Golf Courses at Slaley Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort

Hunting Course

The Hunting Course is the superior layout at Slaley, and has been recognised for many years as an official PGA Tour venue, having hosted the Great North Open. Dave Thomas' design measures over 7,000 yards from the championship markers, and has some formidable holes. The course winds its way through towering trees and banks of beautiful rhododendrons, and golfers will be faced with many different challenges, where shaping the ball and being creative is certainly an advantage.

The signature hole of the resort is the Hunting's 9th, a tough par-4 where you must thread your drive between the monstrous trees on the right, and the meandering stream that skirts the left of the fairway. After a good tee shot, golfers are still left facing a long uphill approach shot to a severely sloping green, on what is one of the best par-4s around.

Priestman Course

The Priestman is the second course at Slaley Hall, but it should not suffer an inferiority complex. Designed by PGA Chairman Neil Coles, this is a great addition to the resort, making it one of the few to have two genuine championship courses. Opened in 1989, the Priestman has matured into a tournament venue, with some superb holes, and also fantastic panoramic views across the Tyneside Valley.

Slaley Hall's extensive practice facilities offer visiting golfers the perfect chance for some tuition to sharpen up their skills.

Tips for visiting Slaley Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort

Ryan Shrimpton
UK & Ireland Travel Team Manager

Handicap: 5
Visited: October

Two great courses here at Slaley Hall, found in the midst of pine trees and cherry trees in which I definitely lost a few balls. The Hunting Course has some tricky bunkers thanks to the design by Dave Thomas and being over 7000 yards from the back, it's a course to think about when playing each shot. Plus, being only 20 miles or so from Newcastle, this is a great course to play along with Close House

Good hotel but we had a few problems. Our rooms were in need of an update and the heating system sorted out as they were also cold, unless they are lowering the temperature to due to the fuel price hikes. All of our party had problems with their key cards which involved a very long walk to reception to have them reset on numerous occasions. Bars were fine if a little expensive, the dinner on each day was average bar food. The most disappointing thing was the buffet breakfast which was invariably cold on each morning. It's a shame as the staff were attentive and helpful.I can't comment on the spa facilities as I didn't use them myself but my colleagues did comment on how cold the pool was. Overall the hotel could be very good if they could sort out the small issues.

Very disappointed with the courses and restaurant. Fairways and greens in poor condition after recent maintenance activity. Green fees did not reflect the poor quality of the putting surfaces. I have played on better winter greens. Fog came in on the second morning but the starter allowed people to tee off in dangerous conditions. He thought that extending starting intervals to 15 minutes would be ok. Visibility was 50-100yards and this decision was very reckless and probably based on trying to keep the course open and avoid reimbursement. Needless to say we packed up an left. Dinner on second night was a disaster , were allocated another late 9pm slot despite having booked more than 2 years ago. We waited and waited only to be told at 945 that they could not supply our dinners as ordered, They scraped together some soup and burgers to try and keep us happy along with a token gesture of waving some drinks costs. All very poor and not adequate recompense for the disappointments. Never ever will I return and my only recommendation for this place to anyone would be to avoid it like the plague. My worst ever golf holiday. Yours, Stuart Young 07795060627

He told us to go upstairs. As we walked into the upstairs re was a large queue (all been sent from downstairs).

Room was lovely, very comfy bed toiletries a bit basic. Coffee/tea facilities were also basic, breakfast tea and coffee sachets. Quite a shock to the system as hotel was very busy and not really much social distancing or face masks especially in busy areas. Most staff also chose not to wear face masks which was quite surprising, especially when government are still recommending masks worn in busy areas. Lack of staff and I thin experience of staff was pretty obvious, took us two hours to have our dinner in the restaurant, then I had to go up to ask the waiting staff for our sweets. Tables very slow to be cleared and prepped for next guests, same applied at breakfast. Hardly any visible staff, no bread for toaster, no fried eggs left, no milk for cereal, lots of empty trays. This spoilt the experience, when we came out from breakfast huge queues had formed which might not have happened had tables been promptly cleared and prepped. Beautiful place lots of nice little nooks and crannies and nice seated outdoor areas. Would be a good idea to have a matrede in the dining room to make sure everybody is utilised as efficiently as possible.

