1st round this year

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

Glorious Evening Golf

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.

Course maintenance needs a major overhaul

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.

Be patient with slow play

Very good course and kept well. The only problem is slow play causing back up and frustration at times . Got to be as patient as you can without ruining your momentum. If players would respect their fellow players it would be a lot better and play would flow. .if they know where the next tee box is why oh why do they leave their trolleys where they have to walk back to to leave the hole.

Disappointed this time

First nine holes were closed due to course being water logged

Was not made clear on booking or course . As a visitor l. was just expected to know this . This held you up and some of the members were purposely playing slow leaving their clubs on the fairway and walking back to get them and mar king cards on the green etc . Have put would recommend because I have had good times here but some of the members need to be instructed to play properly.

Poor condition

Was excited to play stocksfield as I remembered the greens and course was excellent in past visits . Unfortunately I feel I was upset to see the course in such a state . mainly the greens very poor condition and tee boxes was like teeing off a on a meadow field . Overall wouldn’t want to play the course again for at least another month unless there were some drastic changes , be it the club has been short on green staff or weather conditions but overall course was in poor condition . Glad the day brought sunshine and hospitality was spot on with members and staff with best of kindness .

Stocksfield review

An enjoyable course, and certainly a course where you had to be 'on your game', the first few holes require accuracy and strategy off the tee. As the front nine unfolds you gradually work your way to the top area of the course from where the views are spectacular. the second nine allows you to open your shoulders. The course if fair and certainly one worth visiting

Boggy

The course was completely waterlogged it was awful. One hole was completely closed and winter greens in use without prior notification, the greens were absolutely awful. I also hated the artificial tee boxes used at some holes.

Probably a lovely course in the summer but unlikely to come back at this time of year.

Nice course, shame about the temp greens

A course of two halves. The first 9, apart from the 1st, are tight amongst the trees. The second 9 are far more open. Interesting holes, not overly long, some undulations to be aware of.

I've played here before and would normally, at this point, advise how good the greens are. Unfortunately, on this occasion there were multiple temporary greens so we couldn't confirm this time. Here lies the disappointment. I understand the use of temporary greens but if they are on then advise people on the club website, fb page or when booking via GN. Anyone thinking of booking now, phone first to check. Oh yes, one hole was closed as well, no notification about that either.

Friendly clubhouse.

All in all, a decent place to play. Just make sure the course if fully in play first of all.

Great course

First time around this course and really enjoyed it.

Very hilly at times but worth the hard work

2 holes closed due to conditions but did not spoil the round and the very friendly staff made it a very enjoyable day

Look forward to coming back

Just picked a bad time to play

We picked a bad time to play .the front nine was closed because of wet conditions the back nine should be closed as just as bad. It would pay to check course conditions before you pay as not worth the money as yet. Every cloud has a silver lining as we had fantastic Sunday lunch in the club house. I think there should be some sort of refund if half the course is closed and the other just a swamp just my opinion
