The Club has a long and distinguished history and is proud of its heritage as the fourth oldest course in England, being established in 1869. The existing course was created in 1930 by the famous golf course architect H.S.Colt, providing a testing and enjoyable challenge to this day. Although the course has a coastal location is has parkland turf and a reputation for the quality of its greens. This left the original nine holes intact for what is now known as the Alnmouth Village Golf Club. We retain a strong link with our sister Club, and hold joint competitions annually to celebrate our common golfing heritage. Our course is a fine test of golf - 6450 yards long, par 71 - and has hosted National and County events. Its subtle difficulties are offset by the wonderful variety of scenery, ranging from seashore to headland, with a breathtaking, panoramic view from the 15th green over many miles of the Northumberland  coastline. The course is rich in wildlife and is always a joy to play.
