Whickham Golf Club - Crombie Course

Great course for first timer with mate, we didn't know what to expect up ahead, there is few rounds that are uphill, we have no idea where the green layout will be, that's bit challenging. Of course we now know where green layout will be for next time (if we remember) pretty happy with stableford points, I got 35 pts and my mate 34pts. Fee are bit pricey but overall it been great experience. We will be happy to go back again.

Booked on golf now to play 6th April, arrived to play off winter mats ! Not tee boxes . 7-8 winter greens in play because of greens maintenance. Which has to be done . But very disappointed not to be informed of the course conditions as it might have made me think twice before playing. Course is a great layout and I am keen to play in summer to see course in its full splendour.

A great course that makes you think every shot rather than simply walking up and hitting it. A challenge for both high and low handicappers. Friendly staff and in a brilliant condition despite a week of wet weather prior.

Booked fourball today at Whickham who had no warnings on GolfNow site about greens work being undertaken this week, unlike other courses in the area which we obviously avoided. We specifically chose this course for that very reason. We arrived to see a couple of temporary greens in view so asked how many were in place to be told “ maybe one or two, possibly a few more” at the pro shop, and at the bar where we had to book in, that “the green keepers are working on a couple of greens today” . They advised Golf now had been told about it but apparently it was their error that a warning was not on screen. It was too late to go elsewhere with poor weather forecast later in the day so we decided to go ahead and play. Extremely disappointed to find about 10 temporary greens which totally spoilt our game. Whilst the £21 green fee was not ridiculously expensive, all four of us were extremely disappointed with what happened and felt hard done by. Surely there must have been some communication from their greenkeepers to their staff and quite honestly it felt like we had been conned? Very disappointed, unlikely to return

Great condition as always. Lovely course I’d recommend to anyone.

What a great knock, course in beautiful condition great fairways and greens although not very quick, tree lined fairways and dog legs keep you thinking and having to plot your way round . Pace of play was good 3 and half hours for a 3 ball will definitely play again

Had to walk off after 9 holes due to rain and wind. Sinbad it broke my umbrella.
I was really enjoying the course and would definitely like to return.
Had you be able to cancel your booking and get a refund I would have done after realising how bad the weather was going to be.

Course was in pretty good condition but two holes were off due to work being done which would of been nice to know before we booked and paid for the round
