The Hunting Course
The 7000 yard, par 72 "Hunting" is a treasure of a golf course, magnificently maintained and hosts several flagship events
A Dave Thomas designed par 72 course with lush sweeping fairways, the Hunting is hosting the PGA Seniors Championship from 25-28 June 2009. The 7000 yard, par 72 "Hunting" is a treasure of a golf course, magnificently maintained and hosts several flagship events.
Don't be lulled by the rolling moorland, streams and lakes, towering trees and banks of rhododendrons - this course will catch out the unwary. Well placed bunkers and tricky greens make this USGA standard course a real challenge.
The Priestman Course
The Priestman was designed by Neil Coles, chairman of the PGA, and it opened in 1999. Beautifully maintained the course has matured magnificently and it already hosts European Tour events.
On the west side of the estate, with panoramic views of the Tyne Valley, this Neil Coles designed course regularly hosts major Seniors events.
Wind can be a factor on this 7000 yard undulating course, criss crossed by streams. But don't be put off, this is a classic course and suitable for all levels of golfer. Pars are well earned here and worth toasting in the Claret Jug after your round.
