Newcastleton Golf Course

The course is set on the side of Holm Hill but is not too hard on the legs. There are superb views over the Liddlesdale hills and the village of Newcastleton.
A challenging course with small greens makes this a good test for all golfers.
The feature hole is the par 5 18th at 521 yards long it all down hill but the hole doglegs left to a small green hidden below a bank.
Basic changing facilities are available in the clubhouse and the bar/lounge is open at the weekends. Catering facilities are available in the local hotels in Newcastleton.
Weekend booking must be made with the club secretary in advance.   

Newcastleton is Situated close to the Border between Scotland and England, alongside Liddle Water, the planned village of Newcastleton was founded in 1793 by the Duke of Buccleuch as a handloom weaving centre. In earlier times this was Border Reiver country, known as "The debatable Land", home of the Armstrongs and Elliots. The Liddesdale Heritage Centre reflects the interest in the area's past and the massive bulwark of the 14th century Hermitage Castle is close by and well worth a visit.  The castle was a strong hold in times of fighting between the Scots and the English and visitors can gain access to the grounds and castle itself throughout the year.

The Traditional Music Festival in July has an international reputation and other popular events include the Craft Fayre in May, Liddesdale Agricultural Show in August and Sheepdog Trials in autumn. Today Newcastleton provides a good base for exploring the surrounding hills and forest. Within easy access is Keilder Forest and Keilder Water; Europe's largest man-made lake, both offering a wide range of activities.

Nearby places of interest include Horn & Country Crafts, Bailey Mill Trekking Centre and Liddesdale Heritage Centre.
