Jessica Slaughter, prosecuting, told Newcastle Crown Court : "A vehicle was reversed into the reception doors and the club shop was burgled by three men."
Some £16,000 of stock was stolen and £6,000 of damage was caused and the club said it had to spend around £50,000 on beefing up security and their insurance rocketed by £6,000.
On April 5, the gang struck at Chester-le-Street Golf Club, in County Durham.
Two men broke into the clubhouse using a hammer and stole historic trophies worth £12,000, many of which had sentimental value. Some were later found in the River Wear.
