Backworth Golf Club

Backworth Golf Club was formed in 1937 - 5 years after Backworth Hall and the surrounding grounds were purchased from the Duke of Northumberland by Backworth Colliery Miners' Welfare Scheme. The 10 hole course is set in some fine gently undulating parkland that enhances the pleasure of playing the course which features some challenging holes with natural hazards and tight greens. Although it is reasonably short at 5939 yards, the par of 71 is a good indication that it is not to be taken lightly The course is known throughout the region for its friendliness along with the tight fairways and compact greens that have proved challenging to players of all abilities.
