Consett Golf Club
Consett and District Golf Club has been in existence for more that 110 years. The course, set in 100 acres of the Derwent Valley, must be one of the most scenic in the country . They have a committed membership divided into sections for Men, Ladies, Junior Boys, Junior Girls and Seniors. The club has done well in both County and National competitions and has supplied a number of players for County teams at the adult and Junior level.
On the day our photographer was there the members were having an informal sweep competition and the Seniors were playing a match against Beamish Golf Club. There is also a professional at the club offering lessons, advice and running the golf shop.
