Slaley Hall (Priestman)
Slaley Hall (Priestman course): Stately Slaley Hall (now a much extended Stay&Play resort hotel) is located just six miles southeast of the Northumbrian market town of Hexham. Here you'll find two excellent and contrasting parkland golf courses. The newer Priestman course has a more open feel than its companion Hunting course, and lays down its own array of golfing challenges.
This expansive and rangy layout will accommodate big-hitters and strategists alike. Several water hazards and plenty of stylish bunkering will need to be carefully negotiated, while the generally good-width open fairways should inspire confidence from the tee; more so than on the often tighter and more challenging Hunting course.
From the Priestman course you'll enjoy expansive views over stunning Northumberland countryside, with the beautiful Tyne Valley much in evidence. If you are visiting Slaley Hall don't overlook this excellent golf course, even though it is generally regarded as second in line to the more renowned Hunting layout.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Proof of handicap maybe requested (for the Hunting course).
Credit cards accepted. Contact club for full details, discounts, Stay&Play packages, etc. [Last updated: 2019].
Players generally walk this course. Golf carts available for hire.
Good
For several years the Priestman course was home to the Northumberland Seniors Classic, a European Senior Tour event (see our Tournaments section >by Venue >Slaley Hall). | The course itself is named after the second owners of Slaley Hall, the Priestman family, who owned the Hall until 1984 when it was sold for development into the current hotel and golf complex.
2019 Golf World rating: 36th best Stay&Play golf resort in Britain & Ireland.

Visit websiteThe original castle-like Victorian mansion, complete with 'defensive' battlements and once the centre of a glorious sporting estate, was much extended in the 1980s to create a large resort hotel and golf complex. Set in 1,000 acres of the finest Northumberland moorland and forest, Slaley Hall is now one of England's best known luxury hotel and golf resorts. The 18th green on the Hunting course provides one of the best vantage points from which to appreciate the fine structure of the original Hall.
