Barnard Castle
Excellent course in good condition greens been worked on so not as good as usual but understandable at this time of year
Worth a visit
Great track
Lots of different and interesting holes and in great condition
Joy to play
Good layout, true greens, fair rough and, overall, an enjoyable course.
Another enjoyable round
Great value round, course and greens in great condition. Always friendly staff in the shop and clubhouse, would highly recommend.
Nice Course but Savage Rough
We played this course just before noon on a Sunday, the course was in nice condition but they have let the rough grow deep just off most fairways. Coupled with a lot of blind tee shots and a strong wind. this made it very tough. The unnecessary rough just frustrates the average golfer and slows the whole course down. It took us 4.5 hours as a 2 ball and there were 8 people waiting on every tee.
Good course, well kept, but difficult layout at times
We’ve played Barney a few times in the last couple of years, and we’ve always found it relatively challenging but well kept and a joy to play. The abundance of little streams and becks throughout makes for a good challenge if you’re long off the tee, and the bunkers can be nasty traps.
The layout at times can be difficult to grasp - without a map on the scorecard, finding our way from 5th to 6th was a real difficulty and the signage isn’t the best. Really could do with a map on the scorecard, especially as quite a few tee shots are blind and I think it would really improve our experience.
More attention to detail
Currently there is no retained professional so the club shop was sparse with just a counter with a till and a few sweets and drinks. The course was in average condition the rough had been cut but the cuttings hadn’t been collected so looked quite untidy in places. The greens had been hollow tined a few weeks ago and so weren’t at their best and were quite slow which was understandable however there was still alot of sand around the outer edges of the greens which was a problem when trying to play a pitch and run onto the Greens. The members must be praised for repairing their pitch marks as I never saw one on any of the 18 greens. The course was very quiet and as a 2 ball we were never held up and completed our round in under 3 hours. Excellent clubhouse with friendly bar staff after our round.
Terrible greens. No pro shop open
Played here many times and this was by far the worst. Greens in terrible condition. Very heavily sanded - almost unplayable. Pro shop closed. No staff on hand. Not sure what’s going on - this course used to be a favourite of mine.
Course was a good set up good condition
Apart from they had sanded the greens just before played an was really thick might as well of been putting in bunkers
