Perched on Newcastle's Quayside on the River Tyne, Malmaison Newcastle is a stylish 122-room hotel that suits golfers who want a proper city base. You're a short walk from the bars and restaurants along the waterfront, plus easy access into the centre for shopping and nightlife. If you're building a short break around Newcastle, it's a strong shout for groups who want to play quality golf by day and still have options at night.
The building's industrial heritage shows through in the exposed brick and warehouse feel, but the overall vibe is smart rather than stuffy. It works particularly well for societies and mates' trips because you can keep everything simple: walk to dinner, stay out late if you fancy it and still be out the door quickly in the morning.
On the golf front, you've got a great spread within an easy drive. Close House, Matfen Hall and Slaley Hall are all within roughly 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic, with coastal links like Dunstanburgh and Bamburgh a straightforward run up the coast for anyone chasing that proper links day.
Who is this for?
Golfers planning a Newcastle-based break who want walkable nightlife, easy logistics and a strong choice of courses within an easy drive.
Who is it best for?
Societies and friends' trips who want a lively base, plus couples who like the idea of golf by day and Quayside dinner spots in the evening.
