Rural course close to Newcastle

Matfen Hall GC is a 27 hole course, an excellent extension called Delaw to the original course, divided into Douglas (old out 9) and Standing Stone (old back 9). A variation of challenges with open wide Par 4/5?s so some testing Par 3?s. Love the course and never feels ?busy? with the three starting options.

Great Course and facilities

Course was heavy, but understandable after the recent rain. Always a great place to play, and the food is superb. Love it.

Always Enjoy my round at Matfen

Even though the ground was soft the fairways we clear and the greens in great condition. Easy to book and staff could not be more friendly. Great course.

Reviewed Mar 27 2017

Played on 25/03 and have to say very disappointed. Started on Standing Stone. 1st hole 130 yard par 3 on a winter green...Not the greatest of starts but was willing to overlook. The fairways on all of the standing stone were disappointing and looked like they hadn't been cut for at least a week.
Back 9 we played the Dewlaw which started a lot better and looked in much better condition until we played the 3rd (which was our 12th). Lovely looking hole dogleg right par 4 around 350 yards however it was completely ruined by the hole being shortened to 170 yards using a winter green. I am using a winter green loosely as it was literally a hole in the middle of the fairway with a flag in it.
Course could be a lot better with a bit more maintenance and also signs to guide you to each hole as at times on the front 9 we had no idea where we were going as the Douglas and Standing Stone run side by side.

Wouldn't return in a hurry.
