What the club says: At 6222 yards, the course provides a fair test of golf for players of all abilities. The course is noted for its fine greens, easy walking and magnificent views all round, particularly over the Tyne estuary, north to the Cheviot hills and south over Wearside to the Cleveland Hills.
The course seldom closes due to excellent drainage through the limestone base on which it is built, ensuring good conditions underfoot throughout the year.

Braid/MacKenzie - some cracking holes

It's a bit uppy-downy the first 4 holes then it startsto add some character, especially around the turn, when you get that true feeling of MacKenzie bunkering and greens with mad drop offs.
For £25 after 2pm on a weekday, this is great value. Greens nice, fairways great - it's got sandy/links roots (whitburn is right behind it).

Decent course. Played late on Saturday so pace of play was good. I’ve played on better greens but they weren’t bad. Lots of rain over night so a bit of standing water

Excellent course, in exceptional condition

An outstanding course. The tee boxes are the best I've played and the greens fantastic. A couple of the 4s on the back nine are in reach for some.
