Whickham Golf Club - Crombie Course

Hard course to play. Up and down hills and playing off an incline or decline quite often. Really challenging but very good course. I think some course knowledge would go a long way playing here as there’s lots of dog leg holes etc. course was immaculate with nice surroundings and even though it was a windy day, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, with the trees blocking the wind. I’d 100% play here again.

Excellent course in lovely condition, some nice testing holes but playable for all handicaps.

Being stuck behind a 5 ball and having a 3 ball teeing off right behind me didn't take away the enjoyment I had on this course.

Strange set up to find a check in point, according to a kind member it's a case of grabbing a card from the back of the spike lounge and teeing off.

Not clear where to warm up, found out later there is one small driving net behind first tee and I spotted a small green that someone was chipping onto on my way off the 18th. Get yourself there in good time to suss the area out and avoid the grumpy fella sitting on his iPad in the club shop and you will have a great time! Difficult course of if find yourself off line at all so if you like a challenge that's also a plus point.

Excellent course, I can’t fault it, demanding, challenging and views to die for.

The course is in absolute pristine condition, I would say there's not many within 20 mile in as good a condition as this course. Food and drinks afterwards also, which was delicious

Teed off just after lunch and waited on every tee box.. at times there were three groups on the tee box which is just beyond a joke..

Took 4.5 hours for a Sunday knock.

Course in fair Nick and warm welcome from behind the bar..

Such a great course In immaculate condition let down by slow play, 5hr 15min in a two ball

Course in great condition considering recent weather of the past few years and very well laid out and looked after. No complaints however worth bearing in mind it is set on a hillside and is a challenging walk to get around especially if you have any mobility issues.

Would certainly play again and even look at joining fantastic course at a good price and played a good pace considering midweek medal was in progress.

Everything about Whickham was spot on, the only issue was the fairways had recently been cut and the vast majority of it was covered in grass clumps. This made the game play as though every shot was out the rough.

As I say, it wasn't everywhere but it was quite poor.

Course is good condition. Beautiful clubhouse. Pace of play was good. Lots of temporary greens but understandable with time of year. Could possibly have the green fees cheaper due to the temporary greens.

Really good morning. Course is good condition considering the weather recently. Was disappointed when 2 holes closed with no information about it and still same price. All in all tho really good course

Played here today and thought the course was superb. Every hole is interesting and requires thought and planning without ever being too difficult for mid to higher handicappers, and the condition was excellent despite the recent weather. No winter greens (although they were marking some out so don't know if that will change soon), not boggy and greens in great condition.

Views are fantastic and lots of trees make you feel in the middle of nowhere, the perfect place to lose a few hours hitting a ball about.

There are some small hills but nothing too taxing and they add interest so definitely a plus point rather than a negative.

There are a fair few blind shots and if you aren't accurate finding your ball can be a bit of an issue, but although I lost a few I still felt these blind shots were an enjoyable challenge.

My only criticism, which is a small one, is that the pro shop wasn't open and no one around to have a chat about the course and practice facilities, although I eventually tracked someone down in the bar. Didn't give the best first impression but that was quickly erased once in the course.

Oh and also there's a driving range but I was told I had to hit my own balls which made it unusable. I don't know if usually you get them from the pro shop maybe?

Anyway regardless of a couple of issues upon arrival I thoroughly enjoyed the course and will definitely be back for future rounds.

Im a member at Brancepeth Castle Club but love playing elsewhere that can match the same beauty, cost & challenges. Whickham is up there with the best. Great value for money, stunning scenery, course was in great condition and the clubhouse is nearly brand new. We couldnt understand why the course was so quiet. Already planning on a return trip

A lovely course in a beautiful setting with excellent views.
