Burgham Park

Burgham Park sits in the Northumberland countryside a few miles outside Morpeth, one of the most quietly underrated counties for golf in northern England. The landscape here is classic rolling Northumbrian farmland — open skies, gentle river valleys, and a sense of space that the more crowded golfing counties to the south rarely offer. Morpeth itself is a handsome market town on the River Wansbeck, and the surrounding area rewards those willing to make the trip north.

The course is a parkland layout that makes good use of the mature trees and natural undulations of the estate grounds. Burgham Park plays to a full par 72, offering enough length and variety to test the mid-handicapper without feeling punishing, and its setting gives it a peaceful, unhurried atmosphere that many golfers find as appealing as the golf itself.

For visitors exploring Northumberland, it sits within comfortable reach of some genuinely special golf — Bamburgh Castle and the Northumberland coast are not far, making Burgham a natural stop on any northern golf itinerary.
