Give the Prince Bishops a miss until 2023

We visited Ramside in September 2021 and the Prince Bishops was in shocking condition, we complained and got a free return in Feb 2022. We have just returned and all 8 of us agreed we will not return to Ramside until 2023 at least. They have done nothing to the courses since installing drainage in 2021 and yet still look to charge the same money for the awful state they are in. Holes are shortened and the tees are sludgy messes. The 18th was shortened because of them building cabins, they are now finished so why not open the hole up or is the intention to leave it as a short par four SI5 ? The staff are great, really polite and understanding but it doesnt mean its worth paying good golf money for a course thats about ?15 standard. We played Sharpley the next day and it was superb for ?25. Ramside facilities and hotel are great, the Prince Bishops Course avoid and play the Cathedral as thats in better nick. Or better still go to Slaley, Rockliffe, Carden Park or Arden and get better value golf.

Let down by Hospitality & Friendliness of Team

Both courses are in fantastic condition, with the greens in particular a real standout.

Customer Service post round left a lot to be desired though. Waited 45 minutes for some chips, and then a further 25 minutes for my bill at the end!

Pace of play wasn't great, and appeared that poor planning was the main cause.

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.

Reviewed Mar 22 2016

This is the third time we have booked and played ramside and the third time they have been unable to verify our booking. We booked through 'direct tee time' and before you even step up to the desk you know they aren't gonna know you have booked. We were booked for 1030 and had to move it to 1130 as they had booked people over us even though it was available online. Service is by far the worst around. So we played the cathedral on previous occasions and was impressed although a new course it has a great layout and apart from in some areas is in great condition. This time around we played prince bishops and we were not impressed at all. We have played probably 5 or 6 courses locally not one of them had that much sand all over the tees and greens (it's April next week not December) It really was in woeful condition and for £20 was literally at least a fiver more expensive than anywhere else. Massively dissapointing can't help but compare this to the other top courses we have played round here (rockcliffe,brancepeth and Cleveland) and it's a shame to say this course is miles away from that standard.

Played the Prince Bishops course and found it to be worth every penny! Lovely course that is in great condition but fairly long, but fairly flat so ok to walk. Well worth a visit in my opinion so a big thumbs up from me

A nice course, a bit pricey especially with some shorter holes due to the tees being moved forward. Overall a nice day out

Reviewed Aug 1 2012

Decent club house but on the whole it's trying to be something it's never going to be. The course is dreadful. So many dog legs, most of which are right to left and bend after 150 yards so the best shot off the tee is a big slice - how can that be right. "Mickey Mouse" sums it up the best. If you want to pay over the odds for a course that rewards poor shots and where you can lose a ball from a perfect drive then look no further.
