Alnmouth Golf Club Dormy House 3-star
Foxton Hall, Alnmouth, Northumberland NE66 3BE.
+44 (0)1665 830 231
www.alnmouthgolfclub.com
One 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.

| Walton Heath Golf Club (Old course): Top golfers and golf writers have long acknowledged Walton Heath as one of the finest heathland courses in the British Isles. In fact there are two courses here, the Old and New. Read more... |
| The Welcombe Hotel Spa & Golf Club: provides an excellent Stay & Play opportunity, just a mile out of town from William Shakespear's birthplace in the centre of Stratford. The golf course, laid out in the grounds of a sumptuous stately mansion (now hotel), offers many undulating and stylishly crafted golf holes. Read more... |
Royal Ostend Golf Club: represents Belgium’s only real "beside-the-seaside" links golf course (others like Royal Zoute are located a little way inland). Here at Ostend many holes make excellent use of an impressive area of sand dunes. From the long par-4 5th through to the par-5 14th, you play across fabulously open and gently undulating golfing terrain, with few trees, fine sea views and probably a bit of North Sea wind thrown in for good measure.
