Nice open rolling course.

Nice straightforward course in good condition in a good central location and a very fair price. Not too many hazards.

Winter golf…

First time at this course as my playing partner couldn’t travel far from Newcastle today.

Must of had 12/14 winter greens, that were shocking. There was no mention of this anywhere when we arrived or a heads up in the shop.

Fairways hadn’t been looked after, a mess actually. 12 holes at least were just bland, nothing going on and to top it off, dog walkers on the course. Even for £12 I wouldn’t go back

You get what you pay for, cheap

Cheap round, 2nd shots are a lottery due to ripples on the fairways, leading to terrible lies, very frustrating if you drive well and have an unfair lie for your 2nd.

Well looked after course

The course is in good condition. The undulating ground caused problems with the lie but did not detract too much from the game.

Disappointing Greens

Was a little disappointed to find all greens hole 1 to 18 were fully sanded and had holes poked.

Some tee boxes were not maintained and like hitting out of the rough.

Overall a decent experience.

Green green grass

Had a round at Newcastle United with Tom, The course was on really good condition considering the summer we have had followed by a couple of days of torrential rain. Greens were great and the whole place well looked after.. May sound daft but links feel in the middle of a city.
Couple of weird bounces due to the undulations which also play havoc with my knees.
Shop good friendly helpful as was everyone we met out on the course.
Rough is a knock out if your lucky. Definitely would play again.

Steady away

Played it for the first time. Picked a quiet day so ample car parking. . greens were in great condition what a test for the putter only thing that spoiled it for me was the undulating fairways not a flat lie on the course up and down dale on every hole . Called in for a pint and the beer was great staff very friendly sat outside on the tables in the sun .
