Slaley Hall Golf

The courses and their character

There are two 18-hole, par-72 courses. The Hunting Course, designed by Dave Thomas, measures 7,069 yards and runs through woodland with undulating fairways, streams, lakes, tall trees and banks of rhododendron, with tricky greens and strategic bunkering. It has hosted more than 20 European Tour, European Seniors Tour, PGA Cup and Asian Tour events. The Priestman Course, designed by Neil Coles, is 6,901 yards on higher ground, with undulating fairways crossed by streams, wind as a factor and panoramic views of the Tyne Valley.

Booking and visitor practicalities

Golf is open to non-residents. Book online through the hotel's golf booking page or call the pro shop; groups of 12 or more have a separate booking line. Golf breaks combining a stay with one or more rounds are also offered. Every player must bring their own clubs, and full golf attire is required. Buggies can be hired, subject to weather, by drivers aged 18 or over with a valid driving licence. Facilities include a TrackMan driving range, a putting green, a pro shop with PGA professionals and the Claret Jug clubhouse bar and restaurant.
