We arrived to play the Lee Westwood Filly course and the service was second to none and the staff could not have been more helpful. The course has every facility you could need and the course itself was in excellent condition. There was no rush to play as all tee off times are spaced out to avoid queuing up at tee boxes. Greens were in excellent condition while it is an expensive round it is worth experiencing.

Very challenging course that is well looked after. There are 3 drivable par 4's to tempt the long hitter but with water and out of bounds around the holes you would need to hit the perfect shot otherwise have to lay up with an iron off the tee. There are some long par 5's that are hard to hit in 2 shots expecially into the wind. Would defiantly recommend this course to anyone wanting to challenge their score. The driving range facillities are probably the best Iv seen yet.

With two courses to choose from in the Filly Course and the Colt Course, you really cannot go wrong at Close House. Both the courses offer an exceptional challenge of golf, with the Colt Course arguably edging the Filly Course. Of the course the facilities are second to none, and the clubhouse is the perfect place to relax after your round.Reviewer Rating

Stunning setup. Played Colt course in pristine condition. Short and tight, rough is unforgiving. Greens hard and fast. Some fantastic tee shots. Get a buggy as some steep hills.

Steve, Durham rated 5 out of 5
Reviewed Apr 20 2015
Just played close house on a Sunday driver. Filly course disappointing, very short and open, didnt use more than a nine iron for any approach shot. Fairways and greens good, a few good holes round the turn but pretty nondescript other than that. The colt course however is amazing, stunning holes and stunning views, be aware though that it is built on a hillside and is very hard going in places. Not long from the yellow tees and quite forgiving for the wayward drives so there\'s no hunting for balls if you miss the fairways. Greens and firways fantastic and lovely fine sand in the bunkers. I play off five and shot 73, plenty of birdie opportunities are available so the opportunity is there for a good score. Rooms great, food good and £4 a pint so good value for money considering the location. Staff very friendly and accommodating nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommended well worth £125.

Played the LW Philly course on a tough windy day. Thoroughly enjoyed playing this course. Course management will save you a lot of shots on this course it makes you think this one! Cant wait to play the Colt course this sunday and review it! Staff very warm and accommodating! Facilities are 10 out of 10! Would highly recommend visiting if you are a golf fanatic! Cant comment on value as it was a present!
