Whickham Golf Club - Crombie Course

Great course played this course a fair few times now we are members up Slaley but when we fancy a change this course is always first choice, would recommend

Not played here for a long while but found it in great condition, tee boxes/fairways and greens all in excellent condition. Forgotten how hilly it was, my legs have been dead for last couple days, will return again but prob get a buggy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, well done Whickham well worth the £22 green fee

Great course, well presented but very hilly. If you have bad knees or are unable to walk easily it might be a little too hilly for you.

Really enjoyed this course. Tee boxes and greens were immaculate. Areas surrounding the green need a little bit of work, but the course was playing great and the fairways were sound as well.

Course was in fairly good condition for our round with the exception of some hard compacted sand in some bunkers and issues with temp hole plugs standing proud on some of the greens. We teed off nearly 20 minutes after a members competition but had pretty much caught up with them by the 5th hole - subsequent pace of play was a bit slow and players were starting to get significantly backed up from the 9th hole onwards. We have played Whickham quite a few times over the years - it's usually fairly good over the June to August period but suffers with heavy leaf fall during late summer / autumn and muds up very quickly to the extent that some holes or even the entire course is often shut - it's worth checking course status / weather forecast if you are traveling a significant distance.

My tee of time was 06:08 and it was a perfect time. Loved it great course.

Played this course several times and usually enjoy it. Greens were in excellent condition - quick and ball rolling smoothly. However, avoid Tues/ Thurs mornings as they have Seniors Comps. Pace of play is soporific.

I teed off over an hour behind them and caught up with the last group on 7th. Was clearly told that despite them being over a hole and a half behind the group in front, I would not be played through. Chose to play 8&9 then returned to clubhouse.

Paid for 18 holes but only played 9 as a result. Shame as I was enjoying the course up to the 7th!

Played slaley last weekend green conditions at whickam much better & half the price . Lovely course played few times so far, will be playing few more as well

Lovely course and in great condition given the dry weather.

Some steep hills and blind holes make it a good challenge, would recommend having a trolley.

Club house was really nice, with friendly staff, pace of play could have been quicker, but it was a busy Sunday afternoon and not really slow. Would definitely give it try again.

A nice parkland course. Quite hilly mind, but fun to play.

I’ve played here over 10 times probably and the course is normally in good condition from Spring and through Sunmer. It was poor this time round. Still on winter mats what I can live with, but the greens were terrible with tracks and sand all over them, the fairways look like they hadn’t been cut and the course maintenance in general was poor. I did email the club and they just emailed back saying it is what it is.

I’d recommend not playing here for another few months, till the course conditions improve.

My first time at Whickham. Won't be my last.

Obviously, still winter conditions and the greens had been treated but I will come back to see it in all it's glory this summer.

Some excellent holes, some quirky holes, some long holes and it's a really good test.

It's hilly and undulating and was blowing a gale, but some of the views were spectacular. It's brilliant value for money, and the bar and pro shop are both excellent

Had a lovely shandy afterwards in the bar, and all 4 of us really enjoyed it.

Beautiful course… Very hilly. Can see it getting quite muddy. We were lucky the ground was firm. We even saw a hare. Sun was out and felt like spring.

Played yesterday for the first time this year. Course has held up magnificently after a rough winter. Greens were all open bar 2-3 winter greens. Wonderful place. Great staff & people!
