Visit websiteOne of Alnmouth Golf Club’s unique features is its onsite accommodation. The Dormy House occupies the first floor of the clubhouse with room for up to 26 guests. There is very little Dormy House accommodation left amongst English golf clubs, so Alnmouth upholds a uniquely British tradition.
