A lovely course that I played as a warm-up to my annual trip in Scotland, this year visiting the Scottish borders. Some blind shots, elevated tees with nice views on the sea and on the castle. A lot of hikers along some holes. Good fun overall and definitely value for money when you get an offer of 65£ for breakfast + greenfly + meal

Leuke, goed onderhouden golfbanen met m.n. op de holes die richting het kasteel lopen een prachtig uitzicht. Overige holes zijn ook leuk tot OK. Baan was (zoals alle banen) droog, maar lag er prima bij - greens gewoon goed. Net als veel andere banen hier is er geen driving range, wel prima oefengreen(tje). Gezellige sfeer en aardige mensen. Wij speelden deze in combinatie met Goswick Links, een leuke deal!

Vandaag hier gespeeld voor het twilight tarief inclusief pizza deal. Wat een koopje. De baan ligt er fantastisch bij qua onderhoud. De greens vol in het gras en heerlijk snel. De lay-out van de baan afwisselend en soms zeer uitdagend. De vergezichten op de zee en het kasteel gewoon fantastisch. Direct een greenfee geboekt voor morgenochtend, dan voor het volle weekend tarief, maar dat is het meer dan waard.

Dit is een mooie oude echte links course met goede greens. Het onderhoud is prima verzorgd. Goed ontvangen in het clubhuis en met de lunch was het gezellig druk.

on a cold and wet November in Northumberland, this course continues to hold up against the weather and although understandably wetter than usual, preferred lie’s weren’t needed and the greens were pure.

The course is recognized as one of the best in the area, set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle towering over it. The first golf course was built on the Embleton Bay links in 1900, and it was subsequently modified by the famed James Braid. A conventional links course surrounded by bunkers and gorse, golfers must determine the ever-changing wind path as the course curves around the bay and back. Dunstanburgh Castle Golf Course, which benefits from free-draining links grounds, is often open during times of inclement weather when other courses in the area are required to close. And since the course is played on traditional greens during the year, it provides a wonderful golfing experience all year.
