Goswick Links Golf Course in Northumberland is nestled amid windswept dunes along a vast expanse of stunning coastline midway between Edinburgh and Newcastle, just three miles off the A1.
This treasure is a bit remote, but that’s one of the many attributes that makes it so special. Seek it out and you will be rewarded with an escape from reality to, as Darwin puts it, ‘one of the most naturally magnificent pieces of golfing ground that ever swam into the ken of the golfing explorer’.
You will also be challenged and inspired, no matter your skill level.
The R&A has designated Goswick Golf Course as an Open qualifying venue up to 2022 and it recently hosted the England Golf County Senior Finals. Yet choose the tee appropriate for your game and you will walk off the 18th green with a round to remember as you indulge in a bite and a pint in the newly refurbished lounge of the welcoming clubhouse.
