What the club says: Whilst not long at just over 5,600 yards off the back markers, the course is a demanding par 68.

The course is lined by gorse, heather, whinstone and rare fauna and has a unique series of opening holes with back to back par 3s followed by two excellent par 5s. While not the longest course, amounting to just over 5,600 yards, it is a demanding par 68 although there are birdie opportunities especially on the way home with three par 4s under 300 yards for you to savour.

Fantastic Course and Club

We played Bamburgh Castle and what a gem of a course! The wind was up and every hole was both a treat and a challenge. The course was in fantastic condition and the staff were friendly, but the views simply took your breath away. I could not recommend this course more highly!

It's a beautiful course and though played in blustery conditions the challenge was fair and set up to accommodate all handicaps..
Some of the views are breathtaking which made playing in the sunshine even more spectacular..

Quirky Cliff top Course

Not sure i can give the most reliable review as my experience was clouded by a wretched night prior and both mind and body were not fully up to the test. The course is short and quirky and does lend itself to previous experience rather than the first timer but I can see how many members and visitors love the variation in holes alongside some undeniably stunning views of the bay and castle. Practice facilities are limited, the clubhouse was under scaffolding but for a majority of our group the overall experience was still very good. It's well worth a try although I much preferred both Goswick and Dunstanburgh Castle if you are prioritising a trip!

The course was in excellent condition and the scenery was breathtaking. Every hole had a wow factor and the hazards were strategically placed. The greens were immaculate and the clubhouse was very friendly. The course was challenging, yet enjoyable, and I thoroughly enjoyed the unique and quirky design. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an enjoyable round of golf with great views.

Quirky and well kept

An excellent course in beautiful location with exceptional views. Course was in fabulous condition, true and fairly quick greens. Lots of blind shots but well located markers help and these just add to the round. For much of the course there is some protection from the coastal winds but I would imagine on breezier days the wind still adds a little more difficulty to the course. Friendly staff and members.

Beautiful Course

The views from almost every part of the course are stunning, Bamburgh Castle, the Farne Islands, the North Sea Coast. It's almost difficult to concentrate, but make sure you do, the course may not be that long, but with narrow fairways and the ubiquitous wind it's very tricky!

Sublime Links Experience

Bamburgh is a gem of a course. We visited on a warm but windy October Sunday. Every hole is a true test. Starting with a drive to a par 3 over a cliff edge to the driveable par 4 17th from a clifftop. Some excellent risk reward holes. Notably the greens are perfect and I challenge any golfer good with the putter not to putt well on them. If you havent played this course you absolutely must. Great layout, challenging but scoreable if you play well.

Probably one of the most interesting courses I have evr played with amazing views over the coast. Not an easy course, needs accuracy rather than distance but decent greens, well kept bunkers (not too many!) and almost no trees!!

Brilliant variety!

Superb value for money at ?21 after 3pm. Greens and fairways were excellent (although greens were being spiked) but clearly looked after well. Each hole offered great challenge especially some 'blind' shots that require great imagination for those new to the course.
Would play it again in a heartbeat!

Spectacular, Challenging, Friendly

Played several times on this challenging course, suits a 'better golfer' I would say. As a retired person the walk can be hard so a buggy may be helpfull. Pace of play is always good but take a few extra balls and expect to loose a couple. Expect a good pint at the end

A must play in Northumberland

Firstly the pratice nets seemed out of action whilst we were there, the putting green was nice and two tiered. The tees, fairways were both in excellent conditions, with the former having positions with stunning views over the surrounding landscape. The semi rough/ rough was of a challenging length, but not long enough to lose your ball. Finally the par 3's are the crowning gem of this course as they are all have beautiful views of the castle, bay and the farne islands respectively. Overall a must play if staying in northumberland.

Loved it!

Question: What do you get if you cross a set of quirky, sometimes unique holes with stunning sea views?

Answer: A round at Bamburgh Castle Golf Club

This golf course is a reminder that amongst all talk of stiff tests, challenges, and playing to your handicap, golf is a game which first and foremost should be enjoyed. I defy anyone not to be taken in by the views from much of this course (I think I had a constant smile on my face for the first 9 holes) and the holes blend perfectly into the cliff top setting to provide a great variety of holes.

I won’t give anything further away – if you are in the area check it out – especially on a glorious sunny day.
