The challenge is laid down: two championship standard courses to test the best golfing brain - The Hunting's tricky approach, The Priestman's water hazards. To the victor, the exquisite spoils of the 19th hole. This is golf at its best.

The Hunting Course - A Dave Thomas designed par 72 course with lush sweeping fairways, the Hunting is hosting the PGA Seniors Championship from 21-24 August.The 7000 yard, par 72 "Hunting" is a treasure of a golf course, magnificently maintained and hosts several flagship events
Don't be lulled by the rolling moorland, streams and lakes, towering trees and banks of rhododendrons - this course will catch out the unwary. Well placed bunkers and tricky greens make this USGA standard course a real challenge.

The Priestman Course - On the west side of the estate, with panoramic views of the Tyne Valley, this Neil Coles designed course regularly hosts major Seniors events.

Wind can be a factor on this 7000 yard undulating course, criss crossed by streams. But don't be put off, this is a classic course and suitable for all levels ofgolfer. Pars are well earned here and worth toasting in the Claret Jug after your round.
