Newcastle-Under-Lyme Golf Club

Newcastle-under-Lyme Golf Club is based on the edge of the town from which it takes its name, in north Staffordshire close to the Cheshire border. Newcastle-under-Lyme itself is one of the older boroughs in the Potteries conurbation, predating the six towns of Stoke-on-Trent that grew up around it during the industrial era, and its outskirts still hold pockets of older parkland and farmland that escaped the area's ceramics and coal-mining past. The town sits at the western edge of the Potteries, with the Cheshire Plain opening out to the north-west and the Staffordshire Moorlands rising towards the Peak District to the east. Its position on the old road network between Stoke-on-Trent and the Cheshire towns of Nantwich and Crewe has long made it a natural crossing point, and that same accessibility now serves members and visitors reaching the club from across north Staffordshire and the neighbouring county.
