Close House Golf Club - Newcastle upon Tyne

Dave H

Our first visit and I expect not the last. We were allocated an upper room in the courtyard area accessed via a secure key card entrance and the same card for the room. The rooms are in little groups with a shared passage. Our room was very spacious with a large sofa, chairs and a coffee table also multiple side tables and 7 table lamps. There was an elaborate lighting system and 3 wall mounted control panels for the up lighting, down lighting and table lamps to create different moods.|Premium fittings and bedding and a huge ensuite with a free standing bath and walk-in shower. So we had a good nights sleep and it was very quiet so we couldn't fault anything and were very pleased with the accommodation. The reception and restaurant is a few hundred yards away situated down a hill next to a lake. Not an issue in calm dry weather, but in the wind, rain or frost and the dark of winters evening a little more problematic especially since there isn't a dedicated footpath for guests and you end up on the road. The food and service were all good with a choice from 3 different menu's in the evening since the festive season had started. This much better than your typical Golf club house. Breakfast was limited to a single cooked item so fruit juice, yoghurts etc were all optional extras (not seen this one before). What they cooked was very good however. Overall I don't think you will find anything much better in Newcastle.

Stayed on the 27th and 28th of December for 2 nights costing nearly £1000. The course and the Irish lad in the pro shop were exceptional. Breakfasts were great. The accommodation however less so. We stayed in the lodge,carpets stained,skirt-inboards and window ledges marked,no WiFi a light in the bathroom stayed on all weekend. I raised my concerns with the reception staff who informed me the lodge gets a full deep clean in January,handy for people who are staying after that,not so handy for us. Infected the pictures on the website do not even look like the same living room. I’ve emailed all my observations to Close House since and they’ve not even had the decency to reply. Think Mr Whiley needs to look at his customer services staff. Very disappointing

The location was tremendous. The lodge was better than I anticipated. The service by the staff was excellent and that little added touch of being picked up at the lodge and taken No 19 restaurant and then taken back afterwards.

For a weekend away you couldn’t pick a better spot and if you are into your Golf I can’t think of a better combination….
The choice and quality of food was excellent and certainly value for money
We will be back.

The hotel is set in the beautiful golf course. The room was amazing and very large. The rooms are off set in their own courtyard with a small outside walk to the restaurant No 19. You can also walk the golf course. They will provide you with a map at the hotel reception. Will definitely be back!

The Colt course blew me away, wasn't expecting it to be THAT good! Fantastic venue, great value and friendly staff/atmosphere. The food and drinks are reasonably priced and the dining in the evening is exceptional quality. Rooms are amazing as well. Can't recommend this place highly enough.

Absolutely beautiful hotel. Huge rooms but very warm and cosy. Superb bathroom with gorgeous roll top bath & walk in rain forest shower,. Fantastic lighting throughout. Great walks around the golf course and fantastic food in Restaurant 19
We will be back again very soon. Loved it.

Played both courses and stayed overnight.
Lovely room, good food, good practice facilities.
The Colt is the better course but it’s very hilly, the Filly course is a good second course.
Both have tricky greens.
The price of drinks is ridiculous and that’s my main reason for a 4 star review.
£52 for a bottle of red wine !!
That spoilt the stay for myself and those that travelled with me.

Second time in a month stayed and played at close house. Both golf courses in great condition and all staff are most helpful in everything they do. Keep up the high standards.
