Reviews
May Bank Holiday round
What a great knock, course in beautiful condition great fairways and greens although not very quick, tree lined fairways and dog legs keep you thinking and having to plot your way round . Pace of play was good 3 and half hours for a 3 ball will definitely play again
Great course...rain spoilt it
Had to walk off after 9 holes due to rain and wind. Sinbad it broke my umbrella.
I was really enjoying the course and would definitely like to return.
Had you be able to cancel your booking and get a refund I would have done after realising how bad the weather was going to be.
Course was in pretty good condition but two holes were off due to work being done which would of been nice to know before we booked and paid for the round
14 and 15 closed, winter tee mats £25
As a regular visitor to Whickham I was extremely disappointed by standard of the course today. Totally understand the adverse weather lately but I expected more from a course which was my favourite in the region.
The tee mats were used on almost every hole.
Yellow tee markers in front of the reds on some holes.
Really disappointing and the worst thing is charging a premium for 15.5 holes rather than 18. 14 and 15 are the best 2 holes on the course and both are closed. 16 is a 200 yard straight par 3 with a fairway tee box which means the ball is above your feet on address.
The course was £15 at times last summer in peak season, it’s now £25 and it’s not 18 holes of golf. No mention at all on golf now that some holes were closed.
Good day all round!
First time at this course - and the first since lockdown ended - so the clubhouse was still closed - understandably.
Nevertheless we scored for good weather and despite the recent rain the course was in excellent condition - albeit (again understandably) with some temp greens.
Very challenging course at times and very hilly - but this added to the enjoyment with decisions to be made on almost every hole to get the best of the conditions and lies.
Thoroughly enjoyed this course and will certainly be going back.
Excellent morning
Course was immaculate today, really enjoyed playing. Lots if character. I will be back soon
The course was in very good condition
First time on this course, the fairways and greens were fantastic. The views from this golf course are amazing.
Shame about the greens
Found Whickham to be a lovely course but feel the 26 pounds fee that golf now charged us wasn't in line with the conditions of the course since the greens had recently been dug up and where covered in sand causing putting to be less enjoyable. This was our only issue.
Simply Brilliant
From the welcome at the door by the friendly clubhouse staff to the magnificent course, this was all together a brilliant experience. The Club had gone to great lengths to make you feel comfortable , the food was great and eaten in a safe environment. Some fantastic holes on a tough course, fairways were well covered and the greens fantastic. Will definitely play again soon.
Great course, challenging but fun!
First time on the course and really enjoyed it! A lot of hills but it added to the challenge on the holes. Narrow fairways at times but well thought out!
