Please book your tee times on BRS prior to arrival at the Club.
The Clubhouse toilets will be open for players during reasonable daylight hours.
Staff are on part time Furlough and this is the darkest time of the year.
The office may be manned part of the time but the Bar will remain closed for all but takeaway coffees and pre packed snacks if available.
Golfers are asked to take extra care as the ground conditions in many places continue to be wet and very slippery.
Golfers are also asked to respect “Course Closed” signs and not to play when there has been a heavy frost.
Winter League
Winter League (over 9 holes, 1-6,16-18) will resume on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, weather permitting and will run through to late March as one competition.
The highest aggregate Stableford scores from up to six rounds will win. Players may play as many rounds as they wish on the appointed days and their best six will count. Scores already posted will count towards the best six.
Anyone who wishes to put a winter league score in on Thursday, Saturday or Sunday should pick up a card and comply with current BGC competition rules.
Those who wish to enter their scorecard must make sure they are playing with a member, the card is signed by the marker in both (the player must not touch his own card) columns and posted in the box in the entrance when the round is completed.
PAYMENT – The clubhouse may not be open on every competition day. Therefore, we will only be asking members to pay an initial £1 for entry for the time being.
When the clubhouse does re-open that they pay at the bar for all cards that they have posted over the next few weeks.

What our visitors say about us in - see more reviews on our testimonial page
Wayne Dinning - September 2020
Just a note to say how much we all enjoyed Bellingham yesterday, the greens were spot on and the young chap behind the bar was welcoming and very helpful.
Andi Ruggles - September 2020
It rained a tad, but what a great course, I just wish I did it justice, I also wish I was a better golfer, but....
Thanks again
BT Golf Society - July 2020
Just a note to say thanks for giving us a great day. We always enjoy visiting Bellingham and yesterday, the course was in fantastic condition with everyone commenting on how good it looked and played. A big thank you also for the hospitality, we were well looked after and the food went down a treat. Looking forward to our next visit.
Many thanks
Gerry Fitzsimons - October 2019
My golfing partner and I travelled up to Bellingham yesterday, to play a round under the 1893 Club scheme.
We had a grand time. the young man on duty made us very welcome. We had a couple of butties and coffee before venturing out.
Yes, the course was wet, but that did not detract from our enjoyment.
Lots of very interesting holes.
We were a bit shattered by the time we finished, we are not used to banks and hills !!!
We will be back next year, thank you for allowing us to play your course, which given the weather conditions, was in good nick.
Nigel Davison - August 2019
I would like to thank the green keeping staff at Bellingham for presenting the course in such good condition after having such terrible weather conditions leading up to the Seniors Open, well done.
George Thom - July 2019
we thoroughly enjoyed our day. The welcome on arrival was very good and the course was in excellent condition. Thanks also to the catering staff for their service.
Simon Smithers - Smiffys - July 2019
We discovered this hidden treasure, created from the landscape itself, courtesy of a golf day, in July 2019
A fabulous course with holes like no others ,anywhere. Holes that make you think, then surprise you and finally beat you.
A proper test of golf for any handicap. Top tip take a buggy . A lovely local club, with really friendly clubhouse. A gem!
Andy Crozier - The Great British Ground Screw Co - July 2019
“A true hidden gem - Bellingham Golf Club was a course I had never previously had the opportunity to visit however, my company recently attended one of their charity golf events (this one in particular was for The Brain Tumour Charity) and we could not have been any more grateful for the invitation. Stunning views of the Northumberland area, an impeccably well kept course with a variety of challenging holes and staff whom made us feel as though we had been members for years. A combination of all of this plus the superb weather meant for an incredible day out with plenty of laughs and money raised for a great cause. My company will most certainly be looking to reattend the charity day next year but I will definitely be looking to get some practice in at this great facility before then.”
Nigel Brown - May 2019
We enjoyed terrific days at Bellingham last Sunday and Wednesday. We would like to thank you and ask that you convey our thanks to all your staff for making Northumbria 2019 a memorable tour.
Craig Wright - May 2019
“Sunday lunch at Bellingham Golf Club comes highly recommended. We visited as a group of 8 last weekend and we will definitely return again. Staff offered a warm welcome, looked after us incredibly well and the food was amazing whilst offering great value. We also got lucky with the weather and enjoyed the fantastic views across the Northumbrian countryside. Thanks and hope to see you again soon”.
Ian Aitken - Silver Service Golf Society - April 2019
Just a wee note to say we enjoyed our day at Bellingham. The course was in great condition, very tidy with some challenging holes, especially the par 3's and the views were lovely. Hard to believe it only went to 18 holes in 1996. Mr Wilson did a fantastic job and the memorial on the course was a nice touch. The Staff in the clubhouse made us very welcome .
Jim Woodward - Silver Mongoose Golf Society - April 2019
I visited your course with the Silver Mongoose Golf Society this month and would just like to say what a fantastic welcome we received. The course was in great condition for this early in the season and the meal afterwards was excellent.
If anybody wants to play a great course at a great price then this is the one for you.
Nothing is too much trouble even when I left my winter Mits in the golf buggy they were found and returned promptly for which I am most grateful.
I did try and put feedback on your website but could not find were to put it but would like you to add my comments please so everybody knows what a great set up you have there.
