Ramside Hall (Cathedral)

England, United Kingdom

Opened in 2014, the Cathedral course at Ramside Hall Hotel enjoys far-reaching vistas. Laid out over a hilltop by Jonathan Gaunt who christened the stretch from the 11th to the 14th “Ramside’s Amen Corner”.

Overall rating

Ramside Hall (Cathedral)

Home to thirty-six holes of championship golf designed by respected architect Jonathan Gaunt, Ramside Hall Hotel lies next to the little village of Carrville, less than a 10-minute drive from Durham’s famous Cathedral.

The 18-hole Prince Bishops’ course was first to appear in 1996, occupying a forested parkland setting around the 4-star hotel, with sixteen water hazards coming into play.

The adjacent Cathedral course followed eighteen years later, with holes winding across a broad hilltop plateau then into a lovely wooded valley before returning to the parkland estate where the closing holes end back at the clubhouse and hotel.

Gaunt calls the stretch of holes from the 11th to the 14th “Ramside’s Amen Corner,” with the downhill par three 12th inspired by its famous counterpart on Augusta National, but instead of Rae’s Creek, it’s Sherburn Beck that protects the front of the green at this little beauty.
