Still 50/50 on renewing my membership but if I do renew I’m looking to move from Houghton to a new club.
Any suggestions of decent clubs within 10 miles (give or take) of Sunderland?
A very good friend of mine is a member at Whitburn and I’ve played there a few times with him. It’s a canny course, the last few holes over the road I find the best.South Shields and Whitburn are good if you want to play all year round.
I’m at Whitburn and there were only 3 temp greens on over winter (and this was due to them being dug up / new drainage channels put in).
Like another poster said it’s very rarely calm winds or warm but it’s not a bad track.
Shields is also a good track with some interesting holes as well.
Both are about the same price for membership.

2nd is a great hole. The index 1 is a good hole playing your second shot over the water, if you get a good drive away it’s not too bad, shite/average drive and it’s a bastardYes 14-18 are very picturesque.
Love the 17th , great 2nd shot into that green off at an angle.
I like the front 7 as well , it’s just the middle section that is too samey, plus that 9th (par 5 uphill should be a par 7 when the winds up !!)

I’ve birdied it a few times and dropped it in the drink on more than one occasion! The par 3 after it is a good hole, narrow green to hit.I always have to bale out left with my 2nd on 12.
Just cannot get enough on 2nd shot to get it over the pond !
Think it’s psychological

You might know the lad I play with there, initials LB, from South Shields.
I’ll probably join there if they put a decent deal on during the season.I only know about 20 - 30 of the members tbf.
If you’re up there any time let me know and you can give me some pointers for my 2nd shot at 12
