As the oldest Nine hole Links course in England this has to be on your list
We played it in a wind that made the first 5 holes relatively easy and my 1 over gross for these holes was in no small part due to the strong winds....the 6 hole up the hill from a tee box in front of the beach is a really tough shot into a head wind....I still somehow managed a Par on this interesting Par 4 with a chip from underneath the green to leave the ball close to the pin.
The views from the 7th tee are what this course is all about....on a Sunny day you can see all along the coastline and we weren't disappointed as we had a fantastic view...
The last 3 holes into the wind when we played were not easy but we had the benefit, as you often do with a Links course, earlier in the round so it was a case of keeping it in play and taking your medicine...3 holes and 2 bogies & a Par later I putted out on the 9th to end a 9 hole round at 3 over gross so with my handicap at 12 I was pleased with how I had played.

I played the course in benign weather, although not long, it would be totally different with the wind blowing. The views are spectacular & you have a feeling of the history of the place. It was founded in 1869. Well worth a visit. Apart from the honesty box area the clubhouse was closed on my visit.

Alnmouth Village is set on the "common" in the beautiful village of Alnmouth. The first 5 holes are true links holes which hug the beach and have some very tricky undulations around the greens. A severe climb comes next, but it's worth it for the view from the 7th tee, which is breathtaking, especially if you flush your drive, which will hang in the air for what seems like an age.
Downsides on the day we visited - the clubhouse was locked up which meant access to refreshments and changing facilities weren't available. Upsides - the course was in excellent condition, especially the greens, and well worth the £15 green fee.

Decided to go up the coast and play 9 holes at Alnmouth Village as I'd not played it before and it was a beautiful sunny morning. My first gripe was that it was £20 whether you played 9 or 18 holes. Personally I think if your a 9 hole course you should set a fair price for those just wanting to play 9 holes. For that reason alone i'm unlikely to go back in a hurry. Other negatives are that a number of holes are very close together and often you are playing on the same fairway as people playing another hole. A number of parts of the course suffer from Rabbit burrows so watch where you are standing or you will turn your ankle !! The positives are that Alnmouth is a lovely village and the links course is a very pleasant place to play. Take time to linger on the 6th tee, not just for the nice view up and down the beach but also to prepare yourself for the steep climb as your drive is ( if you manage to figure it out ) up over the steep rough and onto a very blind fairway high above you. And if you thought the view from the 6th tee was good the view from the 7th is fantastic as you drive back down the hill again. An enjoyable couple of hours in a lovely part of the world with some great views but on a course which does have some issues for the cost.

Very good nine hole links. Holes are not long but there are a couple of quite challenging holes. Played reasonably and a bit better than the previous day.
