Close House was built in 1779 for the private use of the Bewicke family, however, its history dates back almost 800 years, to the early thirteenth century.
In 2007 Close House became a luxurious and tranquil retreat only 15 minutes from Newcastle City Centre offering conferences, meetings and the finest quality golf. 2011 was one of the most notable years for the recent history of Close House. Lee Westwood, the No.1. golfer in the world at the time, opened the new 18-hole golf course. Lee Westwood also became the official attached tour professional at Close House, putting Close House on the global golf map. This new 18-hole golf course was voted one of the top 100 golf courses in England shortly after it opened. The new No.19 clubhouse and restaurant opened the same year. The success of No.19 has led to the clubhouse becoming a destination restaurant. The focus at Close House is very much on the golf experience.
