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.

Perfect stay. 5 mins from A1 so easy to reach, easy check in, spa, restaurant with really good food and environment. Only downside was the room was roasting with no way to cook it at all but other than that good stay

The hotel is ideally situated close to a number of major trunk roads, however it is nearby a quiet residential area and a very peaceful park land setting. The restaurant was excellent and the staff on point. Breakfast was fresh and again staff on point, well turned out and exceptionally polite

The room was dated. Holes in the bath and damaged shower head. No aircon and fan provided was useless. Its a shame as the rest of the weekend was superb.

Can’t comment on the greens as all were closed and on temporary greens which were of a very poor standard. Very frustrated as we only found out the course was on temporary greens when we turned for our tee time, no apology or explanation for the closure other than the course would be fully opened on Sunday.

Course was in fantastic condition and provides a good challenge for the average golfer. No issues with pace of play and the facilities for warming up were excellent with a good putting area and a toptracer driving range

A rally well presented course, easy to navigate and a lot of attention to detail around the greens and aprons. It’s well laid out with the back nine feeling ever so slightly shorter. I really enjoyed course and will most certainly be back in the future!
