What the club says: Brancepeth Castle Golf Club was designed by the world famous architect Harry Colt in 1924 and laid out on what was Brancepeth Castle Deer Park, the stables and coach house being converted into the clubhouse. Brancepeth is a beautiful parkland course of 6400 yards SSS 70 offering a great variation of holes. The deep ravine cutting through the course, provides some challenging tee shots.

Lovely layout, good bar, nice pro shop

First time for me on this course, on a damp September afternoon. The fairways were lush, greens nicely kept but having been hallotined and add the dew, they were running particularly slow, which is a pity. Still managed a 77 which is good round for me. The course is really interesting and has three bridges across ravines which always makes for an interesting journey. Some hard holes but quite a lot of reachable holes, even the par fives. I really enjoyed the whole experience. The pro shop guys were really chatty and knocked a bit off for the greens maintenance and looked after us for clothing and drinks. We eat in the clubhouse and enjoyed the food there. I would definitely come back in better weather as I imagine in summer this is a belter and you would get much more run out on the fairways which would change scores a lot and greens would be harder to stay on i imagine.

Challenging course, however on this day found the weather better suited my play. Pin locations were favourable and course conditions were really good. Fairways were is a great condition too. There was no wind and this was beneficial towards a good score.

First time playing at this course but won't be my last. Absolutely amazing course in great surroundings. Tee shots near the castle are amazing. Great layout. Very clean. Fairways were in great condition. Club house was lovely. Nice pint and nice food. Greens were in the middle of repair so not the greatest of days play but was reflected in the lowered price.

Challenging

We arrived on an extremely wet day and the staff were excellent, accommodating us and allowing us to play on the course when they could have remained closed. Excellent customer service throughout. Lovely course, beautiful scenery.
