Reviewed Sep 17 2018 by Graham/Scotland - rated 2 out of 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

Greens had just been treated and were really sandy so that affected the round a little but aside from that it’s a cracking little course, nice, mature and set with a touch of difficulty(Round played: Oct 2017 - Score: 91 Handicap: 22.2)

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.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Mar 19 2017 by Colin Morgan - rated 1 out of 5 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.

Reviewed Jun 21 2016 by David Walker, W. Auckland - rated 3 out of 5 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!

Reviewed Apr 5 2015 by Bob G, seaton carew - rated 2 out of 5 Poor course, loads of temporary greens in play, not good for this time of year. Mats in play instead of tees and it's April. Members are not too happy from what i heard in the clubhouse. Played snooker, really good table although too much swearing in the room and not acted on by the manager
