Hello sports community!
Chris, the organiser, here to share some exciting news about Whickham Golf Club. Nestled in Newcastle upon Tyne, Whickham Golf Club has been a spot for golf lovers since 1911, moving to its current home at Hollinside Park in 1938.
They’ve recently put a fresh spin on the Crombie Course, and it’s reopened since June 2016. The Hollinside Park Course now offers a proper challenge with its par 71 layout for men and par 74 for ladies. Trust us, winding through the tree-lined fairways and coping with those small, tricky greens, you'll be putting your accuracy to the test!
The views along the Derwent Valley? Simply stunning.
