Close House Golf Resort

CLOSE HOUSE GOLD RESORT, NORTHUMBERLAND, ENGLAND

Built-in 1779, Close House in Northumberland was built as a private home for the Bewicke family and through generations until the early 20^th century when the premises were mortgaged due to the family’s wealth subsiding. The estate went through many hands until 2004 when it was sold to a local businessman, Graham Wylie, who developed the property as a luxurious retreat offering conferences, meetings, and top-quality golf.  The Courtyard suite accommodation provides rooms of a high standard, offering the perfect place to relax after a day on the golf course. The Terrace rooms were later opened, giving the opportunity for Close House to accommodate more golfers throughout the year.
