Whickham Golf Club
From the moment you step into the Clubhouse you will receive a warm and friendly welcome from both Members and Staff. Whickham Golf Club was founded in 1911 and moved to its present site at Hollinside Park in 1938. The Hollinside Park Course was extended to become a par 71 for men and a par 74 for ladies.

This imaginative layout provides a challenging test for golfers of all abilities. It is an inspirational parkland course with spectacular views along the Derwent Valley. Scoring is determined more by accuracy than length as you plot your way through the tree-lined fairways to target small, tricky greens.

Good mature tree lined course. Fairways and greens good. Spoilt by too many blind shots with lack of marker post's. Lot's of uphill and sloping hole's

Just played this for the 1st time. Fantastic course. Well kept by the green keepers as it's in great condition. Hilly but the hills are spread out and challenging too as trees on the fairway. The people and staff are very helpful and friendly. Defiantly going back as one of the best courses I have ever played. Well done to everyone involved at the course. I'm a 28 handicapper and played it on 95.

The Abbotsford Golf Society attended today and received a very warm welcome. The course was in great condition and the weather was very kind to us. We finished off with a lovely Sunday dinner which was delicious. Special thanks to Gillian who sorted the visit for us and Jim for the lovely food. We’ll definitely be back!!

Beautiful course. Love the fact that every hole has the 3 B's: bench, ball wash, bin. The only thing that I didn't love was that the course is loaded incorrectly for GPS golf watches. This meant I couldn't use my golf watch with this course. Otherwise, was really great and I would definitely golf there again.

Course was in great condition. The greens were the best I've played on for a long time. They go the extra mile to make the course enjoyable. The greenkeepers should be applauded for a great job.
