There are few places in the UK where a golf trip feels this complete.
In the North East, you get proper links golf, dramatic coastline, inland championship courses, and the kind of scenery that makes even a bad round feel worthwhile.
And at the centre of it – somewhere your whole group can stay together in real comfort.
Goswick Golf Club (Berwick-upon-Tweed)
Consistently ranked among the best in Northumberland, Goswick is a true championship links with views stretching across the North Sea to Holy Island and Bamburgh Castle. It has hosted Open qualifying and is widely regarded as one of England’s great hidden gems. Expect firm fairways, coastal winds, and a proper test of golf.
Dunstanburgh Castle Golf Course (Embleton Bay)
This is golf at its most scenic. Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the course runs alongside sweeping beaches with the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle in the distance. It’s less about brute difficulty and more about the experience – one of the most memorable rounds you’ll play anywhere.
Alnmouth Golf Club (Foxton Hall)
A classic Northumberland links, sitting high above the coastline with panoramic sea views. It’s regularly described as one of the finest courses in the region, combining traditional links play with a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere – ideal for a group trip where the golf matters, but so does the day around it.
Close House (near Newcastle)
A completely different feel – this is modern championship parkland golf, co-designed by Lee Westwood. Set in the Tyne Valley, it’s immaculate, strategic, and offers a premium experience from start to finish. Perfect for a “big day” round during your trip.
Slaley Hall (Hexham)
Two championship courses set in 1,000 acres of Northumberland countryside. It’s one of the North East’s best-known golf destinations – ideal if you want variety, a full golf day, and a venue that caters brilliantly for groups.
And then, after the golf…
Stay together at Marystone House – scroll down for the video tour.
A place where the day doesn’t end when the round finishes.
Space for everyone, big shared rooms, TWO hot tubs, and the kind of setting where you can relive every shot (good and bad) over a long dinner or a drink outside.
This is what makes these trips work – not just the courses, but the time together around them.
If you’re planning a golf trip for a group this year or next, Northumberland quietly delivers one of the best combinations in the UK.
Thanks, and have a great weekend,
