Superb day out

The greens were the best I’ve seen in the past few seasons. The staff were very friendly and the home made pie was splendid.

Sunny day great views

The staff in shop were very helpful advising on course layout.

The course is relatively short - par 70- with par 5’s reachable. Some very interesting/ visually attractive.

Some members extremely accommodating letting a 2 ball through though 1 stubbornly refused despite clearly holding us up for 9 holes having lost at least 4 holes themselves. May not have to let us through but it was the thing that spoiled the course experience. Club house vey accommodating and friendly

A very nice course by the sea with some interesting holes.

We played on a lovely day but if windy and wet it will show its teeth.

Superb greens.

Awesome

Played here on way back from a trip to the open and it was truly a stunning course. Views are awesome and the course was challenging, tight in places and with lots of blind tee shots.

The last 5 holes are the best closing 5 holes I’ve ever played., anywhere. Worth the trip?

Just such a pleasure

The best greens I’ve putted on anywhere - amazing greens - true & fast ( no pitch marks ! ) one green color - and in the middle of a dry hot spell of weather . Great layout also . I love the final 5 holes across the road . Here on holiday for a couple of weeks - will play it another 2 or 3 times .

Course in good condition

The course was in excellent condition apart from the bunkers which definitely required to have new sand installed . The sand in them is hard compacted with small peebles it’s ok for fairway bunkers but the green side bunkers are too difficult to play out of because of their lack of good quality sand

Was good course, but can’t help but complain about the bunkers. Hardly any sand in so was difficult to get out. I did see some new sand at the clubhouse so they looking too improve them, fair play. Would play again though ⛳️

Simply stunning

Have played here several times but on this occasion, the course was in magnificent condition!

The greens were immaculate and ran true and the tee boxes looked like we were in a tournament!

We had probably the best weather of the year to date also.

Coastal gem

Played this course just a few weeks ago and just had to come back. Stunning views. A couple of holes are a bit close together but sight lines are good. We will return.

Coastal gem

Played on a sunny, warm day which always helps.

Tightly packed in which does make for some shots close to or crossing by other holes.

Fairways were showing signs of stress after a long dry spell but greens were rolling straight & true.

Views over Tynemouth and along the coast are spectacular.

Will be back soon for a second round.
