Bertie takes us \u201chome\u201d today for a look at her family course, Dunstanburgh\u2026<\/font><\/p>\n

This is not a fair review, this is unashamedly the Brown family\u2019s favourite golf course. <\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

Dunstanburgh is a links course that after the the first takes you up a stiff climb to the second. You then play another five holes including an incredibly tricky par 3 onto an elevated green to a drive off the cliff and back to the beach side course. This gives you a stunning view of the course, the beach and the ruined castle on top of a volcanic rock cliff. The castle is so remote those wishing to visit it have to walk over a mile along the Northumbria Way to get to it.<\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

There is a signature par 3 over a ravine onto an isolated green only accessible via a path directly under the castle. Before we played golf i remember being on the castle walls watching golfers play this hole.<\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

The value for money here is exceptional, for \u00a3130 we got 2 rounds of golf, 3 bacon sandwiches and a brew and a hot lunch afterwards of pizza or burgers and chips, plus a buggy. Dunstanburgh is often listed in golf magazine articles about undiscovered golf courses and recently a number of high-profile golf influencers have done videos about the course. In our opinion if you can only play one course on the Northumbria coast make this one, and a couple we met on the course were playing it for the second time that week.<\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

We have played it at least three times and i was surprised when i realised i had not reviewed it previously. <\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

Now we are lucky in that we have a non-golfer with us and Katie and Bertie disappeared off the course for run on the beach.<\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

The clubhouse is reasonably-sized and Bertie is not allowed in but there are numerous tables and a large veranda outside. This is also a stopping point for ramblers so its a very busy clubhouse offering lots of choices from the catering department.<\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

Dunstanburgh is so good they have a waiting list for members, not many golf courses and say that these days!<\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

On our way out of the car park just teeing it up was a golfer and his sheepdog. <\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

Keep swinging dog golfers and put this on your bucket list but just don\u2019t tell anyone else about it!!!!<\/font><\/i><\/p>\n
