Matfen Hall Hotel, Golf & Spa, Northumberland

Located near to Hadrian's Wall in West Northumberland, Matfen Hall Hotel is set in 300 acres of beautiful parkland. The 19th Century Gothic style Stately home is a grand building overlooking the golf course and surrounding rolling hills with bedrooms that have been carefully designed and decorated to reflect the elegance and natural allure of the grand Matfen Hall.

Matfen Hall offers a range of premium restaurants, bars, and bistros. The Emerald Restaurant is set in the former library, a great location for a tasting menu, whereas Cloisters serves a la carte options and The Keepers is the clubhouse, serving contemporary dishes with views of the course. The ever-changing menus place a precedence on locally sourced produce from the Northumberland region.

Matfen Hall's parkland course includes three loops of 9 holes, as well as a par three course, TopTracer driving range, simulator facilities and ample short game practice facilities, the perfect place to hone your game before heading out onto the course.

Matfen Hall Golf Club

Matfen Hall’s golf courses are some of the finest in the North East, offering a challenge to golfers of all levels amongst the native wildlife and stunning Northumberland scenery.

There is a TopTracer driving range, simulator facilities and ample short game practice facilities, the perfect places to hone your game before heading out onto the course.

The original par-72, 6569-yard Douglas/Standing Stone course includes a postage stamp green protected by a Ha-Ha wall, with water featuring on several holes, including the signature par-3, 17th. The additional par-36, 3357-yard Dewlaw course adds variety as a third loop, perfect for an extended golf break.

Obstacles to be negotiated include the beautiful but fast-flowing River Pont, which interferes on more than one occasion, particularly on the long par-4s which are the most testing aspect of the course, and the dry stone ‘ha ha' wall, which runs directly across the estate.

At the long par-3 17th, golfers are challenged to find the putting surface, a narrow strip of green perched perilously over the river below.

A relatively easy walk, Matfen Hall is ideal for golf breaks, with a 9-hole course easing the traffic over the main track, and offering a great opportunity to those still mastering the game.

At the end of an enjoyable round, the clubhouse, known as The Keepers, guarantees a warm welcome and a relaxing environment.
