Greens fantastic.
Greens great, very quick, course in general really good condition, good walk with some excellent views of the valley
Really good course in really good condition
Course was in great nick. I really like how every hole is different and has different challenges. Weather was perfect and clubhouse is spot on. Only problem was the 4 older gents in front slowing everyone down. We had a backlog of players. They eventually let us through, when something was said. Just cos they were playing in a comp, doesn’t mean it should take an hour to play 3 holes.
Whickham - Rapid greens and home of the dog legs
First time playing here - course was in great condition. Slow play at times due to competitions. Tight fairways and a lot of dog leg holes. The greens are in great shape and very quick. Shame the club house isn’t open earlier for a bite to eat on a Sunday.
Lovely course
great course, in fantastic nick. Excellent greens which were v quick
Superb greens
My group has played a lot of different courses already this season taking advantage of the hot deals
I would highly recommend this course
Greens are the best i have played on since returning to golf March 2024.
Congratulations to greenkeepers
Spoke to a number of members who were all helpful and accommodating making us feel very welcome.
Course was quiet it must be a secret regarding the excellent condition.
Thanks Whickham GC hopefully will get a chance to return 🙏👍
Impressive
After reading many good reviews before booking I was looking forward to seeing what the fuss was about. Course is in excellent condition, greens the best I’ve played on, a lot of tricky holes with dog legs and tight fairways so it was very challenging. Shoutout to the two members who I played the last two holes with as I caught them up, very informative on shots to take and were up for a good chat which is always a good sign when trying a new course, will be back sooner rather than later.
Nice course
Nice course Lots of little quirks. Not the easiest of walks very undulating but very enjoyable and great value

Whickam Golf Club
this was our first time playing this course and found the whole place to be pleasant and friendly except for the actual course we found that fairly challenging. We will certainly be back to play again and are contemplating taking out member ship here.
Tee box nightmare
Overall really like this course but disappointed that the tee boxes were still on plastic mats, which in April and considering the recent (good) weather I would have expected proper tee boxes
Bit wet
4 winter greens, all tee boxes were on mats. Course wet in a lot on places, 17th temp was shocking. Clubhouse nicely done out, staff friendly, pro great.
Best public course in the North East?
My first round at Whickham and certainly won’t be my last. A couple temporary greens in-play unfortunately but the greens were absolutely immaculate and playing pretty fast and pure already. For this time of year absolutely the best greens I’ve played. Members were lovely while there was a bit of mid-week slow play which I expect they were really chatty and had a laugh with us which is always nice because sometimes the members look down on young lads for some reason but not here. Really looking forward to coming back.
Great course
Played here a few times over recent years and it’s always a nice experience. Same again this time. Nice layout, hilly and a challenging course. Enjoyed it. A few holes on winters due to the season start preparation but overall a great day with good conditions. Me and 3 others won a voucher to play here and I can’t wait to come back and play again in the warmer months. Staff and local members also friendly.
Nice Course
Nice course, nice and hilly, quite a lot of dogleg holes which I love. Winter tees and greens however.
