Close House

In 2011 , Lee Westwood became the attached tour professional and in the same year the Lee Westwood Colt Couse opened . But this is not the only golf course in the resort , with the Lee Westwood Filly Course also a fine test of golf . Opened in 2007 , it is 6,000 yards in length and is a par 70 . Harry Colt – whose designs also include Wentworth , St Georges Hill , Sunningdale and Swinley Forest among others – designed the Colt Course and it has his touch and feel to it . While nothing is copied directly , the rectangular tees , the bunker forms , and the variety in par 3s are all features conceived from the distilled themes of this most brilliant architect . Close House offers luxurious accommodation on a large country estate spanning more than 400 acres . The famous bed and breakfast experience is one not to be missed and a day out walking Hadrian ’ s Wall is a must .
