Prudhoe Golf is one of the best inland facilities in the region and we welcome everyone to be part of our great golfing experience.
From the fantastic 18 hole course, 6 hole par 3, junior coaching academy and a warm welcome in the clubhouse.
We were founded in 1930 and offer you a golfing experience that you will find hard to beat. Our 18 hole picturesque parkland course is set in undulating Northumberland countryside and offers a challenge to members, visitors and groups at whatever level you play. The 6 hole par 3 will allow to warm up before the bigger challenge or let you try out the wonderful game – you can play the 6 holes in less than an hour.
During the summer we stage junior golfing sessions that provide youngsters the opportunity to try out the game whilst receiving coaching from the club professional.
After your game enjoy some home cooked food and drink in the clubhouse. If you need to stock up on golf balls, tees, clothing etc. visit our pro shop.
Situated just 10 miles west of Newcastle, our course is one of the best in the region, a little gem! If you haven’t played at Prudhoe before you are in for a golfing treat

Conclusion of Tree Management Programme
Over the previous few winter seasons the greens team have been working hard on improving all aspects of tree care on the golf course and surrounding areas. Over the next two year period and predominantly in the non playing season we hope to complete the programme, inclusive of not only tree removal, but re planting, pruning, moving and adding or removing tree care products such as stakes, ties and guards.
Some trees have already been marked up and are due to be removed, although this will not necessarily happen immediately as there is still a lot of work to get through. On starting the tree work this autumn/winter we will be trying to work in areas of the golf course, rather than doing specific trees, to minimise disruption and to carry out works efficiently.
As already mentioned there is more than just tree removal to the programme and tree health is extremely important, as is having the right tree in the right location. Therefore a large portion of the works will include planting, pruning and general health of trees. Going forward we will also be looking at reducing the amount of bare soil around the base of trees, where possible.
When selecting trees for removal the greens committee have devised a legend to adhere to, therefore avoiding any personal agendas and maintaining a common goal of improving the condition of the golf course within a sustainable manor.
The legend is as follows:
- Dead, diseased and damaged limbs or trees removed
- Limbs below 8ft removed (for ease of mowing)
- Out of place, overcrowded and non deciduous trees removed within reason
- Poplar trees to be removed near to and affecting the performance of any fine turf
- Trees affecting line of play
- Trees affecting greens health
