Nice Old Style Course, good for

I got there pretty early and was struck by it's layout. Pretty friendly staff and starter, I was pleased by the way they treated me all round. The course was in good shape, though I do have to reduce two stars for a few patchy fairways and greens. I loved the trees, view and challenge. The fairway are generous, but the trees will come into play on many holes. if you hit a good shot, you will score well, but a mishap will cost you. It's a course I would enjoy playing match-play. I will go again.

Poor Condition

I have played their many times over the last 10 years this is the worst condition it has been in. Played there once last year it wasn’t the best. Even worse this time. Not worth $70 in this condition. Won’t be going back anytime soon.

“Given up”

The owners/operators will take all the money from players and not put a dollar back in. No Fairways at all. Dead grass and greens. Save your money and go somewhere that has pride in their course.

Not in good condition!

They had a month to grow grass.
Very disappointed. Golf course in the past has always been in great shape.
I will try again next year.

Gone way downhill

In years past this has been my go-to course to play. The conditions used to be incredible with well groomed fairways and greens that were very tricky to play but fair. In the last couple of years the conditions have gone WAY down. Near the end of the 2020 season it was really bad but expected them to repair that for 2021. Unfortunately the conditions only got worse and some holes are near unplayable. In years past we used to joke that we're going to Newcastle GC for the food as it used to be excellent. Now you can't get a sandwich without stale bread and little to no meat on it. Don't even try the sausages. The prices have crept up yet the conditions and food quality have done the opposite. Staff are still nice but it will be hard to convince me to return in 2021.

Nice course wasted

Over the past 2 years this course has gone from must play to DO NOT play. Conditions are beyond poor. Course was once great and now is a wreck. What a waste.

Great Time!

I had a great time this weekend at Newcastle! The staff was so friendly and I love how they have two beer cart girls going around, fantastic customer service! The course is long and some holes are challenging but it is a great time. My family and I love this course and we will be returning ASAP! Thank you Newcastle golf course!

Fall round

For a fall round it was a good time, some damage to the greens. I have played this course in the summer months and I have found in the fairways and the rough that the ground is very hard, hard enough that it is difficult to get under the ball as some points my club bounces off the ground it’s that hard. This doesn’t happen on all holes, mainly the front nine. But great value for the price, I will play there again. The staff is always friendly and the never had a issue with pace of play they are always on top of it.

A lot of fairways are dirt

Disappointed with course. Most tee boxes are dirt. A lot of fairways on front nine are dirt. Waiting on every shot on every hole. Greens rolled nice but overplay and golfers not fixing divots results in a bumpy ride.

Used to be above average course but now, below average.

Steer Clear!!

This course was so dry that most of the fairways were dirt. There were dead patches on almost every green. It looked like they hadn't watered some areas all summer. Even at a good price it was a big disappointment.
