Reviewed May 18 2025
Played 17/5/2025 we paid 180 for a 4 ball absolute rip off the greens are a disgrace the first has ,so much sand on it it's actually unplayable your ball just stops the 2nd isn't much better ,the rest of the greens are also in dreadful condition the grass is dead or dying from some disease or they don't water them ,so it virtually impossible to put on ,some look like people have been chipping on them rather than putting, for what we paid we all felt absolutely conned ,for the club to think it's acceptable to charge that much when they know how terrible condition the course is currently in is almost as bad as the state of the greens , I'm never playing again there which is a shame it has potential ,but they obviously don't give a monkeys about the condition of the course ,unless this changes I'd recommend everyone avoids it at all costs and plays elsewhere

Average course
Played numerous courses in Co Durham,this is just another average course it’s no better than a pay and play municipal to be as honest. there isn’t anything about the course that would warrant another game there.Considering the best course in the northeast is only 2 minutes away at Brancepeth castle.also found it was to busy and overplayed.Reviewer Rating

A well established well maintained course. Every hole is tree lined on both sides with a river running alongside 4 holes. Greens are a good size and receptive.

Played here (for first time) yesterday afternoon - Friday 14th September 2007.
The course set up is really great. The natural lie of the land and very mature tree lined holes make for a great experience & a bit of a test to say the least.
The biggest part of "the test" undoubtedly comes from the greens - which depsite being generous in size - must be some of the hardest to read in the North East!
This coupled with a greenkeeper with a savage sense of humour as far as pin plaements are concerned made for some entertainment! (The par 3 second was an obvious example)
About the only thing the place can be faulted for is the lack of a course guide / strokesaver, as for the first timer, a lot of the tees play blind.
With green fee's of only £12 yesterday with the use of a 2-Fore!-1 voucher makes this extremely good value for money.
Well worth the visit.
I'll definately be arranging a return trip.
