South Shields Golf Club was established in 1893 and is situated on coastal heathland in the shadow of Cleadon water tower, a local landmark, which can be seen for miles around.
At 6295 yards, the Mackenzie/Braid designed course provides a fair test of golf for players of all abilities. The course is noted for its fine greens, easy walking and magnificent views all round, particularly over the Tyne estuary, north to the Cheviot hills and south over Wearside to the Cleveland Hills. The course seldom closes due to the excellent drainage through the limestone base on which it is built, ensuring good conditions underfoot throughout the year. During the winter months the need switch to winter greens is extremely rare making our winter open events extremely popular.
Join us in the clubhouse and the team will provide you with a warm welcome and high quality catering as you arrive and/or before you leave on your journey home.
Look forward to seeing you very soon!
