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.

Well worth a visit !

The course was far better than we expected. In terms of basics greens were true a little slow, but good, fairways were good and the tee boxes were excellent. The variety of holes was wonderful and the par threes were unbelievably good, what a challenge they were and in perfect conditions. What I would like to mention was how welcoming the members were, particularly the lady who lent me a plaster. The staff were great with the exception of the pro shop ! However great experience all round and I am already looking forward to my next visit.

This is a golf course that should be on all golfers' radar as it offers so much for the visitor. The fees for its quality are excellent, its history unsurpassed, and the fun to be experienced by taking on its challenges to be relished.

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.
