Amazing Views

Played April 8th, course in general was in fantastic condition. Great views at 11th green and 13th tee, the area at the 7th tee and 18th green was really badly flooded due to the tide. Players with trolleys were struggling to get to the 18th green. Seen players removing their shoes to get through the water. We played after 2pm and was £27 per round which was fantastic value. Would definitely play again. Greens were a credit to the greenkeepers brilliant condition.

Return to golf!

Played Dunstanburgh at short notice to finally get a game, as most courses in local area playing reduced holes and still soaking. It was a joy to play on dry grass with course in great condition for this time of year. Greens were quick, but true, given that its still February, and the weather was breezy (as usual up there) but stayed dry. Fantastic day out, bar staff very friendly too serving good food. Most enjoyable, bargain at £20!

Outstanding course with friendly members

Had a lovely day out at Dunstanburgh, course was in fantastic condition considering the atrocious weather we’ve had recently, plated as a one ball until I caught a friendly group of members who asked me to join them. Nice day rewarded with a good score and great experience.

Great greens for this time of year.

As most courses are closed to rain it’s always good to rely on Dunstanburgh being open. Three holes closed but that’s to be expected. Great deals if you go direct to course to book. We paid £28 via Golf Now and you could get much cheaper booking the day before or have winter warmer deals with food thrown in for a similar price to what you pay via golf now. Can only imagine how slick the greens would be in the summer.

The spectacular Dunstanburgh Castle Golf Course

A hidden gem on the Northumberland Coast line
A classic links course with plenty of unsighted greens and challenging bunkers balanced with drivable par 4s and short par 3s. Stunning views of the castle and beach.
It’s in my top 3 places I love to re visit

An absolute gem

Superb course in immaculate condition. Tee boxes like greens and the greens themselves were superb. It is a very tough test (we played into the wind for about 12 holes). Amazing value and the views are sensational. Highly recommended.
