SLALEY HALL (HUNTING), NORTHUMBERLAND
Architect: Dave Thomas (1989).
Yardage: 6,530-7,088 (par 72).
Green fees: £110.
In a nutshell… The dynamic part parkland/moorland is one of the leading layouts in the North East, having hosted many European Tour events. It’s supported by the neighbouring 18-hole Priestman and a luxury hotel. You’ll love the... Overall challenge, especially the SI1 par-4 9th played through an avenue of trees and rhododendrons to a well-guarded green beyond a burn.
