18 Hole Par 70 Parkland Course,
It is a course that remains in superb condition all year round and whilst demanding, is usually fair and enjoyable. It it widely regarded as a true and comprehensive test of one’s golfing skills.
The course is located within minutes of the main A1 above Alnwick Town Centre, we are 30 miles south of Berwick-upon-Tweed and 32 miles north of Newcastle upon Tyne. Originally created in 1907 and built on mature parkland the course offers spectacular views of the Capability Brown designed local countryside, extending to the sea 6 miles away.
The layout is superb with the 18 holes stretching over 6,250 yards and not too clustered together so that each holes feels less like an extension of the others, and more like an individual challenge in its own right. There are many natural hazards that can play havoc with any stray shots, including open grassland and gorse - home for many lost golf balls. The course provides a far test of golf with a mix of par threes, fours and fives. Our signature hole is the 12th known as the 'Lang Whang' - it is an uphill dog leg (left) par 5 culminating in a raised green - a par here or better and you'll be delighted.
