Matfen Hall Golf Club

Matfen Hall’s golf courses are some of the finest in the North East, offering a challenge to golfers of all levels amongst the native wildlife and stunning Northumberland scenery.

There is a TopTracer driving range, simulator facilities and ample short game practice facilities, the perfect places to hone your game before heading out onto the course.

The original par-72, 6569-yard Douglas/Standing Stone course includes a postage stamp green protected by a Ha-Ha wall, with water featuring on several holes, including the signature par-3, 17th. The additional par-36, 3357-yard Dewlaw course adds variety as a third loop, perfect for an extended golf break.

Obstacles to be negotiated include the beautiful but fast-flowing River Pont, which interferes on more than one occasion, particularly on the long par-4s which are the most testing aspect of the course, and the dry stone ‘ha ha' wall, which runs directly across the estate.

At the long par-3 17th, golfers are challenged to find the putting surface, a narrow strip of green perched perilously over the river below.

A relatively easy walk, Matfen Hall is ideal for golf breaks, with a 9-hole course easing the traffic over the main track, and offering a great opportunity to those still mastering the game.

At the end of an enjoyable round, the clubhouse, known as The Keepers, guarantees a warm welcome and a relaxing environment.

We enjoyed our stay the food was excellent and the staff most attentive from arrival however the water went off in the middle of the night there was no one answering in reception so we had to get up and go downstairs to find someone. Our whole wing was off and there was other residents also looking for help. We also didn't find the water and teasmade in the room until the next morning as this was hidden in the cabinet under the TV. It would have been helpful if the staff could have shown us on arrival we had extreme heat in the room on Wed night and needed a drink. There was also some confusion over our booking where the hotel charged us again for our dinner. Spa facilities were lovely and relaxing good

Arrived at hotel to only to find out that someone from YGT had cancelled our stay, the question is why would they do this?. Luckily for us the hotel was not fully booked and they were able to give us two rooms that fitted our needs. They also increased our food allowance from what YGT had given,

The hotel and room was very nice and comfortable and staff were friendly. We did have an issue with the evening meal, when we checked in we were told we didn't need to book for evening meal just to go to the conservatory bar. When we went for food we were then told that we should have gone to the clubhouse for food but it was now closed. We were able to eat in the conservatory bar but it was from a limited menu. Breakfast the following day was very good however.

No complaints about the hotel and staff, excellent location with fantastic views of the golf course from hotel and clubhouse. Would liked to have had a discount on drinks as in previous years, for a 12-player group.

You must visit Matfen Hall. It is the largest family owned spa hotel in Northumberland with 27 holes to play on the well manicured parkland golf course. Excellent practice facilities and a par 3 course too. Food is excellent. Rooms are completed to a high standard and staff are very helpful. Book it now!

My husband, myself and two friends have stayed at Matfen before but this time we asked to be upgraded and we were not disappointed. Rooms were beautiful, very well maintained and furnished. Breakfast was very good, but one comment would be that tables could maybe be larger to accommodate everything which would make the staffs life easier too. Our meals/snacks at Keepers Lodge were very good and Keith, Pam, Ian and the chefs excellent.

Originally we had booked to stay at Marr Hall on the Clyde, a venue that we had stayed at before and would have gladly returned to had the weather forecast not been horrendous for the duration of our stay! Luckily, YGT were able to facilitate our request for a change of venue to Matfen Hall in Northumbria. Travelling from Edinburgh following the A68 on the sat-nav was fine and the last 4 miles were really interesting going along a single track road to the village of Matfen. We shall have to revisit that route when we return in the future!! The hotel looks stunning and the premier room we stayed in was beautifully appointed, with a fantastic view over the golf course. After our last round of golf we decided to try out the spa facilities and we were not disappointed; very nice and just what we needed after a weekend’s golf. Before teeing off we had a light lunch at the Keepers Lodge where the prices are sensible and the staff are very pleasant; we were off to a great start! The course comprises of three nine hole loops and should appeal to golfers of all abilities. There are some challenging holes which I really enjoyed. Matfen Hall has a very good, free dowloadable app that does flyovers over each hole, making it slightly easier for anyone playing the course for the 1st time. As it was an early birthday present to me, we ate at the restaurant which, while obviously costing more, boasted fine dining and very attentive staff. We really enjoyed staying at Matfen Hall and shall definitely return. The whole experience was very enjoyable and cannot thank YGT for all of their assistance.

Wow. Site and club house were a different level. Buggies had course GPS Map on which proved helpful. We played Standing Stone and Delaw. The 1st 9 was spectacular in the grounds of Matfen Hall which could be seen from several holes. Beautiful course and scenery. The back 9 (for us) was less visual and felt like we had been given the poorer deal (but there was a members comp on playing the 3rd 9 hole course in the grounds). The back 9 was open and still interesting and the group enjoyed it.

The set up at Matfen Hall is quite unique with there being 3, 9 hole courses that you can play, each day we were given 2 of the 3 courses to play each starting and finishing near the clubhouse. The greens were very good but the teeing areas were not of the same standard. The courses are very playable and you can score well with receptive greens. The rough however is extremely thick and it is virtually impossible to find a ball that misses the fairway or first cut.

A challenging course especially for higher handicappers but this didn't detract from the enjoyment. The course itself was in great condition in pleasant surroundings. No complaints from our group.

The course was a fairly long course with sometimes long walks from Green to the next Tee which was often poorly signposted. Provided you played reasonably straight there were few hazards. Pleasant surroundings and bird life.
