Great course but very busy

Great course but extremely busy as there is only 6mins between Tee times. Played on a Thursday and every Tee we had to wait but it did not spoil it to much as it is a spectacular course.

Booked through GolfNow but be aware if you don’t book a fourball they will put a random person with you, very strange but obviously just to make money.

The course is fantastic and the first hole has got to be one of the best in the North East. Greens are in great condition and are very tricky. With the hot weather the fairways have dried out but it just adds to the course, making it play and look like a links course.

I lived beside the old 18 Green 70 years ago, too young to play but old enough to find golf balls, and sledge on the course when snow fell. It was nice to be able to play the course, in excellent condition with some trivky hokrs

Lovely Track

One of the best courses in the north east in my opinion.

Each hole is unique, mostly with mounds both sides of the fairways and raised tee boxes

Really enjoyed it
