'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, Chief Executive of the R&A)

'A gem, well worth playing...' (an English international)

'..undoubtedly is the best inland course between Ganton and Scotland.' (Fine Golf)

Lady and Gentlemen Golfers are warmly welcomed throughout the year and are invited to take the opportunity to play one of the courses selected to be a Regional Qualifier for the Open Championship from 2013.  It comprises a 6,683 yard challenge 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.

The Northumberland Golf Club and the Gosforth Park Ladies' Golf Club are members' clubs 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.  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.
