What the club says: The course is located within minutes of the main A1 above Alnwick Town Centre, we are 30 miles south of Berwick-upon-Tweed and 32 miles north of Newcastle upon Tyne. Originally created in 1907 and built on mature parkland the course offers spectacular views of the Capability Brown designed local countryside, extending to the sea 6 miles away.
The layout is superb with the 18 holes stretching over 6,250 yards and not too clustered together so that each holes feels less like an extension of the others, and more like an individual challenge in its own right. There are many natural hazards that can play havoc with any stray shots, including open grassland and gorse - home for many lost golf balls. The course provides a far test of golf with a mix of par threes, fours and fives. Our signature hole is the 12th known as the 'Lang Whang' - it is an uphill dog leg (left) par 5 culminating in a raised green - a par here or better and you'll be delighted.

Reviewed Jun 25 2020 by Dee T - rated 5 out of 5 My favorite Northumberland course
What a course, stunning views, challenging holes but a little forgiveness for us high handicappers and very friendly staff and members. The greens were playing fast and the fairways flowing. Some lovely downhill fairways to make you think you're a big hitter if you get the bounce right. Absolutely love this course though a buggy is recommended if you're fat like me and can't be bothered to trek up hills ????Would play here every week if it weren't for the distance to travel. Well done all at Alnwick. Cracking course and so much fun.

Bargin if a course ?25 gets a round and a buggy after 3pm. Great condition, the greens looked a little patchy but still stayed true just a little slow but well worth a goCourse (layout/challlenge)

We played Alnwick today 2nd October 2019 and the course is immaculate condition. Full credit to the greenkeeping staff as the greens are the best we have played all year. Two ball for £20 via promotion voucher must be the deal of the year !Course (layout/challlenge)

Our society returned back after a gap of three years and once again would find it hard to fault the venue. Friendly and relaxed clubhouse, warm welcome, lovely butties and the course in rude health. Played on a Friday morning after the early rush and had the course to ourselves almost. It won't be long before we're back.(Round played: Apr 2019 - Score: 95 Handicap: 19)

Reviewed Oct 18 2018 by Brian R - rated 4 out of 5 good coarse
first couple of holes are very challenging if walking a buggy would be advisable for more elderly golfers, after that the coarse is quite a bit flatter although still hilly in places, lovely views over Alnwick and out to sea, wide fairways and the greens were brilliant.Course (layout/challlenge)
