Ganton Golf Club

Location and setting
Seaton Carew Golf Club is located in Seaton Carew, near Hartlepool, on the North Sea coast. It has three courses: the Old Course, the Brabazon Course and the Micklem Course.
Career
The Old Course, designed by Dr Alistair MacKenzie, is a 6947 yard par 72, links course; it provides a good challenge for golfers of all skill levels. The par 3, 4 and 5 follow each other without looking alike and the signature hole of the course, at the end of the game, a par 4 of 398 yards, offers a high level of technicality due to the presence of 5 bunkers around the green and a pear-shaped green, with two levels of elevation, which complicates the task of putting.

Regarding the Brabazon course, it consists mainly of holes from the Old Course, with four additional holes added in the mid-1970s by architect Frank Pennink. This renowned course, used for the English Open Amateur Strokeplay Championship, the Brabazon Trophy and the World Cup, will delight amateur players as much as the Old Course, and will satisfy demanding golfers who wish to further test their limits.

Finally, the Micklem course is slightly shorter than the Brabazon course, and it is more demanding, but it is still an excellent test of golf. This course was used for the English Amateur Boys' Strokeplay Championship, the Carris Trophy.
History
Designed in 1874 and opened in 1891, as Durham & Yorkshire Golf Club, this course was originally a 14-hole seaside course, designed by Dr McCuaig, a golf-loving surgeon, who to his dismay , found that there was no land in the counties of Durham and Yorkshire. He succeeded in convincing the authorities to approve the construction of a course, designed it himself and named it for the two regions which until then had not yet discovered the joy of golf. A few years later, James Kay, a professional golfer, was consulted to add 4 more holes to total the coveted 18 holes. As the coastline receded, an area of ​​dune became available and in 1925 the course was completely redesigned by Dr Alister Mackenzie. The club, since renamed Seaton Carew Golf Club, now has three courses, including the original, known as the “Old Course” comprising 22 holes, and is available in three different layouts, for a total of 5 layouts.
