Incredible course

The condition of this course is astounding. What a belter. The only issue was the pace of play of a two ball in front stuck behind a four ball who never tried to play through. Lovely course and excellent value for money. My only suggestion for Dunstanburgh is to make a short game and nets area.

Perfect for winter golf

Given it is a links course it was in excellent condition. Only one green was boggy with water and that was the 13th. When you see the farmers field has become a lake in winter I imagine there is nothing the groundskeepers can do.

The only thing missing at the course is that there isn’t a short game area or nets, just a putting area.

Fantastic condition for november

Squeezed a round in before the second lockdown. The course was in fantastic condition. Greens beautiful and very quick. Will be back early next yr.

Tried using GolfNow for the round but the app scorecard did not match the card from the clubhouse.

Dunstanburgh GC

JUst a beautiful links course, played on a lovely day. Very busy with a charity day which slowed play and left us playing the last in rapidly fading light. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon though. While the light held we had plenty of time to enjoy the magnificent views of the ruined castle and the abundant bird life around the course.

Parred the signature hole!

Great course, spectacular views and we had the most amazing weather to help. The course was rammed, which resulted in a very slow round and we were often waiting on the tee box. Overall a great day with 5 pars and a birdie

We had a great round this week. Greens are very fast with challenging contours. Friendly staff, but very little golf equipment so bring your own!
