Backworth Golf Club

The Hall, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, Northumberland, NE27 0AH

Backworth Golf Club is steeped in history dating back to the early 19th century where coal miners used to pay sixpence out of their wages to keep the course going. The splendid nine-hole course that people often play round twice at Backworth Golf Club is set upon some fine, gently undulating parkland that enhances the challenge of playing there considerably. It is an extremely well maintained course, diligently and meticulously tended to by its dedicated greenkeeping staff and features many challenging holes with natural hazards utilized to their full extent making a course to delight and excite every level of golfer. Although it is reasonably short, measuring only 5870 yards from the tee on the first hole to the pin on the eighteenth, the par of 71 is a good indication that it is not to be taken lightly. Those in search of a challenging, enjoyable round of golf will find much here to satisfy their wants without intimidating them. Backworth Golf Club has a fantastic array of holes ranging from small greens and tight entrances protected by bunkers to the most fabulous couple of shorter holes. Their signature hole is a 140 yard par 3 in amongst beautiful greenery and a small target protected by bunkers. The old Victorian clubhouse is a special place to sit and have a snack before or after your round.
