We recommend booking your tee times well in advance during these peak months.

While it's in Scotland, Alnwick is a charming parkland course, not a links. You'll navigate tree-lined fairways and some elevation changes, demanding accuracy over brute strength. The views of the castle are a constant, stunning backdrop that truly sets this course apart from other Scottish parkland gems.

It's the blend of history and a genuinely friendly atmosphere you'll find here.

You'll find Alnwick Castle Golf Club offers excellent value, especially compared to some of Scotland's more famous championship courses.
