Reviewed Mar 27 2018 by Peter - rated 5 out of 5 What A Course.
Played the course on Saturday. The Wednesday before I played The Filly at Close House. Dunstanburgh absolutely blew it out the water. Considering all the snow we've had I couldn't believe the standard of the course. Greens and fairways were the best I've seen so far this year.We were lucky that there was hardly any wind, as on a windy day it would be a different animal. the Par 4, 6th Hole is up there with the best holes I've played. I could not rave about the course anymore. I liked it that much that I plan on joining this season and I live the best part of 50 miles away.
Staff and members were also very friendly everyone seemed to want to say hello which made it an even better experience.
Well done to all involved at Dunstanburgh!!!

I loved playing this wonderful links course; looking forward to returning. It is a challenging course by the North Sea, with beautiful surroundings. I found it listed as a National Trust Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The clubhouse is warm and welcoming, with friendly staff. The course is very well looked after by the greenkeepers.Course (layout/challlenge)
