How is this course so cheap

Designed by Mackenzie of Augusta fame.

I paid £12.99 for eighteen holes. No holes the same. Loads of dog legs fantastic greens mature fairways (better than some greens I’ve played on. Just a stunner of a course this is the second time I’ve played it. Great both times. Support your local gems. Not many better in north east

Horseflies Everywhere

Played this course and was not impressed one bit .

Everywhere on every hole there are flies and after three holes I had 8 bites which were bleeding and swollen.Aftr 10 holes we

Thought it best to come off and go for Antihistamines from the Pharmacy .

I do think their should be a warning on golf now site to prepare potential bookings.

Good test, good condition

South Moor is well worth a visit. Course in good condition, a decent test for all handicaps, the only negative is the pro shop still being closed.

Good greens

I won't be returning. There's nobody there to check you in until after 10. No refreshments available as bar is closed and no pro shop. Greens were the highlight of the course everything else is really sub par in my opinion. Used to be a fantastic course but just appears a bit neglected these days aside from the greens which I did like. Really need to step up their game with the meet and greet as its guess work if your a first timer. You also need course knowledge as there's a lot of blind holes and no sight markers to help with line into the green. Certainly won't be returning

Beautiful course, lots of exciting holes.

Was wet and I could have been tidier in parts.

However, still an excellent course and received a warm welcome in the bar, nice pool table too!

Bit of a damp squib

Wet, messy fairways after heavy overnight rain but greens commendably good. No pro shop and no catering.

Grass like quicksand

Arrived and club shop closed no one about , ended up getting scorecards from the bar. With all the rain over the north east last few months it was inevitable to book a course that was in a poor condition, and it was just that. Lack of fairways on the front 9 and everywhere just felt like quicksand, ground moved underneath you so couldn't stand correctly. Greens were terrible , bumps all over them and extremely slow. No bounce anywhere on course just plugged tee shots on pretty much every hole I played. Positive was my mate got his first ever birdie on the longer par 3 👌🏻

Course closed

Course was closed due to the weather etc. however I tried almost all Morning to get in touch with course to re arrange. Response was disgusting and am now £63 down. Not even having hit a ball.

Am seriously thinking about cancelling my golf now subscription if this is the service they provide

Too wet to be open

Thankful for a round of golf in wet conditions, however the course should have been closed. The greens and fairways we’re lakes of accumulated rainfall. Every high shot was lost due to plugging.

South moor

The course looked like it would be good in drier conditions,the reality is it should have been closed as most greens flooded and fairways were boggy.

Hidden gem of a course

I played this course at the weekend despite there being horrendous rain the course was open and in a pretty good state. Really enjoyed the layout and challenge of every hole, will definitely be heading back.
