Alnmouth Golf Club

Alnmouth Golf Club was established in 1869, making it the fourth-oldest golf club in England, and its long history is central to the identity of the course. Despite sitting on the Northumberland coast at Alnmouth, the course itself is laid out on parkland turf rather than true links terrain, and it has built a reputation over the years for the quality and presentation of its greens. The club operates as a private members' club, with active men's and ladies' sections alongside a well-established junior section that continues the club's traditions with younger golfers. Its coastal position, close to the mouth of the River Aln, places it among a cluster of well-known golf clubs along this stretch of the Northumberland coastline, and visiting golfers often combine a round here with trips to nearby courses at Bamburgh and Goswick. The clubhouse atmosphere is described as friendly, reflecting the club's long-standing membership base. Given its founding date in the 19th century, Alnmouth predates the vast majority of English golf clubs, and that heritage, combined with its coastal parkland setting, continues to shape how the club presents itself to both members and visitors today.
