Our course at Roseberry Grange is among the most intriguing and challenging in the region. While it may not appear the longest on paper, the deceptive terrain and strategically placed hazards ensure a testing experience for golfers of all levels.

Visitors are welcome to play year-round at some of the most competitive prices in the area. The course is open daily from 7am to 8pm during the Summer months.
We offer excellent facilities, including a versatile putting area, a floodlit 240-yard driving range, and a warm welcoming clubhouse with a great selection of food and drinks.
