Maften Hall

When you drive through the grand entrance of Matfen Hall, it's clear you're entering a golfing sanctuary. This resort club in Northumberland has it all: a 36-hole complex broken down into three distinct 9-hole courses - Douglas, Standing Stone, and Dewlaw, along with a separate 9-hole Par 3 course. As you make your way past mature parkland, burns, and woodland, you feel as though you've entered a different realm, one where your golf game takes center stage, and the worries of the outside world are left behind.

The courses at Matfen Hall are nothing short of an exhilarating challenge. Designed to test golfers of all skill levels, they each boast unique features that keep players engaged and entertained. The Douglas, with its Par 72 and length of 6678 yards, offers meticulous fairways and strategically placed hazards. Standing Stone, another Par 72 layout, runs for 6722 yards and is laden with subtle but tricky obstacles. Dewlaw, the longest of the trio at 6732 yards, offers a Par 74, providing a real stamina test even for seasoned golfers. Each course has its own set of unique challenges - whether it's the enigmatic dry stone "Ha-Ha" or the water hazards that dare you to take an ambitious swing.

Of course, the Matfen experience doesn't end when you step off the 27th green. The clubhouse serves as a welcoming haven where you can relish the company of fellow golfers. Complete with a bar and restaurant that live up to the reputation of the golf course, it's a perfect place to unwind after a day of play. Need a room for a special celebration or corporate event? Matfen Hall has you covered. Its versatile rooms for hire adapt to various occasions, making it an ideal venue for events of all kinds.

And let's not overlook the Pro Shop and its wealth of services. Whether you need tuition to improve your game or custom fitting to find that perfect set of clubs, the skilled staff can cater to all your golfing needs. The facility also boasts a 10-bay driving range where you can work on your swing mechanics or just hit a few balls to relax. In all, Matfen Hall proves that the modern golfer can indeed have it all: a challenging game, high-quality facilities, and a setting that feels like an escape from everyday life.
