A fabulous new Club House has been added to the course in 2004, and the views out over the team valley are outstanding. to be so close to Gateshead and Newcastle and enjoy the views is amazing playing along side the Angel of the North and to the 4th Island Hole over a valley to a green surrounded by bunkers leaves no room for error. A great course for the strong at heart.

re your review june 1 2000 - yes the course is alongside a council estate but this has change since 2000. there is a new club house at th opposite end of the original course and the course holes have changed slightly since then. there has been no real vandalism for many years and you make the course sound terrible. may I suggest you either re-visit and asses this course and it facilities or at least change your damming and hostile appraisal of Ravensworth

This course is situated alongside a Council Housing Estate and to combat the problems of greens been dug up, golf balls stolen, trees uprooted + stolen cars being burnt out on the course, the committee decided to fit lockable gates to the 3 fields, to which the hooligans now super-glue the locks, so the members can not have access to their course, together with the introduction of Razor Wire along the perimeter of a very narrow course does not look pleasing to the eye.

An enjoyable layout featuring some good short par four holes and a spectacular par three thirteenth hole played from an elevated tee to a green surrounded by deep bunkers. Most of the par three holes are quite long, with the eighth being a monster of 240 yds sharply uphill! Many of the greens have severe contours making putting tricky. If your golf game is off, you can at least enjoy some of the superb views of Tyneside particularly from the 12th green which is at the highest point on the course.
