The variety of tees on offer makes the par-73 track playable for visiting golfers of all abilities. The inventive design has made full use of the natural hazards presented by the existing land, providing numerous obstacles for players to negotiate. A previous host venue to the Sunderland Masters, is a testament to the courses quality.
Course management is the key around George Washington, where it is essential to position both tee and approach shots correctly to score well. Away from the fairways, there is a useful practice centre which includes putting and chipping greens, a driving range and a 9-hole par-3 course, ideal for honing the swing and sharpening the short game.

Clean comfortable hotel. Tho expensive to drink in. Even the staff were recommending that we drink at pub 10 min walk away rather than pay hotel prices.

I would score it less if I could. Buffet meal next to the pro shop Golfers not allowed to drink in the main bar (was asked to take our drinks to the reception) No food in the halfway house or milk for hot drinks (Only 3 chocolate bars) Facilities are poor venue run by teenagers who don't give a hoot Worst place I have been too shocking

The hotel experience couldn't have gone worse. Firstly, the check in lady said our food reservation was for 7.30 at the carter and fitch restaurant, we had this confirmed 2 more times by her. We went for food at 7.30, the waiter sat us down and then said "you shouldn't be here, you are in the other restaurant" then moved to the Orangeary restaurant. We were told "you have missed the starters" and the main meal options was like a buffet style, but the food had been sat there ages, it was dry and disgusting. We ate some of the food but decided we would go back to carter and fitch and have a couple of drinks there, plus buy some food. The same waiter was there and said "you have to go to the other restaurant" we asked "but could we stay in here and buy drinks here and food? You have a TV too" he replied "there is a TV there too" I asked "is there an issue? Why aren't we welcome to come here?" His reply "well whilst its quiet you can stay in here until it gets busy"...absolutely disgusting. The hotel service was absolutely shocking. Avoid this place. I would score it 0 stars if possible for staff/hotel.

Staff in the pro shop fantastic..! Dissapionting day two was on temps due to green works, felt this could have been avioded given only one green was seen being worked on through the round, a real shame as the group enjoyed day 1, temp greens off forward tees ment the round was pretty pointless so came off after 9.... A shame though because the first day was great,

Our group thought the course was in good condition especially after the rain that had falling unfortunately our time was ruined by the fact buggies were not allowed on the course 3 of our group could not play but the guys who did thought they the buggies could have been on even guy in the professional shop thought they should so that was disappointing

Anything more than that is reflective of the golf as the guys in the golf club were polite, the course was play, not very challenging and hardly any hazards to test you. Do not book here and book somewhere else.

Our group of four had a mixture of abilities from single handicap, higher handicap and one player who only plays a few times a year. The course provides a challenge that can be enjoyed by all standards so excellent for a golf break
