Gosforth Golf Club

Good course friendly. However pace of play at times poor. Was a number of older players who failed to allow people to play through and created a delay on back 9.

First time playing. Nice course some challenging holes. Good course overall with good speed of play. Would recommend it and definitely play again

Nice course, friendly staff, some lovely holes with elevation.

Good course a few difficult par 5s,but like the set up and thinking of becoming a member next year

Great little course. Always well kept. Greens very good and quick. Highly recommended

Very friendly guys around the club area. Nice course layout and in good condition. Greens are good for this time of year due to the weather we have had.
Definitely play this course again.

Considering the ridiculous amount of rain and cold temperatures that we have had during May the course is in good condition with greens and bunkers especially well cared for – the condition of the course is a credit to the green keeping staff and reflects the hard work that has undoubtedly gone into the general upkeep. The course is relatively short but incorporates some changes in elevation, wooded areas and some tricky blind shots into raised greens which combine to make play interesting. Sadly there are a couple of negative points – our group and the group in front of us were held up by a very slow 4 ball which added circa 40 minutes to the round and resulted in some frustration – from speaking to others I understand that this is a regular problem - maybe some signage asking slow groups to “give way” at the bridle path would help with this - also visitors need to be aware that the access road into the course car park is very tight and is used by the general public for walking and cycling – it’s a bit dangerous especially so at the Ouse Burn bridge access road section which would be much improved if the bridge incorporated a pedestrian footpath.

I booked this as my first course back after 7 years of not playing and I was not disappointed, the course is very well maintained, after a rainy day previously and a foggy morning the greens still had pace and the ground was going good. Thouroughly enjoyed my first game back and would definitely play here again.

Had a great afternoon playing this course, very helpful staff in the pro shop gave course advice before starting and a nice general overview.
Course was in great condition and a nice challenge without being off putting.
Highly recommend this course

I gave the 4 ball in front of me 23 minutes before stepping on to the tee box on the 1st hole (I tee'd off on-time). At this point, they still hadn't cleared the green (reachable with a drive) so I had to wait further to play my first shot. By this time there was a group behind who gave us 5 minutes before teeing off themselves (One reaching the green side bunker whilst I was stood on the green).
Took 7 holes before I was waved through. Despite being ready at each tee box - including a par 3 when they hadn't even hit their tee shots.
Once I did play through the groups in front were caught within a few holes. At one point 3 groups were playing one hole. An incredibly slow 3 ball, holding up a 4 ball, holding up 2 2 balls.
Speaking to members they commented on these groups being notoriously slow.
When I finished the queue to tee off was incredibly long. The club need to manage the tee off spacing and pace of play better.

Third time playing this course in the last few weeks and I would thoroughly recommend it. Course is a great test and the normal greens are in great nick. Only let down were the 4 temporary greens which are a nightmare to putt on!
