Golf

Mount Oswald can now boast one of the most appealing and mature courses in the area. The 18 hole parkland course, whilst not too long, 5991 yards to be exact, is popular with many seasoned golfers, yet is not too daunting for the less experienced.

There are no hills to climb but the undulative nature of some of the fairways may leave you with a demanding approach to the well manicured and receptive greens.

The front 9 holes are more tree lined thand the back 9, so a premium is put on accuracy. The closing holes are very picturesque finishing with the imposing mansion house as a backdrop, this really is a course suitable for all levels of golfer who will benefit from this magnificent setting close to Durham City Centre.
