Alnwick Golf Club

Great round at Alnwick.

£9 each for 18 holes on a course in good condition considering the weather.

Plenty of people out on the course and play was at a decent pace didn’t get held up once, nor did we have anyone right behind us.

Would definitely return.

New layout

Liked the new layout of the course and the new club house has an amazing view. for the resent weather the course is playing well. the only thing stopping a 5 * is there's nothing to clean your trolley with after your round, really need an air compressor or something. They have a rolling brush for your shoes tho.

Work in progress at Alnwick

The new club house and revised hole playing order are very worthwhile updates [some would say long overdue!]. We enjoyed our visit and would recommend to others. Still quite a bit of detail green keeping and ancillary work in progress which hopefully will be completed in time for the 2023 season [some of the GUR looks like it needs new topsoil and turf]. The 18th is a tough hole to finish on and there is still a lot of opportunity to lose balls in the wind bushes on the revised 1st, 2nd, 18th and elsewhere. Somewhat perversely Storm Arwen has actually done the course a few favors – it is now a bit more open with some of the previously overgrown tree cover thinned out nicely to the benefit of playability and the spectacular views from the course.

Need irrigation

Played the course. However greens were dying as irrigation wasn’t working and hadn’t worked for several weeks. Almost impossible to land a ball on the green!!!

Confusing

We realise this course is undergoing substantial changes with a new course configuration along with a new clubhouse in a different part of the course so all the numbering will soon be changed.

We found it confusing as to where hole 5 was and got lost and played 16 and 17 after 4.

We found someone who could put us right and generally the sequence of holes was easy to follow until we got to the 18th which was bisected by the 17th which caused us to doubt if we were playing it correctly.

The rough was so dense any ball going in was lost and we have never lost so many balls in one round.

Our buggy ran out of charge by the 11th but we were cheerfully rescued and given a replacement.

The staff we met were a delight and made us fell very welcome.

Will be back again

Only negative thing was the course layout. We couldn't figure out where to go on a couple of holes. This is only due to some major work happening on the course. Once this is completed we will definitely be back.

Very disappointing.

First time playing Alnwick and overall very poor.

Playing in late April the course was in need of much work, although multiple green keepers were seen.

Tee boxes were either winter mats, bare or completely overgrown.

Fairways were not cut nearly short enough, semi rough was too long and punishing.

Bunkers were generally not prepared and weedy.

Greens were very dry and uneven due to hollow timing which although is required the course is many weeks behind every other local course I have played this year.

Much of the course lies in the middle of housing developments that interfere with the layout with rough temporary paths to navigate including from the car park to first tee.

The 18th hole is largely missing with a temporary green likely to be in play for the foreseeable future.

I would not recommend playing Alnwick despite the competitive green fee. Disappointed.

Course in great condition

Course in great condition for time of year. Winter greens cut but not being used.

Some greens being worked but fine to play others were in great condition.

Weather kind on our visit, sunny, dry, and the wind seemed to pass overhead.

Friendly staff in clubhouse. Food/drink good and reasonably priced
