Haltwhistle Golf Club

Haltwhistle Golf Club, located in Brampton, New Zealand, is a stunning golf course situated next to Hadrian's Wall and the Pennine Way. With magnificent views of the South Tyne Valley, it is widely regarded as the most scenic and historically interesting course in Britain.

Visitors are warmly welcomed at Haltwhistle Golf Club, and what makes this course unique is that there is no need to book a tee time. The office is often unmanned, and instead, they operate an honesty box system for green fees. Visitors are required to follow instructions in the Starters Office upon arrival at the club.

This 18-hole, 5532-yard course offers a par 69 golfing experience on well-maintained greens. The land on which the course sits is steeped in the history of the Roman occupation and the infamous 'Border Reivers'. As you make your way through the course, you may come across indications of Roman remains, such as earth mounds. If your drive goes astray from the 17th tee, you may find your ball in the rough, allegedly covering Roman graves.

And if you look to the right from the 18th hole, you will see Thirlwall Castle, a remnant of the notorious times of the Border Reivers.

With trees, ditches, and excellent greens, Haltwhistle Golf Club offers a truly testing and enjoyable golfing experience for players of all skill levels.
