Chester-le-Street Golf Club — Restaurant in Great Britain

Our visiting party started the day with a warm welcome from the Club Captain - other clubs please note - and a generously sized bacon buttie! Then it was out on the course. And what a course! Extremely attractive views as we circled the impressive & ancient Lumley Castle. The views were eclipsed by the fabulously maintained course layout. Plenty of challenges for players of all levels, assisted by recent tree thinning & thoughtful design changes. After our round, it was back to the very well appointed clubhouse for a meal.

Thank you Chester le Street - not only was it well done but done well. Best wishes, Richard Hannam Past Captain, Prudhoe Golf Club The Home...

I would have been happy to pay for parking but this was not an option. I've been to the golf club for meetings in the past but I won't be returning, I'll hold meetings...
