What the club says: The Club has a long and distinguished history and is proud of its heritage as the fourth oldest course in England, being established in 1869. The existing course was created in 1930 by the famous golf course architect H.S.Colt, providing a testing and enjoyable challenge to this day using his trademark steep slopes and run off areas to protect the greens. Although the course has a coastal location it has parkland turf and a reputation for the quality of its greens and excellent presentation.

Our course is a fine test of golf , 6525 yards long, par 71 for the men, 5752yards, par 74 for the ladies and has hosted National and County events. Its subtle difficulties are offset by the wonderful variety of scenery, ranging from seashore to headland, with a breathtaking, panoramic view from the 15th green over many miles of the Northumberland coastline. The course is rich in wildlife and is always a joy to play.

Most Helpful Review

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.

Not for me!
This is a very high class but very difficult course dominated by more bunkers than I have ever seen on a course before. I counted 10 on one hole alone. Absolutely ridiculous! The greens are slick amd impossible to read being more like an ocean wave. Do not ever want to play this one again. Don't even think about it unless you a single figure golfer.

lovely track with some great views over the coast
Really lovely course with great facilities. Good variation of holes and some long par 4s playing off the whites. Greens were receptacle and true. Course is in great condition. Good driving range set up and practise chipping green/putting green. The driving range isnt under cover which would be nice because of the location but overall its a good set up.Would happily play here again.

Delightful course
Visited on a perfect sunny day with little wind, this is a lovely course to play and in excellent condition. It's position close to the sea makes for wonderful views; the out 9 is probably more attractive than the back 9. It must be quite exposed when the wind blows. Some great holes with small tight greens and challenging approaches make for a great round. The clubhouse is welcoming and there is a large dormie house for overnight stays.

One of the best courses in Northumberland, tricky in places and quite long, but always fair, and lovely views from almost every hole. Well worth a visit.

This was the first time I have played the course so as always it was interesting to see it from that angle...

I found the first few holes fairly tough on a cold winter's day with a number of Par 4's well over 400yards which when the ball isn't carrying far made them not that easy....
The back nine was shorter and more of an enjoyable game because of that fact alone....the views down the last Par 5 back towards the coast were the stand out for me and I would say that, along with the Par 3 on the front 9 along the same coastline, these made the day really worth the effort with outstanding views along the Alnmouth beach....
