Ravensworth Golf Club

Played with a friend yesterday at Ravensworth. The course was in godd condition although the greens had been recently tuned and sanded they were still quick and will only get quicker approaching the summer. This course was excellent value for the money and we will certainly return in the future.

The course and facilities are good with the North end of the course being especially unique and interesting. However, our visit was frustrated by greens which looked good from a distance but were oddly spongy, uneven and very inconsistent to play on possibly to the extend that they need hollow tining, sanding & rolling again which isn't ideal at this time of year. Also whilst the initial pace of play was good we caught up with a four ball that had teed off a full half hour before us by the time we reached the 5th hole - our group and two groups behind us had to pace ourselves for the remainder of the game and were stood waiting for quite a considerable duration on the back nine. Perhaps the club can look at providing some form of incentive for very slow groups to pick later p.m. tee times when the course is a bit quieter?

1st time playing and extremely happy i did,played as a solo but joined up with an older gentleman after catching up slower players,by the 4th he had to leave after 9 holes so cracked on by myself and caught a 4 ball up on the 10th,they let me through which was great,overall a fine day weather wise,great new course to play and cant fault the clubhouse with a great suntrap balcony overlooking the 18th

Despite the chill of winter, the course at Ravensworth Golf Club was in exceptional condition and far exceeded my expectations. The staff were extremely welcoming, which made for a great experience from the start.

The course itself boasts some fantastic holes, featuring very tight fairways and plenty of elevation changes that provide a challenging yet enjoyable round. It’s also very well priced, and I’d definitely return.

My only slight negative observation was regarding the pace of play later in the morning. I was fortunate to have one of the first tee times of the day, but by around 8–9 o’clock, it appeared quite backed up—a situation that might be frustrating for later tee times.

Overall, a great course and well worth a visit!

Greeted with a friendly welcome . Explained the course layout and facilities. Quiet at the time, the morning rush over. We had a great day out with many long fairways &.a mix as expected . The course was good for the time of year. especially after frost and rain.
Will definitely go back.
Nice club house having an open mic night fot the first time in a week's time
I shall.be attending the event as a performer

This course is a really good course for a day out and good exercise with some of the hills the staff are very friendly. The only issue is the layout with going through gates where we got lost a couple times trying to find which hole we were going to but overall a very nice recommend it to others

Very friendly pro , bar staff and members. Frozen course as was everywhere yesterday but totally playable. Enjoyable despite weather. Very warm welcome. Recommend

Very heavy overnight frost but playable. Our decision. Everyone at the club from pro shop-bar staff very friendly and helpful and also friendly members. Course was frozen as was everywhere this weekend so no complaints. Still enjoyable.

great course...greens were excellent and every hole is different which makes it a good challenge.

pace of play was really bad but apart from that I ll be back.

Overall happy, great value at £12.99. Course condition pretty decent considering the time of year. No temp greens though all 18 holes were temp tees, this made the course play a lot shorter. The greens were very very weird, they looked decent, stopped well and the ball rolled well but the weird thing was how they felt under foot. It was like walking on a water bed or a giant blister.

I'm putting it down to average drainage and the time of year. Don't let these negative points stop you playing, it's a good overall course now and as it dries out will get much better and at £12.99 value is off the chart. Only other niggle was hole info and lack of good directions to many of the holes. A little guesswork was often required. Still a def recommend.

Played here on Friday 13th December,for this time of year the course is in excellent condition.Winter tees which are a mixture of mats and grass,all greens open although soft very good.Friendly welcome at the club shop telling you what’s in play and what’s not.Highly recommend booking through Golf now 18 holes for £11:99 walked away feeling a bit guilty excellent value.

Round couldn't have started better than simply checking in and being met with the friendliest staff member who showed us the layout of the course with some recommendations. First time playing the course and he put us at ease even before teeing off.

Course conditions were okay. Had a bit of rain recently, so it was a bit muddy in places, but the greens were in excellent condition, as were the tee boxes. Fairway grass length was perhaps a touch long, but due to the recent rain, it was expected.

I personally shot a personal best of 84, but my playing partner's didn't fair as good, losing a few balls along the way. All being said, I'd definitely play here again.

We were looking forward to playing Ravensworth and the experience should have been good as the course is currently in good condition and the club house / general facilities are very good. However, the visit was spoiled for us and quite a few others by an unfathomable decision by the club to allow two members four ball parties to tee off very late which resulted in booked parties tee times being severely delayed on the first. Our party and two other parties were stood waiting on almost every hole - to say that frustration was starting to creep in is an understatement! Some players had to walk off at the half way mark due to commitments outside of the world of golf - those of us that soldiered on and completed got finished circa 1.5 hours late. Sadly due to the negative experience we wont be booking Ravensworth again any time soon which is a shame.
