Situated within 5 minutes walk from Berwick upon Tweed town centre, towards the North Sea coastline. With scenic views to Holy Island and northwards towards Scotland, "The Fields" is the most northerly Golf Course in England. Established in 1903 with the original layout designed by Willie Park the then Professional at Musselburgh.
In 1914 the 9 hole course was extended to 18 holes but was only to last until 1916 when, for financial reasons, the course had to revert back to 9 holes. In 1974 the course was altered to its present 18 holes except for the alterations to the 17th and 18th, which were altered in 1994 and 1995.With lush generous fairways and clinging semi rough, the course provides a challenge to all golfing categories.
Magdalene Fields is the first or last golf course in England depending on whether you are travelling north or south. The course is situated five minutes from the centre of the ancient town of Berwick upon Tweed.
Teeing up at the first hole you are just yards from the famous Elizabethan walls. By the time you reach the signature par three eighth hole (played over a cove) you have a wonderful view of the cliffs leading into Scotland. After the turn, from the tenth there is an equally stunning view of the Northumberland coast with Bamburgh and Holy Island castles clearly in view.
