ARE YOU NEW TO GOLF?

Whatever your age it is never too late to take it up. In the summer months we run ‘Get into Golf’ coaching courses designed to get you started. Please contact the clubhouse if you would like to put your name on a waiting list for the next course.

For more experienced golfers, we have friendly and inclusive Gents,, Ladies, and Seniors sections, all of which organise regular events, club competitions, friendly matches, and Northumberland League fixtures, so there are plenty of playing opportunities for you.

As a community club, we pride ourselves on supporting younger players and have both Junior sessions running weekly from April to September, where we use the Junior Golf Passport scheme and professional coaching to build their skills and confidence.

As a small members club we can assure you of a warm welcome and look forward to seeing you here soon.

Please note the COURSE and CLUBHOUSE are currently CLOSED to all Members and Visitors
