Great time

Nice course and good condition. It was only a few days after all the rain we have had recently, the course was in great condition. No temporary tees or greens, all the greens were great. Staff in the club house were helpful and welcoming.

Stunning course, even at the start of the season.

First time I play the course. Despite the time of the year the course is in an amazing condition. Winter tees are in play, but all as good as the regular tees , no temporary greens. The course is dry, whereas some other courses in the area are soaking wet. Even though it is easy to walk the course has enough profile and landscape to make it interesting. The views are stunning. Although the course was quite busy the pace of play was still very good.

Will definitely be back, even might make it my home course.

Wonderful condition hidden gem

Lovely course presented in great condition after a long wet and cold winter on the north east coast. We have a lovely day out despite a harsh wind off the sea. Great views from the course over to Newcastle, the port of Tyne and Tynemouth priory, recommended 😀

Driest in the area

Would join here if I lived closer. All year round golf on a good test but a fair links course.

As a visitor I dont think we should have been charged full price to play on 18 drilled and filled greens. Otherwise would Habberley been 5 stars

Proper Winter Golf Course

Course conditions are the best in the North East. Greens superb for February. Very windy, but to be expected.

Course was busy but pace of play was good.

Winter golf

Considering the time of year and the recent weather it was great to be out, there was 18 temp greens on but definitely the right choice by the green keeping staff 👌

We got chance to speak to a couple of the staff looking after the course and they were friendly and helpful and making a great effort to protect the course.

Excellent

I arrived in the car park and immediately started chasing with a very friendly member. I was then welcomed in the club shop by name. The course was in excellent condition. My playing partner ended up in pretty much every bunker on the course which made my day. Lol. Good pint in the clubhouse after. All around a great day. We will definitely return.

A lovely afternoon

Hadn't played for a while, so this course was ideal in fantastic conditions. Very quiet, so could play at my own pace, and had a really enjoyable afternoon. All the staff and people I came across were very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to going back soon.
