Great course
A wonderful course with spectacular views. No two holes the same. Shortish in length, hence par 68. We play this course every year and it doesn’t disappoint. Recommend Dunstanburgh castle also as it is only a short drive down the road.( and much cheaper at £22 per round).
Only gripe is the green fees are expensive. However, it does come down to £45 if you play after 4 pm. This is not a problem if you go in the summer months as sunset is around 9 to -9:30.
All in all. Highly recommended.
Great course
Short course with 6 par 3’s and two par 5’s . Winter tees on every hole made it even shorter. The greens were very good for the time of year and consistent throughout the course. It was freezing 3° but felt like -1° but with no clouds and bright sunshine made for some stunning scenery. Staff and members were very friendly, can’t wait to play again on proper tees.
Wonderful
As good as any links golf you can get even in high challenging winds was an absolute pleasure to be a golfer sampling this excellent course challenging but very enjoyable
Perfect Winter Golf
Another visit to Bamburgh and it never lets you down. The course is in great shape and plays fair. The greens, if a little slow, ran true and the fairways were still nice and firm with a bit of run. We played as a 4ball and with people in front and behind, we never felt rushed or held up. We enjoyed the welcome in the clubhouse, the full English breakfast was great, and the post round beers were enjoyed by us all. Definitely a favourite to play, especially in the winter, and we all look forward to returning.
The stunning Bamburgh Castle Golf Course
My third time playing this spectacular golf course. A hidden gem in Northumberland. Challenging yet fair. With stunning views of Bamburgh castle, Ross sands and Lindisfarne.
I would recommend this course to anyone planning a golf trip to Northumberland
Nice views
Lots of blind shots and unknown bounces with the course very dry. Very hilly and a hard course to walk. Buggy advised for anyone not fit. A new irrigation system was being installed when we played so one hole was not playable but we were given a free drink. A decent course but out of 4 courses we played this week this was the most expensive at £65 and not in as good condition or as enjoyable as the other 3 at £40.
Great course
Short but challenging course with several blind shots.

Stunning views and great course, tricky but fair, look forward to coming back 🏌️♂️😎
Breath taking views
Bamburgh Castle Golf Course is the most beautiful course i have ever played. Most causes have a good front 9 then the back 9 is lacking Bamburgh however is absolutely beautiful for the full 18 holes.
The course feels very natural, not man made / heavily designed. Makes the most of the natural landscape, dropping greens between natural occurring features.
Initially I thought £65 was expensive fir a round but its worth every penny.
I woukd highly recommend the course and I will definitely be returning when I'm next in the area.
Great Course with stunning scenery
We thoroughly enjoyed the course and the welcome, even with a bit of wind and rain it was great from start to finish with some spectacular holes to play, would definitely come and play again
A little Gem
Loved the quirky layout and the challenge the very windy conditions gave us. Some great holes and best views in the country. Looking forward to playing it again now If walked it once.
Tough
Great course with amazing scenery, tough in the stiff wind though
Golf with a view
Played on a Tuesday morning in January and the course was basically empty. It was beautiful sunshine and a bit chilly at 6 degrees but we wore the right layers and were rewarded with a great round. The views are as advertised and spectacular from Castle to sea to Holy Island- phenomenal!
It was our first time and there are a few blind shots but we only lost one ball. Holes 8 and 14 are the most challenging par 3’s I’ve seen.
After the round the starter even came to ask how it went while we were enjoying a fantastic soup and sandwich in the club house. We will be back!
A great course
First time playing a course so close to the sea. Not overly long but the weather and bunker positions definatly give the course plenty of protection. I would definatly recommend playing here. I will be back
