Fab end to our mini golf tour. Course fantastic as usually. A little more challenging than normal due to higher winds, but still great fun.

The spectacular Dunstanburgh Castle Golf Course

A hidden gem on the Northumberland Coast line

A classic links course with plenty of unsighted greens and challenging bunkers balanced with drivable par 4s and short par 3s. Stunning views of the castle and beach.

It’s in my top 3 places I love to re visit

Amazing golf course

Managed to book a hot deal for this course for just £24 and the value for money was incredible, it’s definitely one of my favourite courses now. The course was in fantastic condition and the greens were pretty much perfect. The views were great especially from the 6th tee which is an amazing place to play from, and I loved the tricky and sloped greens which were a real challenge. Definitely thought the front nine was the more interesting 9 but then the back nine was a great opportunity to shoot a great score. Will definitely be back sometime in the future and will be recommending it to friends. Truly a beautiful golf course

An absolute gem

Superb course in immaculate condition. Tee boxes like greens and the greens themselves were superb. It is a very tough test (we played into the wind for about 12 holes). Amazing value and the views are sensational. Highly recommended.

Visit

Course was in good condition. Had a pleasant chat with green keepers along the way. Only blot for me is the amount of divots not replaced. I am a visitor and it only takes 20 seconds (if that) to replace your mark.. poor etiquette from people who can't be bothered and spoil the course. Other than that, a fantastic place.
