Seaham seems to have gone largely unheralded over the years on the North East golf scene, which is surprising, because it's a pretty, tidy and testing course with five of the best par threes you'd wish to see.
The first is a fairly gentle par four of 328 yards with a drive over the brow of the hill and that will leave a wedge and or sand iron to a green that slopes away and the trick here is to get the ball to stop.
The par five 16th is a real three-shotter at 568 yards with the drive needing to find the right to left sloping fairway to give you a chance with the second which is over the stream and the third should them be something like an eight or less.
