Terrible Pace of Play and poor conditions

This was the second time I played Newcastle. I find the layout to be varied and interesting and was excited to return. Unfortunately we were warned on the first tee that 2 fairways would be in rough shape and pace may be a bit slow. The reality was that every single fairway was completely bare with weeds growing. Even worse was the pace of play. I can't tell you how long it would have taken to play 18 holes because I walked off after the 11th just over 3.5 hours into round. The group behind us quit as well.

Course is in poor condition

It would almost seem like this course is in receivership by the condition of the fairways and greens. Very rough, dried out and full of weeds everywhere. Price was okay if you don't mind being in a dust cloud every time your club hits the ground. Always enjoyed playing this course but it looks like it will soon be in the hands of a housing developer.

Save Your Money!!!

I’ve golfed probably 20 rounds this season and this course is by far the worst that I have played !!
Fairways are horrible, greens , the worst I have ever seen, even tee box were in terrible condition!!
I will not golf here again, it was over 25 yrs since the last time I played, probably be the same amount of time when I play again!

Don't Do It

#newcastlegolf and country club #don'tdoit #saveyourmoney. #pastureputt

June 27 feel like we wasted more than$100 for two people. The round was more than 5 1/2 hours long. There were 3 to 4 groups at each tee. The front nine is in horrible condition, no grass on fairways and the greens are very shaggy. Will not be back. Save your money for another course and you will be happier. Sad, we use to enjoy this course a few times a year.

Terrible conditions.

The owners are scraping every dollar they can out players and putting ZERO back in. This used to be the Hidden gem of the area, it’s sadly no more. The course is in terrible condition, the owners blame it on grubs but literally every hole is awful. The only properly maintained green is the 9th because it’s the visual one next to the clubhouse. Several fairways have large staked off areas and are near unplayable. The fairways that do have grass are not mowed, being no difference between the center of the fairway and the rough. Even worse is having to wait and play around disc golf players all over the back 9, another cheap gimmick to skim a few extra bucks instead of actually taking care of the course. It’s sad what’s come of this place because I used to love it there.

Not worth

Was quite shocked on how poor the course condition was in. With not having anyone on the course during the lockdown, I would’ve thought he conduction would’ve been a lot better. Outside of that the biggest irritant was this disc golf that’s being played around the back nine.
