Roseberry Grange Community Golf Club
Played On 07/05/2023South Moor Golf Club
Played On 06/29/2023Lovely course.
First time playing and enjoyed it. Looking around the whole course, there was only two four-balls. I was eventually played through. Great condition. Was difficult to judge distances because only 150yrd marker was visible. Nice food and drinks at the end. Would recommend.
Ravensworth Golf Club
Played On 08/04/2020A little disappointing.
I hadn't played here for about 10 years and was a little disappointed. My brother and I, started the round at about 4pm. Because I hadn't played there for such a long time, my course knowledge was nonexistent.
Almost every hole and shot was a blind shot. From memory, the following flags weren't visible from the teebox: 1,2,4,6,8,9,13 ,14,16,17. I understand the layout is on several hills but every hole was daunting.
Another off putting feature was a lack of yardage signs. These are essential, if all you have is a vague direction of flag location.
The course was well maintained but I wont be playing again due to the lack of yardage signs. The amount of blind shots was also excessive.
Heworth Golf Club
Played On 07/29/2020Broke 80 for the first time.
I thoroughly enjoyed playing at Heworth. I hadn't played there for about 10 years but was like being reintroduced to an old friend.
Upon arrival, l entered the club shop and I was greeted by Adrian the golf pro. What a lovely guy, we chatted and discussed the recent purchase of clubs (Ping G400 irons and matching 3 Wood). His brother Warren is just as nice but wasn't there on this occasion.
The course had matured well, since my last visit. The greens ran true, no nasty surprises. The noticeable difference was the removal of the daunting long grass in front of the 17th tee box. Good move, I had lost many a ball there as a junior. I also liked the junior tee boxes, again I would have loved this when I was a junior member here (20+ years ago).
My only criticism, is you needed to buzz to gain entry into the club house. Felt a little unwelcoming.
Overall, a great course, well worth 20 quid.