Such a shame the place is running short staffed. When you wait 45 minutes between your main course & your desert & the chips were cold. I am not a complainer, I sympathise with the staff, the chips were cold as there was probably no one to bring them out. Just like the deserts would have been, if they weren't deserts! The new thing with Slaley Hall is, If you want fresh towels, toiletries, t bag or coffee you have to ask? As they do not service your room until the "Third" day/night of your stay. Sorry to all the hard working staff, but your employer isnt helping you guys, your jobs or their reputation. As their standards are way down.

Great course almost once again up to Pro Tournament standard. Greens excellent. Again I would suggest a Friendly Course Marshall to assist playing times. It will always be difficult to Marshall 4 and 2 balls but unfortunately golf is one sport where some players are by nature slow and can ignore those patiently behind which in turn can irritate those waiting to play but for my part just being on such a great course outwayed any irritation.

Course is well laid out but the rough was deadly lost ball everytime entered it. The greens had been Hollow Tyned so the actual putting surface was poor but had that not been the case the greens would have been very challenging. Unfortunately due the numbers playing progress was slow but the fantastic scenery made up for that disappointment. Obviously due to the increased popularity of golf and the aftermath of lockdown the number of golfers on the course has increased I think a Course Marshall would have been a good idea if only to remind players of golf etecate and to help look for lost balls.

We enjoyed the Hunting Course. It's a long track, but we were in buggies which helped the weary bones. The course condition was excellent, the greens very fast but consistent. Only slight criticism, and not of the course itself, was we experienced a man walking across a fairway with a small child on his shoulders, seemingly oblivious to the danger of doing so, even when it was pointed out to him. In a similar vein, small children playing in the sand bunkers beside the 9th green. They knew they shouldn't have been there though. A great course, in great condition.

see comments re Priestman course. buggies are expensive, we paid £35 and were then forced to play another £15 to play 9 holes in the afternoon.

course was fine, but the greens were not up to standard yet - being this far north and 1000 ft high the greens were not at their best. if visiting this course suggest end of May before a visit.

Another almost great course. Hilly with some longer walks between green to tee. As per my huntings review greens not their best , so with totally grassless areas with grooves yet the green keeper puts the hole next to it when there’s a massive green part empty. Again all bunkers need at least 3 inches of soft sand applying to them.

Great location and weather always helps. Course could be amazing just let down by grooves in the greens after treating leaving them gritty and very bumpy in parts and sand in all bunkers solid with no give.

Greens had recently been scarified and were slow and a little unpredictable.

Not just as pretty as the Hunting but quite a nice course. Greens had been hollow tined but were still more than acceptable. Very long course but quite open fairways.

An outstanding golf course with varying degrees of difficulty it offers high reward for risk, good Bertie opportunities combined with very difficult long path falls. Situated in stunning surroundings it was a real pleasure to play a course in such good condition in the middle of October.

The course layout is above average with the fairways tea boxes and general length of grass from fairway second cut to rough or on point. However the greens in particular were very poor and were probably suffering as a consequence of a very long hot summer however there were too many bare patches with long grass making the ball jumping around. The bunkers were not in very good condition either with very inconsistent amounts of sand. But all in all playing with five friends it was fun And we would most certainly play the course again.

very challenging course. for many holes you have to hit very big and quite accurate off the tee to give yourself any chance of making the green in regulation. The course definitely got the better of my friends and I, but we enjoyed the challenge of playing it all the same.

Fantastic course. We found some holes quite sheltered and others very exposed to the wind. Good range of challenges to contend with across the 18 holes. good variety of length of holes.
