'Best Kept Secret'
These are the words of
Paul Corney
of Golf North East.
"Whickham's course has been developed on rolling hillside and has to be
one of the most attractive courses in the North of England. The panoramic
views over the Derwent Valley, Tyneside and beyond are simply stunning.
It's not a course for teeing up and testing modern day equipment.....
the emphasis here is on accuracy rather than length and your ability to get
into position to leave the easiest shot to the green."
Whickham are holders of Durham County trophies - The Clark Cup ( Men ) and the Thomlinson Bronze Trophy ( Ladies ).

Red-Kites are nesting on the course in Spring 2008.
Whickham is probably the first golf course in the UK to be 'home' to
a breeding pair
