About The Area
Washington is a practical North East base for a golf break, especially for golfers who want Newcastle, Sunderland and Durham within easy reach. It is not a traditional golf resort town, but it has one very useful stay-and-play option and enough local attractions to make a short break feel rounded.
The main golf base is George Washington Hotel, Golf & Spa, a four-star hotel with golf, spa facilities and on-site restaurants. The venue promotes itself as a golf getaway with restaurants, leisure facilities and a driving range, while Accor describes the hotel as around 15 minutes from Newcastle upon Tyne and Sunderland, with an 18-hole championship golf course, spa, indoor pool, hot tub and steam room.
For extra golf nearby, Wearside Golf Club is a useful addition. It sits between Sunderland and Washington with easy A19 access, making it practical for groups wanting another round close by.
Off the course, Washington has a surprisingly good local story. Washington Old Hall is a National Trust manor house linked with the family of George Washington, with gardens and a 13th-century manor-house setting. Golfers can also visit WWT Washington Wetland Centre for wildlife and riverside nature, or head to Penshaw Monument, a 70-foot hilltop monument with sweeping views.
For Hashtag Golf Travel customers, Washington works best as a North East stay-and-play break, a practical golf-and-spa stop, or a base for combining golf with Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham and local heritage.
