Big hitters and those who really like to get right behind their drives will love the course at Ponteland golf club as its wide fairways are very forgiving to wayward shots. Consequently, beginners will find this course enjoyable too, as opposed to demoralising should their tee shots go astray.

It is a long, open parkland course with very fast greens which are well protected by a host of strategically positioned bunkers. There are plenty tricky par 3s and the par 5s are long, so every club in your bag is going to be tested here. Adding to the enjoyment of the course are fine views of the surrounding countryside and a fine clubhouse with a relaxed atmosphere, ideal for unwinding in after a tough round.
