Longhirst Hall Hotel & Golf - The Lakes Course

As a former member here I always like to come back for a knock, given the name the lakes you should expect the drainage to be bang on, but unfortunately not and it’s starting to show signs of getting boggy again, I understand we’ve had a fair bit of rain lately and hence this is why I left as it’s always overplayed, it’s a shame as it has the potential to be a fantastic course, great in summer, but no winter golf here

Complementing the Dawson course this track offers plenty of water challenges but really playable without feeling nervous on every shot. Was very windy when we played which made many shots very interesting, ground was firm underneath and soft on top after plenty of recent rain. We love these great value courses and look forward to playing again next year.

I’ve played the Dawson Course many times but never the Lakes, mainly because I’d heard it’s too hard! It was a very intimidating course but if you can hit it okay off the tee it is very scorable in places. Really enjoyed every hole!

Ive played the lakes course a few times , always in great condition ..and very challenging...i decided to play the dawson course the same day ...again great condition

Lakes course is one of the best in Northumberland but have just played 9 different courses like

As per usual a pleasant day good weather
No complaints from me.

Really interesting course but the pace of play was woeful which could easily be rectified.

The lakes side At longhurts t is a really good course,it was a snare on the 12/04/2022 that we had to cut our game sort due to the weather just couldn’t play. Hopefully next time we play we can play the full course

Played the lakes course 3 times over the winter and it was in its best condition on Saturday , the greens were pacy and true. And the course was dry and firm, well worth the £20 green fee.
