What the club says: The Lakes - The wonderful par 72 Championship Course was opened in 1997 and plays to 6,572 yards from the championship tees. Set within 180 acres of Northumberland countryside the course design is based around an 'American Style' ethos, with plenty of water to catch anyone not hitting straight from the tee. The famous Longhirst wildlife inhabit the many lakes that frame the fairways, so you can share surroundings with plenty of ducks, geese and swans whilst you search for the birdies! If you're looking for a little piece of Florida on this side of the pond look no further than Longhirst Hall Golf Club. This is a hidden gem!
The Dawson Course - offers a different challenge to The Lakes at Longhirst. Measuring 6,713 yards from the white tees, it is actually longer but the holes have been modelled to create wider fairways and large greens to contrast with the more demanding Lakes Course.
The addition of the state of the art driving range, a visit here is a must, particularly for visting parties and societies.
Both courses have hosted The PGA Europro tour, with the event returning to The Lakes course in July 2017.

Played on Tuesday in perfect weather. It was busy but got round with our 2 ball no problem. Dawson course was lovely too, with greens running a lot quicker than my home club. Some areas looking a bit dry but it was red hot. Staff in bar were great too. Will returnReviewer Rating

The course is in good condition and there are lakes you can play around or over. It's just the right length and provides a challenge. The clubhouse is great and the staff are friendly and welcoming.

Heavily played but decent course
You can tell this course has heavy footfall. Many areas, especially tee boxes are void of grass. But in general the course is in good condition with excellent drainage. Good variety of holes with some thought needed. I believe the members aren't too happy about the number of visitors and the tee times they get to choose but as a 36 hole complex they seem to manage. Would play again no problems but not any sort of top regional course in my opinion. Relatively good value green fees and winter playability ensure the course stays busy but I've never known play to be any less than reasonable pace. 3'35 for our 3 ballReviewer Rating

Layout of this course is very challenging with lots of water, not many tee shots require the driver. Sometimes you get penalised for good tee shots which is a shame. Played in August and the greens were obviously impacted by a dry summer, tee boxes were in bad condition. However, for ?18 is very good value.

Mr
Played both the Dawson and Lakes Course via booking with GolfNow, £18 each; great value for money. Both courses are exceptionally picturesque and the welcome from staff and members is spot on. Don’t let some of the wide fairways trick you into thinking this is going to be a sub-hcp round. A great test of golf where distance off the tee and accuracy are both rewarded in equal measures. Would highly recommend playing these courses.Reviewer Rating

Played The Lakes after hearing the great reviews.WOW was not disappointed.
This is the best looking course I've played on in the whole North East, and I thought I'd seen most.
Looking at booking again next week and even getting a membership (after telling everyone, I'll never join a course as prefer playing them All)
However I would make an exception in this case, without even playing the Dawson course which rumoured to be just as nice.
On a Sunny day, you would swear you were in the USA on a Florida Course.
Highly recommended
Can't wait to play it again next week.

Challenging course in great condition
Played the Dawson recently as part of a society day and the course was in great condition.From a friendly welcome in the clubhouse where great care has been taken with social distancing measures to great organisation out on the course it was a cracking day out. There is a fantastic practice facility which many of our group took advantage off prior to teeing off.
With a stiff wind on the day the already challenging course played tough but fair. Greens were receptive and rolled true, rough is punishing and watch out for the water (of which there is still a fair bit).

Today I played the lakes course at Longhirst. Now considering the club like many others has had to continue maintenance through Covid and combat the unusual long periods of dry weather, the course was immaculate and in superb condition. The fairways were lush and green and the greens were quick and true. I highly recommend this golf course to anyone looking for a round, it’s excellent value and a real hidden gem
