The stunning Maften Hall in Northumberland

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.

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.

Maften Hall: Stay

A place to rest, unwind, dine, and explore, a stay at the Matfen Hall estate isn’t just another event in your calendar; it’s an experience you’ll cherish and speak of long after you leave.

Each of the 63 rooms provides an up-to-date take on traditional elegance and refinement. From grand furniture to exceptional decor, realise the true meaning of escapism as you overlook the sweeping views of idylic Northumberland waiting beyond the window.

Elegant finishing touches include a personal concierge service and private chauffeur transportation.
