By signing up to the trip, you do so under the society terms and conditions regarding place allocations and deposits http://www.bartongolfsociety.com/terms_and_conditions.html

There is the option this year to play just 18 holes per day if preferred (if the numbers allow it). If you’re interested in doing this, please confirm when booking. There may be a slight cost reduction (probably only £20), this will be detailed if anyone takes this option.

Please note that handicap certificates may be required and a club may refuse you access to the course without one. If you don’t have a club handicap, you should try to get a certificate from another source (we do have some out-of-date ‘spares’ that could be used - although we cannot guarantee these will be accepted). Most courses we play do insist on handicap certificates, although we’ve never actually been asked to produce these. However, I’m giving you all warning just in case a club decides to be really strict.

Those who have secured places can be seen further down the page.

Seaton Carew Golf Club

Tees Road, Seaton Carew, Hartlepool, TS25 1DE  
0.5 miles and approx 2 minutes from the hotel

Since its creation in 1874, the finest golfers in the country have played the links at Seaton Carew including the legendary Harry Vardon, J H Taylor, James Braid and several other Open Champions. Dr Alister MacKenzie lengthened the Course in 1925 to 6,500 yards and designed new holes eastwards including the planting of over 2,000 buckthorn bushes. In 1937 Walter Hagen played an exhibition match at Seaton Carew during a European Tour and commented “It is a splendid course, the links are well groomed. It is not an easy course and provides a good test of golf. It is one I would like to play quite often”.

The course offers a varied and challenging test with plenty of twists, turns, dunes and bunkers and has held a series of R&A and EGU Events held over the years and is host to the English Amateur Championship just a few weeks after our visit.

Hartlepool Golf Club
Hartlepool Golf Club

Hartlepool Golf Club

Hart Warren, Hartlepool, TS24 9QF  
6 miles and approx 16 minutes from the hotel

Hartlepool golf club is a seaside links course that provides a stern test of golf for every level of ability, whether high or low handicapper. The undulating fairways mean that accuracy from the tees are essential to scoring well, as are good approach shots. In addition to all the hazards that are scattered over the course, brisk prevailing sea breezes add an extra dimension of difficulty to each hole. The fairways and greens are meticulously tended to by the dedicated green keepers, whilst the range of facilities on offer and the clubhouse are amongst the finest in the region.
