Ramside Hall Hotel, Golf and Spa in Durham is to invest more than £6 million in upgrading its off-course facilities.

Home to two highly-rated championship golf courses, the hotel has unveiled plans to build a new multi-million-pound golf academy, leisure and entertainment hub.

The ambitious development will include a 43-bay TopTracer driving range, a six-lane indoor bowling alley, sports bar with interactive electronic games such as darts and shuffleboards, pool tables and large TV screens which will show major sports events.

A six-lane bowling alley aims to attract a wider customer base to the club

A new golf academy will include new short game practice and coaching areas, a new retail outlet and a 120-seater function room.

The phased opening of the development will take place between March and August this year.

Hotel owner John Adamson believes the development will be a great asset not just for Ramside, but for the wider area.

“These new facilities will have something for everyone, not just for golfers,” he said. “The bowling alley and the sports bar with the electronic games will hopefully attract people who just want to enjoy some fun activities, but don’t necessarily want to play golf.

“At the same time, the Golf Academy will mean that anyone who is interested in learning the game – or who wants to improve their existing game – can also make use of the state-of-the-art facilities.”
