Why Gift Golf Lessons in Sunderland?
George Washington Golf Club is one of the most challenging courses in the North East of England. Measuring 6,625 yards from the championship tees with a par of 73, it provides a serious test of golf in a well-maintained parkland setting. The hotel and country club facilities make it a natural venue for experience days and golf breaks.
Wearside Golf Club, constructed in 1892, is one of the oldest and most historic courses in England. Sitting on the banks of the River Wear, it offers a clean, characterful layout measuring just under 5,500 metres that golfers of all skill levels can enjoy. Seaham Harbour Golf Club, created in 1911, has remained one of the most enjoyable courses in the region for over a century, its layout accompanied by breathtaking views of the North Sea throughout the round. The Durham Heritage Coast setting is genuinely special.
