Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to plan a golf trip to Northumberland for ideal playing conditions?

We always recommend late spring through early autumn - May to September - for the best weather. You'll get longer daylight hours and generally drier conditions, making those coastal links a real joy. Just remember, this is Scotland, so pack layers and be ready for anything.

What kind of golf courses can I expect to find in Northumberland? Are they mostly links?

While Northumberland boasts some fantastic coastal links, you'll also discover excellent parkland and heathland tracks. It's a great region for variety, offering a different challenge each day. Don't miss the chance to play both the rugged seaside courses and the more sheltered inland gems.

How does the cost of golf in Northumberland compare to other popular Scottish golf regions?

You'll find Northumberland offers exceptional value compared to the more famous golf meccas like Fife or Ayrshire. Green fees are generally more accessible, allowing you to play more rounds for your budget. It's a smart choice if you're looking for quality golf without the premium price tag.

Is it easy to get around Northumberland to play different courses, or do I need a car?

A car is definitely your best friend for a Northumberland golf trip; public transport between courses is limited. The region is compact enough that driving between most courses is straightforward, usually taking under an hour. This flexibility lets you explore the diverse offerings at your own pace.

Beyond the well-known spots, are there any particular hidden gems or unique courses we should seek out in Northumberland?

Absolutely, look beyond the obvious. We particularly love the historic charm of Goswick Golf Club, a proper links test, and the stunning views at Bamburgh Castle Golf Club. These courses offer memorable rounds and a true taste of Northumberland golf without the crowds.
