Best winter courses in the North East

[Chaddy]

Autumn is on us and my home course has returned to swamp like conditions. Any of you golfers from the NE have any recommendations for best (and dry!) courses to play in the winter? Had a quick round at Warkworth yesterday which was in great nick and dry as anything. Have thought of the usual suspects such as Goswick and Sharpley too but was wondering if there are any others I should be considering for our next trip?

Cheers

Ho about these?

Royal Aberdeen, Murcar, Cruden Bay, Fraserburgh. All good links course and prob still in great nic over winter.

Sorry Patrick I should have actually said NE England

Seaton Carew definitely, and Hartlepool GC is not too bad, Redcar (Cleveland GC) claims to have the best greens in the winter and rarely closes.

Longhirst changed the two courses into one and plays normal greens and tee boxes most of the winter depending on how bad the weather is! Played all last winter and only one or two tee boxes were changed to temps but all normal greens were on

Newbiggin. Longhirst is also a good shout if you don't want to play links and is always well manicured.

Goswick is in really good nic...well worth a visit at the moment.

New head green keeper this season and he has done the members proud.

Not far over the border is Eyemouth GC. A really interesting and good value course.

I hear the food is excellent again as the original chef is back.
