Close House Golf
Close House Golf Course was originally built as a nine hole course in 1964 by Newcastle University for the use of staff and students and was extended to 18 holes in the early eighties. The mansion house and golf course were bought from the university in 2004 by Graham Wylie, founder of Sage and TSG and has since seen substantial investment, to make Close House the premier location in the North East not only for golf but also for conferences, wedding ceremonies and fine dining.
The 18 hole golf course is situated in the grounds of the Close House Estate, providing stunning views of the River Tyne and surrounding Tyne Valley. The parkland layout was re-designed and re-opened in June 2007. It now has 18 USGA specification greens, is 6000 yards in length and a par 70 from the medal tees. The undulating greens provide a real test for your putting skills, but accuracy off the tee is paramount for good scoring, Having already held its first PGA Professional event in September 2007 the course has proved challenging to golfers of all abilities. The clubhouse provides light snacks, however, Close House is the perfect backdrop to sit and relax after a game of golf.
The facilities at Close House allow us to cater for both individuals and large corporate and society groups. A variety of packages are available along with an event management service to ensure your day is memorable for all the right reasons.
