Hexham Golf Club
Designed by Open champion Harry Vardon, the classic English parkland layout of Hexham Golf Club remains one of Northumberland’s finest golfing challenges. The course, laid out in 1907-8, has stood the test of time, with a reputation for producing elite amateur and professional golfers and hosting many successful county and national events. It’s no surprise Hexham has produced so many good players, it’s tall trees requiring straight tee shots while tough bunkering and large, undulating greens place emphasis on accuracy and good putting. www.hexhamgolf.co.uk
