About This Pub
You know, when you pop into Woodham Golf & Country Club, it's one of those places that really grows on you – the course is a proper gem, often hailed as one of the best in the North East, with its tricky layout designed by a legend in the game, keeping things challenging yet fair for everyone. Pair that with the bar and restaurant, where you'll find solid grub and a welcoming team who's always up for a chat, and you've got yourself a lovely spot to unwind after a game. It's spotlessly clean with great accessibility, which makes it ideal for a mixed group. On the downside, there have been a few grumbles about things like buggy arrangements throwing a spanner in the works or the place feeling a tad empty at times, which might not suit if you're craving a more energetic crowd. All in all, it's a solid choice for a relaxed outing, and I'd say it's worth a visit if you're in the area – just keep those little hitches in mind for a smoother experience.

Everything about this place is superb. The golf shop is modern and has some great products in, the clubhouse is elite and multipurpose and the course was exceptional. Course also wasn't crammed and the booking system means you can breathe while playing without being up someone's backside nor being pushed along by someone inpatient, will 100% be back.
What a fabulous course ! 👏
Great bar / restaurant accompanied with immaculate practice faculties. Proper golf shop also which all golf courses should have. Ernie served us who was great crack and really helpful when I enquired about getting a new grip for my putter.
Really enjoyed today and I will be coming back ! 🏌️♂️
This is a lovely place, we've hired it for party's and ate on many occasions. The service and staff were really friendly and helpful, especially the girl serving behind the bar. We were vertualy the only people in the plaza, which is a shame. Drinks were good and the food was okay, good size portions but nothing special. It's quiet when there's no golfers about.
Been there today got the homemade lasagne was absolutely lovely compliments goes to the new head chef paul and the place is so clean absolutely lovely decor and wheelchair friendly
This course gets 2 stars for having a great layout. Otherwise, it would be 1 went today as a group of 6 unfortunately 2 couldn't make it last minute we had ordered 4 buggies for the 2 original 4 balls but had to go out as 2 3 balls not sure why maybe to speed up play? Even though it was painfully slow anyway in front. After 3 of us teed off the guy from the pro shop walked out and asked if we could just wait and let this 2 ball nip out quickly why didn't they book an earlier tee time if they knew there was 4 balls going out? But the worst thing was the course and the price we were charged! I had played here years ago, and it hasn't gotten any better. Greens are still very slow compared to any other courses in the area and lots of damaged rough patches on some greens, there is terrible maintenance all over the course left over dead grass everywhere from the rough we had numerous balls lost just off the greens and fairways shocking and a lots of uneven poor tee boxes! We played a championship golf course 2 days ago for £24 through the golf now app which makes this look like a farmers field with flags on it and this cost us £45 each for golf and shared buggy so i presume £30-£35 for golf and rest for buggy ridiculous! It should be no more than £15 Won't be back much better value elsewhere!
