Worst course in this part of the world
Book this today for my son's 9th birthday. 9.28am tee time. We had no breakfast because we assumed, as the adverts for societies etc said, there would be bacon rolls/full English/coffee available. Turned up at 8.20. Pro shop closed. Club main doors closed. Side door to bar was open, so i went in and asked if there was any food on.Membership £810 plus £500 booking fee, this place, by the way.
Went over to the practice ground. Practice ground is flat for the first 10 yards then it's so downhill that your shots are blind. No good when picking up your balls and someone else is hitting into you not even knowing you're there.
Warmed up, mooched back over to the club. Still no lass in the bar, but i managed to get a coffee from some machine. Zero food though, 9.10am now.
The practice putting green is so severely sloped that that's no straight putt on it and every putt is either massively down or uphill. Doesn't make for getting your feel before the round.
The actual course, a big pile of meh. No real holes to remember and several that were just annoyingly uphill. Greens were fine. Bunkers either no sand or far too much sand. Fairways and rough very patchy in places. Holes full of water despite being in a very dry spell nearing June.
Overall, for £40 each for a round (1 adult and 1 junior) midweek, the course is an absolute disgrace and i would never play there again. The only good thing is a friendly pro and very well stocked pro shop.
This course and the facilities is worth no more than £20 a round midweek, but because it's in the affluent Castle Eden they get away with what they charge like absolute bandits.
Worst course in this part of the north east, when compared to Hartlepool, Seaton Carew, Sharpley and Seaham.
Would not play again.

Testing course in County Durham
Castle Eden has always had a good reprutation as a fantastic local course in our area. The course is treelined with some very testing holes. There is no water on the course, but there is drainage diches that are well marked around the course. It's resonably priced with a well stocked 19th and excellent food. You'll be welcomed by staff and members alike,(Round played: Oct 2017 - Score: 95 Handicap: 16.1)
