Golf at Close House

Fine food, luxury accommodation, picturesque scenery and a very warm welcome will make your experience unforgettable.

The superb 18-hole golf course is situated in the grounds of the Close House Estate, and provides stunning views of the River Tyne and surrounding area. The original course dates back to 1964, but has recently undergone redevelopment with substantial investment to produce one of the finest courses in Northumberland. Having already held its first PGA Professional event in September 2007 the course has proved challenging to golfers of all abilities.

The undulating USGA specification greens are sure to provide a real test for your putting skills and now standing at just over 6000 yards off the tee accuracy is paramount for good scoring. Fine tune your skills before venturing out onto the course with our 350 yard driving range, dedicated short game area and putting greens or to improve your skills further why not book a golf lesson with our newly appointed PGA Professional Jonathan Lupton.

Here at Close House we welcome visitors and work hard to see that each of our corporate events are tailor made to meet our clients requirements and surpass expectations. Your personal events co-ordinator will ensure that your day runs just how you had imagined and without a hitch, so your can relax… and focus on the game in hand.
