Like a Patchwork Quilt
Not been to this course for 3 years, but decided to give it a go today, BOY do I wish I saved my money. The whole course was scruffy, every fairway and green was a patch work, after 5 holes, I was so dissapointed, I left. Save your money, travel to Wynyard, Stokesley, MIddlesbororugh or Saltburn, they are one hundred times better than the state of this course.Reviewer Rating

Friendly staff just shame on the ?25 price tag for 18 holes. Also available 9 holes for ?20 which I think is shocking for this course. Tee boxes and greens need a lot of attention. Tee boxes horrible. Greens very patchy with soil and sand and not level. This is not just a one off thing. This has been like this for years and still does not get any better. Course needs a tad updating with bins and ball washers. Better signs for holes directions. Tee box stone information needs a make over with new stones or even some nice paint. The pace of play was shocking. Very slow. They try to get as many people on in one go and no reasonable gaps between play. Club house has been remodelled and looks spot on. Just the rest of the course needs doing to match the price of play.

improving all the time
since new management it has come on leaps an dbounds. Yes a couple of months ago the greens got worse, but that was because it was the start of the greens being looked after and revived and they had to get worse before they get better. They now have around 3 groundsmen including a qualified greenkeeper. the greens have been hollowtined and sanded and they are improving all the time. yes they aren't the fastest or undulating of greens but they are a lot better than they have been. They have a bar and food available now as well as a great Teaching pro with a simulator on site now. its going from strength to strength and a great course for the price.Reviewer Rating

Poorly kept
Price has increased with nonwzrningvwhen z tee time was booked. Now £25 per rond on a weekend. Greens are very poor, patchy with mushrooms growing on them. Fairways were patchy and long, in somdxareas you could barely notice the differrnce between fairways and rough.Reviewer Rating

Needs some TLC
Having not played at Throston for a number of years, I was interested to see the course after reading some mixed reviews. I was not aware that the course was under new management or the reasons why it seems to have been neglected. It was clear to see groundsmen working around the course,watering greens etc however there are a number of priority areas that need attention. Some of the greens were patchy,others had mushrooms and dandelions on them. Fairways probably just need a lot of water on them together with weedkiller. Yardage markers on the fairways were non existent. Bunkers need topping up with sand rather than the granular stuff that is in them. The concrete tee boxes showing hole numbers,yardage etc probably all need replacing. I have a lot of sympathy for whoever the new owner is as there are so many improvements to make I guess it is a question of priorities as to where to start. I understand there are plans to put in a bar which the club has never has but I would hope the course is improved first before this happens.£20 a round was probably a bit pricey considering the condition. It was clear to see the efforts being made , I will probably play the course again if only to see the improvements first hand.Reviewer Rating

Used to here here all the time- a while back now However was the first time back today and unfortunately it doesn't look like it's getting looked after. Tee areas where scuffed and also cans of stella on nearly every hole and tee box. Greens where patchy and rather long with mud bubbles all over and also the bunkers where just hard sand like concrete ( never ended up in a bunker tho) it's such a shame because it does have potential to be good however I shall not be returning for the foreseeable until it gets better.Reviewer Rating
