Golf courses in County Durham

County Durham is bypassed by most golfers visiting northern England, which is a shame. The county has a handful of courses that hold up well in quality against the better-known Lancashire Golf Coast, with greenfees considerably lower than at the big names nearby. Leading Courses favourites include Seaton Carew Golf Club — one of the oldest links courses in England, at the mouth of the Tees. A course with real character and wind, exactly as links golf should be. Rockliffe Hall is the luxurious counterpart: a modern golf resort with a parkland course that is held in high regard by golfers across the region. Durham City is well worth a visit if you are in the area. Durham Cathedral and Castle together form a UNESCO World Heritage Site offering a city panorama with few equals in England. Newcastle upon Tyne is half an hour away and has an international airport with good connections. The climate is northern English and changeable, but the courses are playable year-round. A cold pint in a north-east pub rounds off every round in County Durham perfectly. Browse all County Durham golf courses on Leading Courses and plan your next golf trip.
