Macdonald Linden Hall, Golf & Country Club

Beautifully set in the Northumberland countryside, Macdonald Linden Hall Golf and Country Club is a superb golf destination, whose parkland layout will be enjoyed by all those who visit, whilst remaining a genuine challenge for even the best golfer.

Once the golf has finished, you can then take advantage of the 450 acres that Linden Hall sits in and start exploring the great outdoors. You can even take a trip to the local Northumberland Zoo if you really are looking for something different. If that isn’t for you, why not utilise the extra facilities Linden Hall has to offer like Spa, Gym or swimming pool.

The new fully refurbished Linden Tree Pub is relaxed and genuine, beautifully in tune with its surroundings and firmly focused on delivering fabulous food and warm hospitality to every guest. Cuisine on offer include tasty beer battered haddock & hand Cut Chips as well as the famous Linden Tree Pub Burger, the Linden Tree Pub has everything a golfer would need including a wide selection of handpicked local ales.

Macdonald Linden Hall Golf & Country Club

At 6846 yards from the Championship tees this course is rated with a par of 72, and threads its way through some testing hazards and bunkers whilst also offering some gloriously undulating fairways.

Threatening woodland and intimidating water will pose a challenge, but good strategy and accurate hitting will definitely be rewarded. Those not scoring well need not despair, however, as the course's location affords spectacular views over the Cheviot Hills and Northumberland's stunning coastline.

The demanding 4th is the signature hole at Linden Hall, where brave golfers must carry the ball over water to a green that is tightly guarded by trees. With water in play on 9 of the 18 holes, you really do need to make sure your accuracy is at it’s best.

This is the first time my son and I have stayed here, and staid is how I would describe the hotel. Room was of a reasonable size but furniture was old and worn. However, it was clean, but the shower would go scalding hot without warning. We were looking forward to a 3 course meal in the Linden tree pub but it does not serve food on a Wednesday when we stayed. We were 'upgraded' to the restaurant and given a £25 allowance each. This meant our 3 course went out of the window as starters and desserts were £8 each and the main courses just under £20. The food was very nice, though presented in a slightly pretentious way. Tasting the wine from a screw top bottle is unnecessary.

Rooms were clean and fit for purpose. Not enough plug points to accommodate battery/phone chargers etc but otherwise fine. Food budget was low with very limited choice without paying extra and drinks in the cocktail bar were very pricey

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Linden. Everything is very convenient, the staff were very helpful and polite. Enjoyed the spa facilities and had a very good breakfast. The meal in the Linden Tree pub was ok and good value. The £10 voucher per person and the 20% off drinks was really appreciated and made the whole package excellent value.

Shower was a little hit and miss temperature wise , breakfast was very good but maybe a little more effort could be made for golfers starting early in the way of being able to order to take something out if you are struggling for a formal breakfast . Beer was a an issue in the linden pub as the lager was flat
