First time I've played this course, I found it to be a nice, well kept course, greens are in great condition and are mostly consistent with each other in terms of pace.

Do you want a test of playing to your handicap, I played on a sunny day, force 4 westerly wind, greens very quick, give yourself a dayout and see your dreams shattered. Treat yourself to a buggy, you will need it.

I travelled to Seaham with moderate expectations after looking at their website but upon arriving immediately knew that an enjoyable day was in store. The course has some very short holes but you will need to make the most of these as there are also some long par 3's, 4's and a 549 yard par 5 (off the yellows) to make up for this. The greens were fast and true with some severe borrows to test the best of putters and, pleasingly, the bunkers actually had some nice sand in them instead of the hard clay-like substance I so often find these days.
Everyone around the course was very welcoming and the small pro shop was packed to the rafters with all of the latest gear. £27 for a full day's golf is money well spent at Seaham but using 2 Fore 1 vouchers you can play all day for £13.50 - what a bargain. Looking forward to returning already.

As a high handicapper i found seaham an excellent course to play. The majority of holes pose a challenge but with the course being relatively short you can enjoy the challenges without seeing your score rack up to a discouraging level. First impressions of the course are that it looks fairly average and nothing exciting, but that changes once you realise that the greens are very well guarded and the greens themselves are fast and rarely straightforward to putt on. A word of warning - beware the green on the 17th it is much steeper than it first looks and its a very stiff put from the front and a very speedy demise if you are putting down from the back. The holes around the turn are great opportunities to make up shots but these are evened out by other holes such as the 16th which can be real card wreckers. Obviously it's wise to hit the fairways however if you do miss them then the rough is a punishment without making you feel you'll never find your ball again. The people around the course were really friendly and the pro shop is very well stocked. We used 2 fore 1 vouchers so the value for a days golf was very good. We went to Seaham to try somewhere new which took the vouchers even though it was a bit further a way than we usually travel. We turned up not expecting anything special but Seaham surpassed our expectations and we had a great days golf. We will be back.

Always enjoy playing this course albeit I feel SR doesn't truly reflect how tough this course can be...particularly the par 3's. Always provides a good test for any level golfer.

Tough, tightish, definitely hilly. Some good holes!
Entry and start point of the course a bit uninspiring. But that changes as soon as you're approaching the 1st green. The welcome at the club was excellent. Very friendly and informative. When you do get out on the course there are some really testing holes. Course has some tough hills. Some blind tee shots too, and there's a couple of tight spots on the course where the holes run tight to other players. But very impressed with some nice holes. Good greens. Sand was ok. Some gorse and nasty rough around the course but if you find that you deserve to be in it... Generally doesn't come into play. Fairways were occasionally a bit unkempt but fine. Wasn't expecting much given some reviews but was pleasantly surprised. Not an easy round of golf by any stretch. I wouldn't look fwd to playing it twice a week unless I had an electric trolley for sure! Enjoyed our day though, ta.(Round played: Jul 2020 - Score: 95 Handicap: 13.6)

Seaham is quite hilly in places with some interesting holes. It is mainly just a boring old up and down course. Always kept in good condition so it is enjoyable.

Farmer's Field
The course at £25 a pop is cheaper than the others in the area but to be honest someone should have paid me to play here. I thought it being quite dry recently that the course would be alright. It's not. It's like a farmer's field - fairways in dreadful condition, the rough is all boggy and you sink in it trying to play your shot. Any kind of divot taken results in you being covered in mud. I got off there looking like i'd been playing rugby. More GUR than you can shake a stick at. Greens awfully slow. Only course i've ever played where the wind is into you on every single tee box.Boggy, chewed up, worst course in north east. Wouldn't play again if you paid me.
