Frequently Asked Questions
Can I find championship golf courses in Tyne and Wear?
You won't find any championship golf courses, or indeed any golf courses at all, directly within Tyne and Wear. We've explored every corner, and it's simply not a region for hitting the links. If your heart is set on a round, you'll need to venture just outside its borders.
If I'm visiting Newcastle, where's the closest golf?
While Newcastle itself is fantastic, you'll need to head a short drive out of Tyne and Wear for your golf fix. We recommend looking north into Northumberland or south into County Durham; both offer excellent courses within a 30-45 minute drive. You'll find a great selection there, from coastal links to parkland tracks.
What's the best time of year to plan a golf trip to Tyne and Wear?
Honestly, if golf is your primary goal, any time of year in Tyne and Wear will leave you wanting. Since there are no courses here, your best bet is to plan your visit for when the weather is pleasant for exploring the region's other attractions, like Hadrian's Wall or the vibrant city life of Newcastle. May to September offers the best conditions for general sightseeing.
Are there any plans for new golf course developments in Tyne and Wear?
We haven't seen any concrete plans or proposals for new golf course developments within Tyne and Wear. The region's focus seems to be on its urban regeneration and rich historical sites, rather than expanding its golf offerings. Don't hold your breath for a new course popping up here anytime soon.
What should a golfer do in Tyne and Wear if they can't play golf?
Even without golf, Tyne and Wear offers plenty to keep a discerning traveler busy. We highly recommend exploring the historic sites like Hadrian's Wall, immersing yourself in Newcastle's vibrant culture and food scene, or enjoying the beautiful coastline. It's a fantastic region for history buffs and urban explorers, just not for your clubs.
