About The Northumberland

  

The course opened on the 4th June 1898 with JS Caird the professional at the Town Moor providing the initial design input.

Various design changes took place depending on the position of the Clubhouse and then in 1913 after the Clubhouse moved to the west end of the Park, HS Colt was called in to redesign the course layout and much of his work was in progress when the 1914-18 War broke out.

The course regularly hosts national and regional championships and qualifiers, including The Open Championship Qualifying Series. Designed by world-renowned golf course architects Harry Shapland Colt and James Braid it offers the very best in British heritage course design.

 

Rules and Information

 

Golf Format:

The event is played as a four-ball better ball format off 85% of your official handicap using stableford scoring under the rules of golf, and following WHS guidance.

As in any stroke play competition scoring putts must be holed, there is no such thing as a gimme in stroke play competition where you are playing against a field.

Handicap Certificates:

All handicaps will be checked online. Please have a certificate or Golf App available on your phone to show the team.  You may wish to have a certificate on your phone available in case of issues as WHS is not always perfect.

Prizes will be sent out after the event either by email for vouchers or by post.  There will be no prizes handed out on the day or any prize giving.

Golf Carts:

We permit the use of golf carts for medical reasons only.  We accept self certification.  Please arrange directly with the club.
