The River Wear snakes around three sides of the course over a disctance of a mile and a half, and from the fairways there are no better views of the Bishop's Palace and surrounding land.



The scenic countryside provides a tranquil golfing experience, belying the close proximity of the town centre of Bishop Auckland. At around 6000 yards the course is not long but is challenging with water featuring on 12 holes.
