THE COURSE
Golfers visiting Northumberland and the Tyne & Wear need look no further than 15 minutes from Newcastle City Centre and the Airport, where they will find Northumberland Golf Club very conveniently situated. Nearby accommodation is plentiful. See our Location Page.
The Northumberland Golf Club is a members' club situated in the pleasant surroundings of Gosforth Park, Newcastle upon Tyne close to the A1. It has a much deserved reputation as a course of exceptional quality and is regarded as one of the finest in the North of England. It comprises a 6,683yard challange designed by Harry Colt and James Braid. All 18 holes are of a level, heathland nature with the firm, fast greens a particular feature, all strategically protected by bunkers. Gosforth Park and its Nature Reserve surround the course. Deer are spotted regularly and other wildlife adds to its attraction.
The Northumberland Golf Club is proud to have hosted many major events, both professional and amateur. These include the Dunlop Masters, the English Amateur championship, the British Youths Championship, The Commonwealth Ladies Tournament and most recently (in 2004) the English Boys Open Strokeplay Championship.
'The delightful Northumberland Golf Club...' (English Golf Union Magazine), 'I am proud to have the fine Northumberland Golf Club as my home club' (Peter Dawson, Secretary of the R&A), 'A gem, well worth playing...' (an English international).
Visiting golfers are warmly welcomed here throughout the year.
