Few English golf clubs can claim a founding date in the 1860s, but Alnmouth Village Golf Club is among the oldest courses in the northeast, with roots stretching back to 1869. That kind of heritage leaves a mark on how a place feels — this is links golf in its most unadorned, historically honest form, laid out on common land above the Northumberland coast where the game was played long before architects or agronomists got involved. The course belongs, in every meaningful sense, to the village itself.
The terrain is genuine linksland, exposed to the coastal winds that roll in off the North Sea and test every club in the bag regardless of what the yardage says. Short it may be by modern standards, but the ground game matters here, and players who try to fly every shot soon learn their lesson. The layout rewards local knowledge and a certain old-fashioned creativity.
Alnmouth itself is a small, remarkably pretty estuary village at the mouth of the River Aln, with a strong sense of being slightly apart from the modern world. The broader Northumberland coast — an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty — offers some of the least crowded, most atmospheric golf in England.
