Alston Moor Golf Club

The course is a mixture of Parkland and Fell. The course was designed and built by the members and it was opened in 1969 by the late Lord Whitelaw although the club has been in existance since 1905 on varying sites in the area.

Although only a ten hole course at present, work is underway to add a further eight holes on an adjacent 65 acre site and these holes will be much easier walking as the site is fairly flat. The present course is very testing for all levels of golfer and there are some very interesting holes. Alston does not use any temorary greens and only closed when covered in snow.

The clubhouse offers excellent food at weekends and there is a well stocked bar. Societies are always welcome and the club has memberships available in all categories. There are some excellent views of the North Pennines with Cross Fell being the highest in the range (usually covered in snow until June) and the course overlooks the South Tyne Valley and is well worth a visit.
