I'm not a golf player at all but I've often driven up the A174 Sandsend Road (which passes right…read morethrough this course) and admired it. On a warm summer's day I can imagine a round of golf there would be very pleasant -- but by the same token it must be pretty parky at times in winter, with the wind blowing straight off the cold North Sea We had a Sunday lunch at the club house there once a few years ago, and enjoyed the meal very much. The food was good and the views across the golf course and out to sea were fantastic. If they still have a restaurant that's open to the public we could certainly recommend it based on our experience.

Never been to leisure complex before: got invited to play bowls indoor. I was quietly surprised by…read morewhat was on offer sport wise and at a reasonable price. My grip would be the membership fee, that doesn't reduce over the year, although to start with it's not that expensive either. There is a nice cafe, didn't try any food but had a soft drink at the well stocked bar. I haven't had a chance to explore the whole facility but I'm sure it will come up to scratch as from what I did see was clean and in good repair. I shall be returning to have another game of indoor bowls, maybe something a little more energetic like pool/snooker, start slowly they say! The concession is for over 60, reasonable size car park, right next to station from bishop Auckland and Darlington

Dire! Cheap yes but don't expect the food all to arrive at the same time, don't expect the actual…read morefood you ordered to arrive, don't expect all of your hot food to have been heated up!!!!! Rice straight from the fridge lovely, not! Expect to wait a long long time and if there are half a dozen of you, expect the first person to be finished before the last person gets theirs and don't wait for other peoples food to arrive because yours will only get cold.

On Monday 3rd September I visited the driving range with my two daughters.We decided to pop into…read moreAmerican Golf before going onto the range. My 8 year old daughter asked to use the toilet and went to the toilet on the range. She was told by an employee called Harry that she was not allowed to use the toilet unless she was using the range!! She came back and told me what had happened. I then went around and confronted Harry as to why he wouldn't let my 8 year old daughter use the toilet. I was told it's only for people using the range. I then proceeded to tell Harry that we were all going to the range after we'd been into American Golf to which he replied "well where's your golf club's?" Questioning my integrity is not something I appreciate from a customer facing employee. I would suggest if Harry the jobsworth has lost the will to be civil whilst dealing with customers he should be replaced with someone who actually wants to be there and someone with customer service skills. Harry simply doesn't possess any.

Very good golf range. Prices are reasonable, and they do…read moredeals on certain times of the day. In summer they do a twilight session in the late afternoon/evenings where it is cheaper. Nice on summer evenings if the weather is nice. The greens are kept nice, and the whole place is just good to visit. My favourite gold course/driving range.
