Beautifully blended into the countryside surrounding Lumley Castle and meandering along the banks of the River Wear, the parkland golf course Chester-le-Street Golf is found. This 18 hole course is designed in a partnership between two winners of the Open Championship: Sandy Herd and Ted E Ray. Chester Le Street Golf Course was popular with King George VI before he took to the throne in 1936. Welcome to a course suitble for a king, so to say.
