Often the history of Northumberland is the main attraction, with castles, monuments and sites detailing the bygone battles between Scotland and England. The country sports such as shooting, fishing & hunting are also a draw as are the quaint market towns dotted throughout the dramatic landscape. For lovers of golf however, there is only one game in town.
Northumberland can boast some of the best golf in the country with courses to challenge the professional or encourage the beginner. Wooded parkland, sweeping headland, and some excellent links course combine to provide a golfing experience second to none.
Some of the best courses in Northumberland are easily reached from the hotel including the championship course at Goswick, the James Braid designed links course at Berwick-upon-Tweed, and the new course at Burgham Park, designed by Mark James. Belford has its own course which comprises a 10 bay covered driving range and practice area so there really is no excuse for not brushing up on your stroke and heading for golfing greatness.
Regardless of your handicap you will find some golf that inspires you and improves your game in Northumberland. The beauty of the place is that even for golf widows there is plenty to do and with so many attractions and activities you may even want to join them. Sometimes Northumberland is so breathtaking even golf takes a back seat.
