Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name Copse Corner
From The Tee The opening hole runs eastward to the sea, bending sharply left to right around a copse of trees – an exception to the rule on this true links course.

Hole 3
Hole Name Shieling
From The Tee From an elevated tee this demanding hole calls for a brave drive close to a bunker and mound before turning right towards the green.

Hole 4
Hole Name Stile
From The Tee
From The Fairway A strong par 5 that bends gently left to right. Favour the left side of the fairway to avoid the bunkers that wait to catch an errant drive on the right.

Hole 5
Hole Name Penninks Way
From The Tee Named after Frank Pennink, a top British amateur player and course architect who modified the hole in 1964. This long par 4 turns left and slightly uphill toward the green

Hole 6
Hole Name Cocklaw
From The Tee This Pennink creation is a cracking par 5. It opens with a challenging tee shot with the prevailing wind pushing hard toward the out-of-bounds fence on the right.

Hole 7
Hole Name Valley
From The Tee An aggressive drive on this par 4 must thread the needle between a high ridge covered in fierce rough on the right and a perfectly placed bunker on the left.

Hole 8
Hole Name Cheswick
From The Tee Named after the farm to the north. There’s more room to the right on this challenging right-to-left par 4 than it would appear from the tee.

Hole 9
Hole Name Cheviot View
From The Tee As its name suggests, this long par 3 looks toward the Cheviots. But don’t be distracted. There’s out-of-bounds as well as a copse of trees along the right, but both must be challenged from the large elevated tee if the prevailing right-to-left wind is in force.

Hole 10
Hole Name Lang Whang
From The Tee
From The Fairway The ideal drive on this long par 4 threatens but avoids the fairway bunker on the left.

Hole 11
Hole Name Goswick
From The Tee Another fine three-shotter, with out of bounds right and a rough-and-ditch combo on the left. A centre-cut tee shot, into an inverted saddle fairway, sets up a second shot that needs to stay left of a cross bunker about 70 yards from a tiered green that slopes front to back.

Hole 12
Hole Name Pilgrims Way
From The Tee This short but tricky par 4 brings Holy Island and Bamburgh Castle into view. But your concern off the tee is finding a fairway that’s banked sharply left-to-right.

Hole 13
Hole Name Lough
From The Tee From an elevated tee you can just see the small river which gives this hole its name. The green rises from front to back and is protected by bunkers on both sides.

Hole 14
Hole Name Dune
From The Tee
From The Fairway A pure links hole and a true James Braid classic. The undulating fairway leads to a large dune on the left.

Hole 15
Hole Name Bide-A-Wee
From The Tee
From The Fairway A quirky one-off that could only exist on a true links layout. This short par 3 starts with stunning coastal views from an elevated tee and ends with a bowl-shaped green which is protected on three sides by five bunkers.

Hole 16
Hole Name Dowie
From The Tee
From The Fairway A deceptively difficult par 4. There’s more room off the tee, especially to the right, than it would appear. But shorter hitters will get more bounce and roll if they catch the left side of the fairway.

Hole 17
Hole Name Stonehenge
From The Tee The last of the par 5s. Its three deep cross bunkers catch your eye from an elevated tee, but thankfully they’re out of range to all but the biggest of hitters.

Hole 18
Hole Name Westward Ho!
From The Tee A short par 4 from an elevated tee. A drive down the right-hand side avoids the cross bunkers but likely makes for a more difficult approach. Get past that first wave of sand off the tee and you could be putting for eagle – or facing an awkward escape from one of the four green-side bunkers.
