Re: Hebburn Golf Pavilion

The Jarrow and Hebburn golf course was tucked in between Victoria Road, Hebburn Lakes on the west, the Slag Heap on the south-east and Bede Burn on the south. It was a nine-hole course, opened c.a. 1906. The first Captain was Douglas Upton, Manager of the Iron and Steel Works, who lived in Belsfield. The course closed during WW2, and did not reopen thereafter. The Jarrow and Hebburn Golf Club was formally dissolved in 1949 and the club house was sold to Heworth Golf Club for £400. The members at Heworth still compete annually for the "Jarrow and Hebburn Cup," which bears the following inscription: Jarrow and Hebburn Golf Club - Presented by the above club on its dissolution 1949 - To Heworth Golf Club for annual competition.
