Golf course review of Alnmouth Golf Club

Awesome course.
8th Dec 2011. wind was gusting at 50-60mph. Driving rain turned to icy sleet by the time we got to the 12th. Greens were true and fantastic for the time of year. Amazing traditional clubhouse. Hot beef sandwich to die, eaten by the real open fire in the bar that was a god send after what was total endurance golf in the most extreme conditions I have ever played in.

Golf course review of Alnmouth Golf Club

A course of 2 distinct 9's. The front 9 provides some beautiful holes with views both out to sea and of the Northumberland countryside. The back 9 is less interesting and not as scenic.

Special mention to the condition of the greens and also the bunkers on the front 9 which had plenty of powdwery sand to splash out of - a rarity in my experience.

Our group played on a very windy evening and I am looking forward already to visiting again on a calmer day, especially if the twilight rate (after 3pm) of £15 is maintained.

Golf course review of Alnmouth Golf Club

First visit to "Foxton" and I enjoyed it very much despite a very strong wind blowing throughout. We played at twilight for £15 which was good value for such a well maintained course. You can see the join between the two different nines. The first 9 holes were particularly good and enjoyable. The Fairways give some margin for error but be careful, as go to far off course and the rough gets very dense;even if it doesn't look too bad from a distance. The 2nd 9 are not quite so inspiring but they do have a bit of variety and provide a good test. The views from the course are excellent in places and you get up very close to the sea at times, particularly on the 5th. Good thing is that when you lose the advantage of the views you tend to gain from getting some shelter from any wind. Final mention must go to the quality of the greens, they are excellent. A good course with lots of character and very well kept. I'll be back.
