What the club says: South Moor Golf Course was designed by Dr. Alister MacKenzie, one of only two MacKenzie designed courses in the region. Durham's only true heathland course and one of only 40 or so in the UK. At 6,273 yards from the back tees, the course is hardly long by today's standards but with a premium on accuracy it would be foolish to try to overpower the course with the driver, particularly with out of bounds a factor on eleven holes.

Great course tucked away in county Durham. Has a number of hilly pats. The course was well maintained although some areas were wet underfoot. The greens were in excellent condition.(Round played: Oct 2019 - Score: 93 Handicap: 23.3)

The hospitality and friendliness of the staff was lovely. They couldn?t have done more to make our day enjoyable. Thank you.

Reviewed Jun 26 2016 by David B - rated 5 out of 5 This is my local course and is great. Not every par 4 hole is a driver, that's what makes it exciting. Plenty of blind tees, dog legs a few par 3's for interest. The course is split between Oakland and heathland. Give it a go, you will like it, I'm sure

Reviewed May 30 2013 by M.Kirkbride - rated 4 out of 5 Great and challenging course, thats in great condition , few blind holes.
A course where the driver isn't always necessary from the tee box , which makes you think about your shot more. Could do with a few more distance markers but overall great.
Staff friendly and good pro shop.
