Boldon Golf Club initially began with the 'Old Vale Course,' a 9-hole layout. However, in 1926, the club moved to its present site and commissioned the esteemed Harry Vardon to design the course that still graces the grounds today. Boldon Golf Club proudly stands as one of five courses in the North East of England masterfully created by Vardon during the later stages of his illustrious career. Spanning 6,414 yards from the Medal tees, the course features a par of 72 and encompasses gentle terrain, including areas of scientific and geological special interest.
