North Northumberland Golf League, led by organiser John Smith, is based in Berwick-upon-Tweed, UK. Since its inception in 1949, the league has expanded to include teams from fourteen golf clubs, offering diverse coastal and inland courses. Covering Northumberland from Morpeth to Berwick-upon-Tweed, it's a key golfing hub in the region.
The Scratch League is a major draw, featuring 13 teams of elite golfers competing throughout the summer. Additionally, the Glendale Trophy adds a layer of team matchplay excitement.
A distinctive aspect of the league is the League Open Days, individual stableford competitions for male members with opportunities to win Net and Gross prizes, plus a team league that fosters camaraderie.
For senior members, the Jack Deeble Seniors League offers competitive interclub matches in a unique format, allowing seniors to shine.
In 2022, John Smith introduced the Members League, tailored for non-scratch golfers, featuring a team matchplay format and the W T Bathgate Trophy knockout competition.
Besides league competitions, the clubs welcome visitors year-round, providing quality golfing experiences for all skill levels. The North Northumberland Golf League, under John Smith's guidance, continues to be a vibrant platform for golfers to play, compete, and enjoy the game.
