Golf courses in Durham

Durham offers golf amid the rolling hills and river valleys of northeast England, with the magnificent cathedral and castle providing a memorable backdrop. The region's courses serve the historic city and the former mining communities that have embraced golf as their coalfield heritage fades.

Courses around Durham city occupy attractive parkland settings, often with views of the surrounding countryside. Further afield, courses in the Durham Dales provide golf in more dramatic upland scenery.
