Location and setting
To enjoy a vignette of England, with its beaches, ruins and sweeping green countryside while enjoying a daring and surprisingly challenging golf course, Bamburgh Castle Golf Club is the place to be, with its landscapes idyllic culminating in a breathtaking view of Bamburgh Castle. Accessible from the A1 towards Belford, this is a must stop if you are passing through the region!
Career
The 18-hole course designed by George Rochester is short but presents a great difficulty despite its 5621 meters par 68: mostly made up of par 3s, it has two par 5s that are rather tricky at the start of the game. The end of the course is a beautiful technical challenge, with a risky move to end the game.
History
In 1904, the Lord Ruler of Bamburgh and Cragside, Lord Armstrong, planned to transform his town into a favored holiday resort. For this, he turns to the sport in vogue at the time: golf. At Lord Armstrong's request, professional gambler George Rochester, who resides in nearby Alnmouth, designs a short but intense 18-hole course, favoring natural obstacles and showcasing the area's scenic landscapes. Over the years, the course has been modified several times, while keeping the same starting and finishing positions. It has more or less expanded, lengthening some holes, thanks to a significant investment in obtaining ownership of new land. Thus, the club was able to invest in a parking lot, a club house but also a training ground, until obtaining in 2000, the complete owner of the course, which it rented from the beginning.
