie without water under foot it was shocking !

VALUE for MONEY - NOT

Preferred lies , saturated fairway , bunkers out of play , suggested hitting portable mats ! BOOKED a HOT DEAL at £18.00 pp It was not we got a DAMP SQUID .

4 Ball introducing 2 new players to this course I was embarrassed .

We should expect a 4 BALL COMPLIMENTARY FREE ROUND for a revisit when it’s a playable course .

Course very wet.....

Played today and was disappointed to find the course in poor shape. Even though we have had little rain several holes were very heavy underfoot on the fairways and the greens were saturated and very soft. The Tees were also poor, showing signs of heavy use. Not sure what the course will be like when we have alot of rain or through winter.

Worst Ever Round

Two club members Infront of my two-ball who were ridiculously slow, not letting us through, they were constantly looking for balls, leaving bags the wrong side of the green, on there phones and taking multiple shots off the tee at every hole because there standard was so poor. Which meant that we were not only waiting at every tee box for them to clear but also on every fairway, everytime we thought we would be let through while they were waiting they then teed off and left.

Course conditions were very poor, sand covered rapid greens and waterlogged boggy fairways.

A round which could realistically be completed in 2.5 hours took almost 4 because of two people's own ego.

Great condition

A challenging layout with shorter holes made more difficult by changes in elevation. Some nice scenery. Greens were in great condition and the pace of play excellent. The pro shop was among the best stocked I have seen. Green staff were courteous helping maintain the pace of play. Definitely good value for money and worth a visit.

A canny course at a great price

I had not played this course for years. It still surprised me what a nice course this is. Great layout. Some testing holes a real gem. The tee price was good for a visitor. Pro shop large. I don't think anyone will be disappointed. Greens treated when I played. Will play again next time I'm in the area.

Windy weather
Walked

southmoor

Very good course. designed by the designer of Agusta. The first time we played it, the greens were like glass, they had just been hollow tined so were thankfully slow. The fairways are of georgous fine grass which is beautiful to play of. Some very difficult holes and some fairly easy when using the wind.

It's on the side of a fairly steep hill so was windy. Some lovely big drives from the tee down the hills.

food is excellent in the bar.

Past it’s best maybe

First of all the members wie meet and green keepers were all super nice northern friendliness tat its best.

Unfortunately they had green maintenance week which wasn’t announced when we booked the course on recommendation that this is after Seaton Carew and Brancepeth Castle the best course in Durham. It might have been in the past. Course conditions were ok, club house closed. The green keeper offered for us to come back and the few greens that were not worked on showed potential and so did the course, but funds possible not available due to economical circumstances.
