Changes for the better

It's been a good few years since I last played here and was pleasantly surprised with all the changes there has been. Hundreds if not thousands of trees have been removed and new bunkers added, greens ran true and looked nice but lacked pace. Overall course was in great nick will look even better once the grass grows where the trees once were and they finish off the little features, will be playing this course again soon

shambles

This course stipulated winter wheels on trolleys which is fair enough, we therefore booked two trolleys with winter wheels the day before. When we turned up we were told the trolleys were not available but we could hire normal trolleys (even though we had perfectly good trolleys which we had not brought). We then turned up to the first tee 10 mins before our tee off time, only to find 16 people in from of us. Seemingly this was the sweep which should have been gone by 10:30. Place is an absolute shambles. We did get a full refund from Teeofftimes.co.uk who were superb.

Chesterlee Street Golf Club

The front nine better than the back nine.
However renovations taking place.
Ground very soggy so would suggest tee times in other seasons other than winter.
Pleasant scenery along river and around Lumley Castle.
Pro Shop well stocked.
Clubhouse ok but no food available after 3pm not even a sandwich.

Hot Deal or Bust

Course wasn't in great shape; and that doesn't even include the work that is being done to some holes. Some very fun and challenging holes that test your abilities! Staff was very friendly and answered all questions we had!

Excellent value for money

We booked an early tee off time and it was just a well we did, it was their open competition day. The club had no issues with us going off before the start of the competition, it was as if we had the course to ourselves, no hold up`s or waiting on any of the tee`s.
We would definitely play here again and recommend this course.

Great course

It's the second time I have played here.the first was over the winter but thought I would come back and see it in full glory and wasn't disappointed one bit the greens were fantastic. Fairways a little boggy off the deluge of rain the past few days but in all really well kept course. Well done green keepers you should be proud

The course was very very wet underfoot and even on top of the hill it was still wet, made the course very long
