1st time playing here, Can't fault it

Cracking day, first time playing at Garesfield and we really enjoyed it. Only downside was all the greens were winter greens but when the normal greens reopen they should be absoutley spot on. Had pretty much a clear course in front of us the whole way round until the 18th hole. Lad I played with 'Dan' nearly drove to one of the greens from his tee shot but then went on to 4 putt it so the less said about that the better.

Will 100% be back to play this course again. Guinness was tremendous in the clubhouse

Great round of golf for our first visit. Pretty much had the course to ourselves so got round in a good time. Only downside was it was winter greens but the majority of them were in good condition. Will 100% be back. Shagger Dan nearly got to the green on a par 4 off his drive. 4 putted it like but the less said about that the better. Guinness was tremendous in the club house

Poor

Got charged £25 per person and they’d not only hollow tinned the greens but had winter greens on selected holes which never got mentioned at the time of booking. For this time of year should be any more than £15.
To be honest there was a touch of morning frost on the surface but no need to have winter greens.
The practice area is as basic as it comes. One driving net and on small putting green that has no resemblance to the actual greens.
I did enjoy the course layout, a good challenge. It’ll help to have someone with you that has played before as there is a few deceiving holes.

Ace wee course

Excellent course, has some blind holes so useful to have a golf course mapping app at hand if you haven't played here before. A few hills to pull your trolley up but don't let these put you off. This is a great wee course with some tricky holes to test players. The course was a bit wet when i played which meant a few fairways were a bit too waterlogged to get any bounce but was still in good condition on the whole. Would definitely play here again.

Lovely course

This is one of my favourite courses in the NE of England. Interesting challenge with a good mix of holes set in a wonderful parkland setting close to Chopwell Woods. A number of fascinating holes and difficult to pick a favourite but the 13th stands out for me. Course is in lovely condition and the evening that this reviews pertains to there was not a breath of wind and the sun setting meant that the atmosphere around the course was very relaxing. Staff and members very welcoming.

Love this course

I’ve played here twice now and it’s a fantastic course. But as in my previous review the flies, I know this is nothing that the club can control but I almost considered walking off after six holes the flies are relentless, which I’d a huge shame as I say the course is great and for the price you can’t knock it

Great day spoiled by slow play

Lovely day out spoiled by slow play. It’s quite a short course and as a 2 ball I’d have expected 3.5 hours or so. However we were behind a seniors tournament of maybe 4 or so 4 balls and it was painful. All in all we were on the course just short of 5 hours.

Made worse by a Green keeper who insisted on preparing a Green on. A par 3 while we stood Green side waiting to play our second shots. This took him about 10 minutes.

It’s a shame because the course was lovely and the staff in the club house were first class.

Good course

Arrived at 7:30 tee off 8:10 no staff about club shop was closed so can’t really give review on that . Enjoyed the course . A bit hilly for me and greens weren’t very big like I’m used to at my local course and not as fast ,but really quite challenging without being too long . Love to play there again so I can play some holes a bit differently. Doesn’t require driver of every long hole but overall a pretty well kept course

Great course! Fantastic conditions

Great course, fantastic conditions, played 4 different courses in the same 10 days and this was by far in the best state. Considering it was only the 3rd dry day following terrible weather. 👌🏽

Garesfield to the rescue

Played here due to my own course being closed for recent rain.
Although a little squishy in places, overall the course was decent and at least fully open.
I enjoy playing here as it has some different and challenging holes and some fantastic scenery.

For the time of year and the the amount of rain we had in the past week the course has held you pretty well.
Enjoyable round even if the golf played was not great.
