Stocksfield Golf Club

Positives:

Scenic views for miles of rolling hills

Staff phenomenal

Black pudding sausage roll in the club house

Holes challenging but not ridiculous

Price

Condition of fairways/roughs and 15/18 greens

Black pudding sausage roll in the clubhouse (it was that good it goes on the list twice!)

Negatives:

The other three greens were getting drainage works done when we played so we’re trenched with gravel which made putting impossible

Some other players (don’t think members) not shouting fore and nearly hitting us on a few occasions

Behind senior 4 balls very slow but understandable, will check next time. Played 2 ball course a few greens unplayable as being repaired. Roped areas a bit unclear as to directions. However as ever great course challenging front 9 , easier back 9.

Everyone very helpful and refreshments menu after golf excellent quality.

In conclusion don’t get behind 3 groups of 4 ball seniors on a Monday morning. Be aware about 3 greens unplayable as repair for drainage not knitted together yet. Enjoyed with weather outstanding. If you have not played course it is a must, if you have in the past course condition of course will disappoint you. Booked on line via golf pass £18 per head good value.

First time playing at stocksfield , very helpful before we started , pace of play was good , and the course was in excellent condition , will recommend to my friends for the future .

Took advantage of a dry day to play at Stocksfield. A lovely pre-Christmas round. All staff very friendly and helpful and course in wonderful condition. A couple of winter greens but that wasn’t an issue. Course much drier than we could have hoped for given the amount of rain over the last couple of weeks. Really enjoyed it. Thanks

2nice players let me start before them but got stuck behind 2 older male members . They were all over the course and had at least 6 chances from the start to let me through. I waited on every tee box or hung back to give them a chance but they were very bad mannered and let me wait which totally spoilt my overall game which cost me £25. Something must be done or said to members and visitors about this as this is not the first time I’ve had to write a review like this

IF THIS PERSISTS PEOPLE WILL STOP PLAYING THE COURSE WHICH WOULD BE A REAL PITY AS ITS A GOOD COURSE SPOILT

This course is quite challenging with front 9 holes being very tight then opening up for the back nine. Quite a few hills so felt like we had a good walk.

Clubhouse on finishing was very pleasant with good food and drinks. Everyone very friendly.

Fun and challenging course, friendly staff and great clubhouse for food and drink afterwards

lovely course very tight would highly recommend

in great condition one of the best course around

This was a last minute decision and I’m glad I made it. Course in great condition - fairways like carpets. Greens were quick and true. Course etiquette of visitors and members excellent. Really enjoyed my round.

Overall it was quite good but some greens are in poor condition (lines).

One of the best opening holes iv played,with all the rain over the past 6 month i was expecting it to be boggy in places as played here in the past,yet seems like work has been done to counter this,(well done to the groundsmen,),front 9 slightly tougher,tree lined and tight but you can open up on back 9 as fairly open and larger faireays

Fantastic way to end a busy work week. Booked at the last minute and folks at the club could not have been more understanding or welcoming. Lovely friendly club. Course very quiet but everyone very friendly. Beautiful weather and course in fantastic condition. Really enjoyed my round.

We have been playing Stocksfield for circa 10 years and have sadly watched various aspects of the course steadily decline - especially recently. 4 No. greens on the back 9 have been re-laid and the results are quite poor - the greens should probably be closed for remedial attention. The trees on the front 9 urgently need a trim to reduce infringement on play which is steadily becoming more and more frustrating for visitors. Also the intermediate rough is being left far to long in some areas which is causing further frustration for players. I suspect that the looming specter of house building on the course might be taking it's inevitable toll on the club's day to day activities and plans for the future.

Course was virtually empty due to weather conditions.

A long time since I had played but as enjoyable as I had remembered. Great front nine - back a little less so. Course was sodden given weather but still playable and much in very good condition.
