Golfing Tours on the North Northumberland Coast

There are only 37 areas of the United Kingdom that have been given the accolade and title “An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty”, the North Northumberland coast proudly boasts this official title and displays its (AONB) logo with both pride and humility.

The Hotels

The Longstone House Hotel, North Sunderland, Seahouses

This Hotel is situated in the less busy fringe of the village and offers excellent value accommodation in combination with the highest quality kitchen. The resident owners Trevor and Ann Ledbitter personally supervise their Hotel with diligence and humour, which ensures a return visit from most guests.

The Bamburgh Castle Hotel, Seahouses

Justly proud of its three star status and its unrivalled position overlooking the harbour of Seahouses this Hotel caters for residents with a style long thought extinct. Elegant dining rooms and spacious residential areas bring calm as standard.

The Links Hotel, Seahouses

Ever popular with our all male Golf Parties this small Hotel boasts every modern facility in its well-appointed bedrooms. The bar is a constant hum of golf mishaps and triumphs accompanied by the click of a pool table. The food in this Hotel is superb with local produce much in evidence, and is complemented by the small but well constructed wine list.

The Victoria Hotel, Bamburgh

Set in the heart of the now little village that once was the capital of “Angleland”, The Victoria Hotel has brought a new dimension of style to our area. A fine brassiere, internal Italian style bistro combine with small sitting room and fine dining room to give its guests an international feel. Spacious rooms and excellent service give this location a “class” rating with our guests. Suitable for larger parties of up to 40. To step out of the front door after breakfast and view the dominance of Bamburgh Castle is an uplifting experience in itself.

The Choice of Courses

Linden Hall

A must to be played, either first or last of your tour. Set in the grounds of Linden Hall, a five star Hotel, this course was voted in the top ten new courses and is regarded as “The Augusta” of the North. A true parkland feeling from the first to last tee, mature trees, pond guarded par threes with lots of room to move between tee and green makes golfing a pleasure. Well-stocked pro shop and well attended bar in “The Linden Pub”.

Burgham Park

A Mark James academy course now fully reaping the rewards of its generous design and tree plantation is now providing an excellent test of Golf on greens that are unmatched. A generous practice area allows the swing to be fine tuned before or after your round. Well-stocked pro shop and first class modern clubhouse complete a first class venue.

Alnwick Golf Course

Set high above the Ducal town of Alnwick (pronounced Aanick) with its Castle and Garden now a world-class destination is Swans field Park the home of Alnwick Golf Club. Part mature parkland and part heath this course is sure to please, with the possible exception of the 14 th. a monster par 5 known as “The Lang Wang”. Friendly unpretentious clubhouse with super soup!

Alnmouth Golf Club (Foxton Hall)

An interesting curiosity – a seaside parkland golf course. Hosting many county events this course is manicured by the most attentive green staff who always present the course in immaculate condition. The old Foxton Hall serves as a most dignified clubhouse where relaxation after a round is a reminder of how thing used to be. Small pro shop and quality changing rooms for visitors.

Dunstanburgh Castle Golf Course

If there is one reason for the golfer to come to Northumberland, this James Braid classic is it! Nestling in the crook of silver sanded Embleton bay, with the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle as a constant spectator this course weaves its own magic. Rolling links, plateau greens and fair, but only just, fairways bring to the fore the reason golfers took up the game. The most welcoming clubhouse with its well-presented food plays host to an international membership, within the club.

Seahouses Golf Club

This small, but perfectly formed, course has 12 links holes and six parkland holes each with their own character – non-more than the fearsome 10 th. a par three over the liquid fairway of the old quarry. Short enough to play all day, the course and its clubhouse, amply repay the time spent, even if some of it is spent gazing at the splendid views of the Farne Islands.

Bamburgh Castle Golf Club

A course for the photographic golfer, for no other course offers such views over a 360-degree panorama – five castles may be seen from the 15th hole! With six par threes and nine hidden holes golfers test not only their golf but also nature, with gorse and whinstone still often the victors. The clubhouses, built in1904 the same year as the courses was laid out, offers light snacks over which to contemplate unrivalled views.

Goswick Golf Course

A James Braid masterpiece of links golf construction. This course is everything a golf course should be, lovingly tended by green keepers who pamper every little hill and hollow to make this one of the finest links course you will ever play. Little pot bunkers penalise the greedy whilst the undulating greens reward the studious and the breeze demands attention. An excellently stocked pro shop and driving ground complete all golfers requirements, with the clubhouse providing quality to match the course.
