Course has potential
Played this course yesterday, great layout and views but terrible condition. Turned up early to practice but the facilities were awful, there's a chipping green that clearly isnt looked after as it was like chipping onto a scabby fairway. The practice ground where you need your own balls is a ten minute walk and you spend most of your time waiting to hit shots as it adjoins the first hole. At the bottom of the range is an old abandoned green. Onto the course and the tee boxes didn't look like they had been cut for a couple of weeks, greens were slow and bobbly. There are 4 newish greens that were absolutely terrible, spoke to some members afterwards in the very friendly bar and they said those new greens are always bad and hoped they would be dug up and replaced soon! I wouldn't pay to play here again until they sort the condition out, shame as it could be a really nice course.Reviewer Rating

Course is now in good nick, but could do with a closer cut. greens a little slow but can't complain due to the amount of rain we have had. Play it just for the par 5 no.12 superb will give you nightmares!

Superb layout
Always look forward to playing here and have done many times. It's a challenging but far test with many memorable holes. Played yesterday, 25th October and it was in fantastic condition with thecexception of some bunkers where the sand was so compacted they should've been classed as GUR. Nevertheless I'd highly recommend a visit.Reviewer Rating

Make no bones about it. If you can get around here playing to your handicap then enjoy your celebratory pint in the lovely Clubhouse. First hole...easy par 5. Then the 2nd brings you back down to earth. The fun continues. And it is fun. Not a poor hole on the course. The 12th is magnificent but only a taste to such a tough finishing stretch of the last four holes. Greens large and good speed.Views lovely. Sea air is bracing especially when it blows hard. A great track. Play it. You will return.

Lovely course, well kept. Pricey if not playing as a guest though. Club members although friendly, seem quite old fashioned and unduly strict about their golf and very cliquey. It's also the most aged membership i've seen at any golf club anywhere. Having said that, wouldn't hesitate playing again for the course quality.

One of the best layouts in the northeast of England, and new greenkeeper seems to be getting the course into the best condition in many many years. Quite long, but fair. Back 9 very strong, with a brutal par 5 (12th) which is justifiably (and unusually) the stroke index 1 hole. Last 5 holes are brilliant. Friendly new pro too. A club on the way up!

Really warm welcome and good course to match.
Played week after 7 weeks of rain but course held up well and greens were excellent concidering the amount of rain and difficulty with cutting them.
Overall a good course and worth a visit.
Watch out for the final 5 holes as your card could be easily wrecked and the 12 is a monster of a par 5 with lots happening to come away with anything over 7.
