Goswick Links Golf Club

What The Club Says

When the celebrated golf writer Bernard Darwin first saw it, he ‘fell deeply in love.’ Global Golfer’s Paul Atkinson and his pals call it ‘Valhalla.’ English Golf Courses considers it a ‘James Braid masterpiece.’ UK Golf Guide rates it a ‘must play.’ Golf Empire raves that it’s ‘as good as many of the top links in East Lothian and knocks socks off many of its southern counterparts.’ And Golf Club Atlas states simply, ‘If this was your regular, you would think you had died and gone to heaven.’

What’s inspired so many to wax so poetic?

That would be Goswick Links golf course in Northumberland, nestled amid windswept dunes along a vast expanse of stunning coastline midway between Edinburgh and Newcastle, just three miles off the A1.

This treasure is a bit remote. But that’s one of the many attributes that makes it so special. Seek it out and you’ll be rewarded with an escape from reality to, as Darwin puts it, ‘one of the most naturally magnificent pieces of golfing ground that ever swam into the ken of the golfing explorer.’

You’ll also be challenged and inspired, no matter your skill level. The R&A has designated Goswick as Regional Qualifying venue for the Open Championship through 2024. And it recently hosted the England Golf County Senior Finals. Yet choose the tee appropriate for your game and you’ll walk off the 18th green with a round to remember as you indulge in a bite and a pint in the lounge of our welcoming clubhouse.

We love our links. Now, we’d very much welcome the chance to share it with you. As Fine Golf assures, ‘you will not be disappointed.’
