Good days golf
Played on this open links course which overlooks the coast from Tynemouth to South Shields. Friendly open course so not too punishing for higher handicappers but still enough of a test for mid handicappers

Excellent course, fast greens, beautiful scenery by the coast
2nd visit. Great course for all levels. Holes 14-18 have superb coastal scenery. Mobility issues can be met with a buggy hire, although I’m not sure of the hire costs.

Very enjoyable seaside course
Headland course with a links vibe. Turf in very good condition and greens excellent. Nice members and welcome in clubhouse by staff. What's not to like for £30. Very good value.
