Percy Wood Golf Club

About this course
Percy Wood Golf Club is located near Morpeth in Northumberland, in the northeast of England. The course sits within a wooded landscape characteristic of the region, with mature trees defining much of the routing and creating a parkland setting. The design reflects the natural topography of the site, offering a mix of open and tree-lined holes that require both accuracy and course management. The course has evolved over time and is known locally as a well-maintained members' club with a strong community focus. The layout makes use of the woodland character to create distinct playing corridors, and the routing takes advantage of the natural contours to provide variety across the eighteen holes. Like many regional clubs in northern England, Percy Wood emphasizes accessibility and a welcoming atmosphere alongside competitive play. The club serves the Morpeth area and surrounding Northumberland communities, offering a traditional golf experience rooted in the landscape and culture of northeast England. The setting and design appeal to golfers seeking a genuine members' course rather than a high-profile championship venue, with the woodland environment and local character forming the core of its identity and appeal.

Getting there
Percy Wood Golf Club lies in the rolling Northumberland countryside just north of Morpeth, most easily accessed via Newcastle International Airport, a straightforward thirty-minute drive to the southwest. The route north from Newcastle traces the A1, then peels west into quieter lanes where the landscape opens into farmland and ancient woodland - a gentle ascent into the borderlands between the Tyne Valley and the Cheviot foothills. The final approach winds through the estate's own mature forest, a secluded passage that feels deliberately removed from the coastal bustle of Northumberland's better-known stretches, arriving at a clubhouse that sits tucked among the trees like a well-kept secret.
