Longhirst - THE LAKES

Thoroughly enjoyed the game on Sunday afternoon. I found the layout, the course condition and especially the greens outstanding. Without doubt I would recommend this to any golfer of any standard.

Even makes me think of joining the club I was that impressed!

Extremely scenic

I had friends visiting from the south and my club was unable to accommodate us until the middle of the afternoon on a Saturday due to a medal comp.

We chose to play at Longhirst due to friends recommendations. Tee off Times had some good offers which we took advantage of on a Saturday.
There are two courses - we played 'The Lakes'. There are excellent views of Northumberland as you make you way around a well set out course with some really interesting and challenging holes, with plenty of water, as you would expect.

The fairways were in excellent condition and our only small recommendation would be to speed up the greens. In this respect we are used to quite quick greeens at our home clubs.

The clubhouse is confortable and gas a good range of reasonably priced food and drinks.

I would definitely recommend this course and would like to play it again.

challenging course for 28 handicapper

A while since I played here and forgotten how tough it can be. the lakes course has some wide fairways and long holes but you still have to have control in windy conditions and going off course is punishing. At £13 for my round it was excellent value. the greens were very firm causing the ball to skid off if given too much power but putting was very true.

Challenging course

Plenty of water to make it a real test. Course is in great condition. New driving range is fantastic and great value for money. £2 for 30 balls before hand. Great way to warm up for a round. State of the art pop up tees
