'THE' place to better your game
Longhirst Golf Club, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Northumberland, offers a unique and unforgettable golfing experience. Set in over 500 acres of stunning countryside, our resort boasts two championship courses, The Dawson and The Lakes, each offering its own unique challenge and breathtaking views. Our courses have hosted the PGA Europro tour for nine years, making us a premier destination for golf enthusiasts of all levels.
The Dawson Course
A more relaxing round of golf that can still give you a bite if you're not on your game! Wider fairways and large greens are more forgiving but can make for the 3 putt! Lakes and water features in abundance again.
The Lakes Course
The Lakes Course is a true test of golf, requiring accuracy and strategy. This course boasts 40 lakes and ponds that come into play on 12 of the 18 holes, providing a unique and challenging experience for even the most seasoned golfer.
Facilities
Our facilities include a 14-bay driving range, teaching studio, 2 putting greens, and a chipping area with bunkers. Our state-of-the-art swing analysis studio is also available for those looking to perfect their swing. Our resident PGA professional, Paul Fiddes, offers expert tuition for individuals and groups.
The Clubhouse is the hub of Longhirst Golf Club. Our menu always evolves, offering succulent Sunday roasts, and our staff are always on hand to welcome you. We cater for groups of over 100 for private events and business meetings. Our facilities will soon be upgraded, so watch this space!
