Set in the beautiful and serene Tyne Valley, only seven miles outside the centre of Newcastle and nestled between the banks of the River Tyne, the 250-year-old Close House estate has been lovingly formed into two of the best courses in the country.

Situated near the ancient remains of Hadrian’s Wall, they present the only Lee Westwood golf courses in the UK – one being their stunning Colt Course.

The 18-hole Lee Westwood Filly course is situated in the grounds of the Close House Estate, providing stunning views of the River Tyne Valley in Northumberland.

Alongside the presentation of the Lee Westwood Colt course, the Parkland layout was re-designed and re-opened in 2013, providing a delightful alternative to the Championship layout of its sister course.

Their Filly Course now has 18 USGA specification greens, is 6,034yds 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 PGA professional events, including the previous European longest driver competition, the course has proved to be both enjoyable and challenging for golfers of all abilities.
