Golf in Northumberland
As Northumberland borders the North Sea, you will find a lot of seaside and links courses here. So, when planning a golf break to Northumberland, make sure to play Goswick Golf Club, Close House Hotel & Golf Club, Northumberland Golf Club and De Vere Slaley Hall. As mentioned, the best course lie along the coast and just above Newcastle upon Tyne. If you want a break from golf, then discover romantically ruinous castles, visit abandoned beaches or the bunting-strewn market towns. A few places you must visit in Northumberland are Hadrian's Wall, the Holy Island and Alnwich Castle. Getting to Northumberland is fairly easy and can be reached through the air via Newcastle International Airport or Edinburgh or by ferry through Port of Tyne.

Dunstanburgh Castle Golf Club
Dunstanburgh is better known for the castle, however, the golf course is a hidden gem.

Alnmouth Golf Club
Alnmouth Golf Club is een bijzondere baan. Het is een combinatie van een geaccidenteerde parkbaan, afgewisseld met enkele links holes. Je komt zelfs zoet en zout water tegen. Een beetje knullig is hole 8. Hier sla je af van een matje.

Alnmouth Village Golf Club
True or not, it is fitting that some credit Mungo with the design of the original 9 holes of Alnmouth GC. If Mungo did design the course it was while doing a stint in the navy.
