Conditions let course down, course should of been closed,very heavy in places and greens needed cutting and rolling, think heavy conditions stopped this from being done, normally course is in good condition

Ramside course review

A once good hotel course is now in an awful condition. Bunkers full of weeds and soggy slow greens are a few of the problems you will encounter.

Nice course, could of been better conditions but late september so alright considering. Extremely poor pace of play stuck behind 2 four balls so ended with a 5 hour round. All in all quite decent. Recommend getting a buggy.

Nice course with great scenery

Played Ramside's Cathedral course as part of Sunday driver. This is the newest of the 2 courses, Was quite a wind blowing so found it tough in parts as is quite exposed. Course itself in good condition, still maturing in places, as potential to be a great course when a few trees have grown a bit more. So great looking holes especially the downhill par 3s. Greens in very good condition. Quite a walk from some greens to next tee and a bit lacking of signage, the couple in front of us missed out 3 holes by not seeing the correct signs, even though there is a map on the back of the scorecard! Will return some time if only to try and improve my scoring here.

Nice course, worth playing

Enjoyed playing the Ramside's Bishops course for first time. Great practice facilities, nice clubhouse, friendly welcome in pro shop.. Course in great condition, lush fairways, true greens. Some nice looking holes. Pace of play ok but we were a 2 ball following quite a few 4 balls. Well worth staying here on one of their deals, we were on a Sunday driver, great value for money as hotel is great.

Poor, cathedral course

Don't both, poor nick, greens hard to read, slow fast turn or not.
Get a sherpa or a buggy, you'll be mountain climbing.
Some hols are in different post codes to the other so Sat nav recommended.
We thought it was odd that the course was empty, until we'd played about half the course. play the other course prince bishop, thats much better

Amazing course

First time here and can’t wait to come back. Course is well kept, greens are great and the staff are very friendly. First impressions really count and they did well.

Fantastic Course In County Durham

This was first visit to Ramside Hall but i will definitely be back. The course was very tough due to the conditions but still in great condition especially the greens. The facilities are also top class. Enjoyed it so much i am considering taking up membership here.
