Once the home of Durham City Golf Club, which was founded in the year 1887 on the old links at Pinkerknowle, transferring in 1928 to the Mount Oswald Course. Durham City Golf Club moved once again to their new course at Littleburn Farm in the mid 1970s. Management of Mount Oswald was then taken over by the landlords, North of England Estates Limited and is now operated as a play and play Golf Course.

The owners continue to provide excellent facilities for the game, for the many visitors who weekly are attracted by the beauty of the course, the surrounding countryside, and the amenities of a well run '19th hole'. The Manor House, an old country mansion, built in 1800, as a family residence, is situated off the main North - South Road, one mile outside of the city, it is at the end of a 200 yard drive and is easily accessible by public transport or car. |

Mount Oswald has perhaps one of the most pleasant and mature courses in the area. The 18 hole parkland course whilst not too long, 5984 yards to be exact, is popular with many seasoned golfers, yet is no too daunting for the less experienced. There are no hills to climb but the undulating 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 than 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 to all levels of golfer who will all benefit from this magnificent setting close to the Durham City centre.
