Garesfield Golf Club

Your essential guide to Garesfield Golf Club, Northumberland

Welcome to the Garesfield Golf Club - App.

West of Gateshead and located close to the borders with Durham and Northumberland, Garesfield Golf Course has to rank as one of the most picturesque courses in the North East.

Designed by Harry Fernie in 1922, this lovely parkland course has matured into something very special and offers players of all abilities an experience to be savoured. The flora and fauna are everywhere and at certain times of the year, the course is awash with colour – Garesfield is a photographer’s dream, so don’t forget to take a camera with you.

But don’t let the views detract you from the job in hand; the course is one of the better tests of golf in the region. Fernie certainly did his homework and has produced a lay-out which is fair if you play the course sensibly and punishing should you have an off day from the tees. Yes, there are a number of very strong par 4’s where some golfers will struggle to get home in two but these are balanced out with shortish par 5’s and a few short but tricky four-shotters, all good birdie chances.

Measuring nearly 6500 yards and a par 72 from the medal tees, you have to make the most of the first five holes at Garesfield before the course begins to ask questions – it might pay to warm up properly and hopefully, by the time you reach the sixth tee a good score is already on the card.

The app features the Whole in One Golf GPS Range Finder and Digital Guide to playing the clubs 18 hole golf courses. The App works as an virtual aid, giving you a 3D Flyover of each hole, a pin positioning system. The scorecard tool allows you to complete a round with up to 4 players and submit to the club.
