CDGT 2027

A warm welcome – the County Durham Golf Trail commenced in late 2017 – events were successfully held in 2018, 2019 and again in July 2021,2022, 2023,2024, 2025 and 2026. There were 74 people who played in the recent event.

From 2027 onwards , the competition will be exclusively for Mixed pairs – it will run from Mon July 5th to Thurs July 8th. The 4 courses will be played in the order of Beamish, South Moor, Brancepeth Castle and finally Blackwell Grange on the Mon/Tues/Wed and Thurs respectively.

If Mens or Ladies pairs want to play the 4 courses which form the trail, please refer to the ‘Passport’.

The overall costs will be £250 per pair and we will be open for bookings from Sunday 23rd August with a deposit of £100 securing a tee time – the balance of £150 will be due on 1st June 2027.

The booked tee times for day 1 will be adhered to as far as possible. The tees will be organised in such a way that each pair will play with a different pair on subsequent days. Tee times will be fixed for days 1,2 &3 and issued at least 7 days before the event. The final day will see the leading pairs going out at the end of the field – 4BBB stableford scoring will be used throughout. The named pair will continue to play together as a team on each day.

First venue is Beamish Park golf club, a beautiful Henry Cotton design that sits peacefully in the Beamish valley.

Next will be the Dr Alister MacKenzie designed moorland classic at South Moor, a former venue of the McGregor trophy which winds it’s way through heather and gorse.

Day 3 sees us at the Harry Colt’s masterpiece Brancepeth Castle, a worthy fixture in the UK’s top 100 courses with it’s dramatic and memorable par 3s. You are only 10 minutes drive from the centre of Durham City.

Our final days play will take place at Blackwell Grange – this course has benefitted from consultation with course designer Jonathan Gaunt. The results are very impressive and for those yet to play this course, we’re sure it won’t disappoint.
