Post lock down play

Of course the course isn't 100%, it's post lock down, but thanks for opening and hopefully over the coming weeks gets up to normal fairway and green condition. If possible taking the cuttings from the greens would make a big difference

Excellent course

Lovely course well laid out and a good challenge for all levels. Get your hiclibg boots on for a couple of holes. Fair few temporary greens understandable at the moment. But the normal greens we played were tricky but true
Will definitely be back

Just Wow!

what a little Gem of a course this is!

I played a round with a lovely little gentleman called John who is a member here. I wasn't having the best round until joined him on the 7th, things improved from then on. The fairways are excellent and the greens are immaculate. I will most definitely be paying another visit in the near future.

Lovely course, disappointing greens

Garesfield is a cracking course but unfortunately they have had problems with their greens and when we played they had been verti cut recently. The sand and mud left on greens was shocking. To compound the problem the grass has not been cut for some time and they were almost unplayable in the wet conditions we had. Annoyed there was no mention of situation on website. Wished we had played somewhere else tbh

Sanded Greens

Played garesfield today and normally really enjoy this course infact I used to be a member. I checked in then headed to the first all good until we reached the first green or should I say builders yard so heavily sanded the ball just would not roll . I realise maintenance is necessary but this was a joke , I really felt that I should’ve been informed of this before we headed out onto the course every green was the same . Once we finished I called back to the shop but nobody about to chat with

Bad time to play

Nice course usually. Bit hilly but that's par for the course if you pardon the pun but today the greens were atrocious. I paid £15 for a hot deal but if id paid a tenner more and saw those greens I wouldn't have been happy

lovely course

What a lovely course, every hole different, very hilly, get a buggy. quite a lot of blind shots. fairways could have done with a cut, however it was really wet in the week leading up to our visit so they probably couldnt get out to cut them.

Garesfield

Nice, friendly course with a very good lay out! It's an interesting course if you have never played it before, few blind shots and a lot of hills but what else can you expect in Gateshead. Pro shop not open on a Monday so might cause problems for people wanting to use it.
