Seaham Golf Club

Presenting a stern yet enjoyable challenge for any golfer, the course at Seaham Golf Club is one of the North East’s favourite. The club celebrates its centenary year in 2011, to be commemorated by a series of events involving local clubs and culminating in an official visit from Lord Londonderry.

Measuring 6,009 yards from the championship tees, Seaham is more exacting of accuracy than length. Incorporating a variety of natural obstacles and sizeable bunkers to guard greens and flank fairway landing areas, to score well at Seaham requires precision from tee to green. The exposed terrain on which the course is situated means wind is a near constant factor, one that has to be carefully considered when plotting a route between hazards. A par-70, Seaham’s five par-3s place further emphasis on the need for solid approach play.

The professional shop at Seaham is stocked with the latest golf equipment and apparel, with a PGA professional at hand to assist with purchases and provide expert tuition. Visitors are advised to pre-book their tee-time to avoid disappointment.
