Bamburgh Castle Golf Club

A course for the photographic golfer as no other course offers such views over a 360-degree panorama – a total of five castles can be seen from the 15th hole! This hole has featured in books on the 18 most beautiful golf holes in the world. Six par threes and nine hidden holes test not only your golf but also the forces of nature, with gorse and whinstone (the locally basaly rock on which Bamburgh and Dunstanburgh Castles stand) often the victors.The clubhouses, built in 1904 (the same year as the courses were laid out), offers light snacks over which to contemplate unrivalled views.Telephone : 01668 214378 or 214321

Goswick Golf Course

A masterpiece of links golf construction, designed by James Braid who designed Augusta, Georgia where the US Masters is held. This course is everything a golf course should be, lovingly tended by green keepers who pamper every little hill and hollow to make this one of the finest links course you will ever play. Little pot bunkers penalise the greedy whilst the undulating greens reward the studious and the breeze demands constant attention.An excellently stocked pro shop and driving ground complete all golfers requirements, with the clubhouse providing quality to match the course. Goswick is often used to hold leading competitions and Open qualifying rounds.Telephone : 01289 387256

Seahouses Golf Club

This small, but perfectly formed, course has twelve links holes and six parkland holes, each with their own character. No hole is more daunting than the fearsome 10th, a par three over the liquid fairway of the old quarry. Short enough to play all day, the course and its clubhouse amply repay the time spent, even if some of it is spent gazing at the splendid views of the Farne Islands! Telephone : 01665 720794

Alnwick Golf Course

Set high above the Ducal town of Alnwick, with its Castle and Garden now a world-class destination is Swansfield Park, the home of Alnwick Golf Club. Part mature parkland and part heath, this course is sure to please, with the possible exception of the 14th, a monster par 5 known as ‘The Lang Wang’. Friendly unpretentious clubhouse.
