Played 3 times and it gets better every time , lovely springy turf and no bunkers , stunning views but pray for a calm day

I've entered. £30 for 36 holes, what's the worst that can happen ?

You miss every green....

Or worse still, hit every green and 3 putt them all ?

Anyone played Kington? Looks interesting and could be a lot of fun

We played there in a strong wind just before this current lockdow. It’s a fun course with stunning views.
Some really good holes but some nothing holes too. Well worth the one visit ?
Make sure your clutch is in good condition before driving up the entrance road ?

Yes, I believe you need to drive across a valley a few times (valley is too dramatic but i can't think of the right description). Definitely one where your tee shots need to be on the ball.

Played it a few times... nice day out. Lovely variation of par 3s which will make or break your score. The ravine is in play a couple of times, but doesn't really cause any difficulties. The par 3s however, particularly the two round the turn are a different matter! I walked off one with a 5 in a pairs comp, after being 8 foot above the hole after my tee shot!

Email today saying March Open at Eyemouth is cancelled. No surprise but a shame for the club.

Just booked for my dad and me to play an open at Brancepeth Castle on 30th May. Never played there before but have heard decent things about it.

Looks to have some challenging par 3's.

Yes. you'll enjoy it I'm sure, as it's arguably the best parkland 'Club' course in the County. I've played there a number of times & in 2015 was where on the 15th, I got my one & only Hole-in-one when playing for Seaton in their annual Home & Away fixture.
I'm playing it in Aug as at £18 a man it's NE prices & excellent value. They're also making an attempt to dissuade the bandits by having an 18 HI limit which is the lowest I've seen for Opens. It doesn't mean it's bandit proof but they're making an effort. I've seen many Opens where they've still got the 28 max they'd used before WHS, which will mean in many cases that someone could be getting 31 shots in a B/B. I'm sure it's not what they are meaning to do just not a lot of thought gone into it.
