Hartlepool Golf Club: a couple of miles south of the seaside and port town of Hartlepool, you'll find the revered golf course of Seaton Carew. A couple of miles north of the town, is the also enjoyable but lesser known seaside links of Hartlepool Golf Club.
Hartlepool's layout is quietly sandwiched between Crimond Beach to the east, and the Durham Coast Line railway to the west. With sea views aplenty, the course delivers everything you'd expect from a beachside links layout. Whereas the front-nine loop plays to the north and west of the clubhouse, the back-nine loop heads south and east.
Visitors welcome on weekdays (after 11am), Saturdays (after 1:30pm), and Sundays (after 2:30pm).
Must book in advance.

Hartlepool was formerly home to heavy industry, including steel-making and shipbuilding, as well as having had a fishing industry. Nowadays the town is more associated with light industry and urban development, especially at its marina (the former South Docks), which opened in 1993. To the south of Hartlepool is the more holiday-oriented resort area of Seaton Carew.
Women’s (British) Open: the last women’s major championship of the season is hosted by Royal Porthcawl GC. It’s the first time this fabulous seaside links course has hosted the event (July 31-Aug 3).
Walker Cup: the 50th playing of this prestigious men’s amateur event sees the GB&I go head-to-head against the defending USA team at Cypress Point Club, California (Sept 6-7). After that, all eyes turn to Bethpage State Park on Long Island, NY, where the American and defending European professional teams engage in the 45th Ryder Cup (Sept 27-29).
Lottie Woad: 21-year-old Woad burst onto the professional scene in July, with wins in the Women’s Irish Open (as an amateur) and three weeks later in the Women’s Scottish Open (as a professional). She nearly picked-up a major championship, placing third in The Evian in the same month.
Pádraig Harrington: the ever-likeable Irishman added the (British) Senior Open Championship title to his stellar array of tournament successes. His win came on Sunningdale’s spectacular Old Course. Harrington had already bagged the U.S. Senior Open title in June this year.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
