Testimonials & welcome from our President

I'm delighted that you have chosen to visit our website to find out more about our club. First and foremost, Tyneside is a beautiful and challenging golf course tucked away behind Ryton village and set high above the picturesque Tyne valley and river.

Established in 1879, this is one of the oldest golf clubs in England and a warm 'Geordie' welcome awaits you in our lovely old pavillion clubhouse. Have a look around the site - then come and see us for yourself - you will not be disappointed.

John Cushnaghan
Club President

Tyneside is one of the Tyne Valley's real gems. Tucked away close to Old Ryton Village, it is truly a wonderful course set in beautiful surroundings with picturesque views. It's also a very good test of golf with natural hazards and carefully placed bunkers but it also has forgivingly wide fairways on many holes.

"We have been visiting clubs all around the country for several years now. Tyneside is outstanding not only because of the course, but I would say that the welcome we received surpasses any other venue we have visited. We don't often revisit clubs - but we may well make an exception this time."

When I first joined Tyneside, every time I walked down the drive from the car park on a Saturday morning, I was struck by the historic feel of the place and excited by the fact that I was going to play one of the region's top courses. I felt that this was an enormous "treat" but that it was my just reward at the end of a week's toil!

This year we held our company golf day at Tyneside for what must be the seventh time and yet again we had a tremendous time. Organising the event was simple, everything ran very smoothly; the reception our guests and hosts received at the club, the food and drinks before and after and quality of the course on the day could not have been better. Two weeks after our golf day I'm still receiving messages of thanks for the day and commendations for the course. We've already started thinking about next year!

The course we consider to be the best in the area 20 miles either side of the Tyne. We thought the course was in marvellous condition and the food afterwards was terrific. Please pass on our thanks to both Green Staff / Pro and Caterer for helping to make yesterday an excellent event.

HSBC Newcastle & District Golfing Society

Many thanks for helping to organise the society outing for last Sunday. All members commented that the course was in beautiful condition and the greens were a fantastic challenge as they were lightening quick. The catering was spot on too – can you please pass on my thanks to the catering staff please.
