South Moor Golf Club

Wet, messy fairways after heavy overnight rain but greens commendably good. No pro shop and no catering.

Arrived and club shop closed no one about , ended up getting scorecards from the bar. With all the rain over the north east last few months it was inevitable to book a course that was in a poor condition, and it was just that. Lack of fairways on the front 9 and everywhere just felt like quicksand, ground moved underneath you so couldn't stand correctly. Greens were terrible , bumps all over them and extremely slow. No bounce anywhere on course just plugged tee shots on pretty much every hole I played. Positive was my mate got his first ever birdie on the longer par 3 👌🏻

Course was closed due to the weather etc. however I tried almost all Morning to get in touch with course to re arrange. Response was disgusting and am now £63 down. Not even having hit a ball.
Am seriously thinking about cancelling my golf now subscription if this is the service they provide

The course looked like it would be good in drier conditions,the reality is it should have been closed as most greens flooded and fairways were boggy.

Thankful for a round of golf in wet conditions, however the course should have been closed. The greens and fairways we’re lakes of accumulated rainfall. Every high shot was lost due to plugging.

I played this course at the weekend despite there being horrendous rain the course was open and in a pretty good state. Really enjoyed the layout and challenge of every hole, will definitely be heading back.

The course is nicely set on the moorland with very pretty views and nicely kept greens. Unfortunately, the course was pretty much waterlogged on nearly every fairway. In places it was like hitting off of rice pudding with grass on. There was some new drainage channels cut, but I doubt this is going to make as much of a difference as is needed for the course to be properly playable. Also, as is the case with so many courses, the pace of play was unacceptably slow.

Busy Saturday. Slow three ball group ahead. Even slower bar food service- over 45 minutes for a burger. That’s ridiculous.

First time playing here, the greens are in good condition
Not a great course, quite a steep course, weather was very hot there were no benches to have a rest only found one on the 13th but was knackered by then so packed in way to hot. Others might like it worth £15 PP but not for me.

Brilliant course - great greens, in really good condition and definitely a thinking course. No need to try hitting driver on every hole to score.

Sadly the course was extremely wet when we played. So it’s difficult to really give a decent review of this course. It’s a tough course physically so for those with any mobility or health issues, a buggy would be recommended. The holes are quite challenging and enjoyable to play. We played as a 2 ball and at a decent pace it still took us 4 hours to do 18 holes. I would play here again but it would need to be dry and I’d have a buggy next time. The club house was nice and the staff very friendly. I can’t comment on the food because the course was quite and they’d stopped serving food at 4, we didn’t finish until after that.

played this course several times, its well laid out and a challenge to play. Single player but was let through so around in about 2 hours.
Professional friendly and helpful.
Scampi and chips in the clubhouse afterwards was very good and the staff were very chatty and helpful.
all in all a great day and i will be back.

The course was wet and boggy in places especially the first 4 holes but i did enjoy the layout, the views, the challenges and its a cheap round to be fair. Will probably return next summer

Highly recommend this course, may consider joining next year. Great test of golf, long, short and tricky holes with a good physical workout. Definitely playing again.

Watch the YouTube video before playing, well worth it and helpful.
