Lovely course in great setting
A challenging course with some long difficult par 3's. Course was very dry which made the greens fast and difficult to judge as a number of opening holes have OB behind them. Very enjoyable day playing in Annondata competition, home club very well supported by members following the matches.(Round played: Sep 2019 - Score: 88 Handicap: 12.5)

Not a very challenging course (my handicap 16) fairly straight forward ho!es.
I was disappointed to have paid full fee for temporary greens , with the 7th hole not playable at all! Pro in shop only said a couple of holes in temp greensP
First time I was going to leave game early due to course,rather than my game!!
Sorry I would not go back

municipal course at best
On par with most municipal golf courses.average in every aspect.members are brain washed and highly rate the course if only they went and played somewhere else they would realise it is an average course.5 mins down the road you have Brancepeth castle golf club which is exceptional and probably the best course in County Durham.Reviewer Rating

The worst course I have ever played,the only thing that is missing on the greens is a volcano and windmill because it is like playing crazy golf on a big scale.the members are delusional about it been a great course,I think it would make a better car park for kinryn than a dog track.

Greens were far too slow. New 2nd green is far too high so difficult to hold with anything longer than a 7 iron in hand - badly designed. Fairways were great and the course itself is a really good challenge - just the greens letting it down. Had a lovely meal, bar staff were great however there was too much swearing coming from the snooker room. Staff apologised however nothing was done to control them - they thought they had to be served before non members!
