Great days golf
3rd time I have played this course and I always enjoy it. One of my favourite local courses
Beatiful well kept, scenic course
Brilliantly week kept fairways, greens and bunkers. The greenkeeping star do an excellent job here. Great course with some lovely scenery overlooking Newcastle and Gibside.
Excellent variation
First time I've played the course since the rearrangement of the course, it troubled my GPS from the third to 6th holes, but that was a trivial inconvenience.
The course was in fantastic condition for late April after a wet winter.
Excellent use of the natural lay of the land and a good variation of hole
types.
Our winner on the day had 33 Stapleford points playing off 10, many of
the holes leave you with a short iron if you hit a definite enter drive, poor drives aren't always punished badly, for example, I hooked my tee shot from the first and sat in the rough on the wrong side of the 2nd fairway, although I had a 3 ft high wall to negotiate, I was still able to reach the green with my second shot.
A definite contender for next year.
This downside isn't connection Ted to Golf Now or Tees Off Times, but for years the club wouldn't have us as a golf society on a Sunday, but a group of 6 of us were welcomed with open arms.
Great value for money and as I say, a definite contender for next year
Lovely layout
I played this course on bank holiday Monday and couldn't believe how quiet it was, the course itself has a really good layout plenty of doglegs but not a very long course (I very rarely used my driver) we didn't use any of the facilities at the club so can't comment but was really impressed with everything else and for £14 you really can't grumble
Whickham
We enjoyed the golf but almost every tee was still a winter tee and still some winter greens.
This should be made clear when you are handing over the money
Best Regards

Nice course, great views
Stopped off to play on the way to Scotland. What a treat. Less able may be better off in a buggy as it is quite hilly. However well worth the effort with a good variety of challenging holes. The course played quite long and there are a couple of blind holes with hidden ditches but if you check the course markers they are shown. Would definitely play again given the chance.
