This is an advertisement feature in association with Maften Hall.

We’ve always been huge fans of Maften Hall’s championship golf course. Set in over 300 acres of mature parkland with established burns and woodland, the 27-hole offering is rated as one of the finest golf courses in the North East of England.

And now, after extensive renovation and improvements during the last four years, the hotel provides a 5-star offering to match the quality of the course, while a brand new clubhouse is the perfect place to grab a drink after your round.

Maften Hall: Golf

An enjoyable test for players of all abilities, Maften Hall’s championship golf course comprises three nine-hole loops: ‘Douglas’, ‘Standing Stone’, and ‘Dewlaw’.

Throughout the 27 holes you will encounter a mix of challenging features from the dry stone ‘Ha-Ha’ to picturesque water obstacles, all situated in an idyllic spot within the beautiful Northumberland countryside.

Maften Hall has 27 fantasic holes

The quality of the course has seen Maften Hall host many professional and county amateur events, including the PGA Super60s last year.

There’s also a nine-hole par 3 course maintained to the same excellent standards as the main course. It’s a challenging test to keep accomplished players interested but also ideal for beginners looking for a relaxed and informal place to hone their skills.

If you’re looking to organise a multi-course golf break, Maften Hall is conveniently located less than a 10-mile drive from the fantastic Close House and less than 90 miles along the coast from the beautiful Goswick Golf Links.
