Warkworth Golf Club Synopsis
Visitors can play 5 days a week with Tuesday and Saturdays reserved for member play only. There is one greenkeeper at Warkworth Golf Club but an army of willing volunteers helps keep the course in tip-top shape.
Warkworth has nine holes but 18 tees. There is a single Par 5 of 476 yards and two Par 3’s which measure 177 and 217 yards respectively. The remainder are two-shot holes that stretch from 309 yards to 400 yards.
