Bamburgh Castle Golf Club Hole 1 The Dinkie
Standing on the first tee with the North Sea all around and looking out towards Holy Island, minds can often wander from the task in hand.
It is important to note that depending on the wind direction, this hole can play anything from an either iron to a driver.
But remember, a high-quality tee shot over the Dinkie to the centre of the green is required to get off to a good start.
Bamburgh Castle Golf Club Hole 12 Lindisfarne
Straight downhill par four with thick rough right and left.
The ideal line from the tee is to the right of the marker post to ensure maximum run down the hill.
An approach needs to be long enough for find the centre of the green. Anything long and left will leave an awkward chip shot.

In his latest Top 10 Courses list, Dan Murphy lists his favourite places to play for drama, excitement, incredible views and an experience that you will never forget
The most spectacular courses in the British Isles
10. Bamburgh Castle
Northumberland, England
It’s hard to know where to look at times – the eponymous Bamburgh Castle is quite a sight from on high while Northumberland’s famous golden beaches seem to stretch away forever. It’s also an endlessly entertaining golf course, packed with quirky holes and changes of elevation.
9. Cruit Island
Donegal, Ireland
cruit island
Connected to the mainland by a small, stone bridge, Cruit (pronounced ‘Critch’ somehow) is a one-off. The 9-hole course in the very north-west of Ireland entertains and confounds in equal measure with its blind doglegs and tiny, hidden greens. Of course, there’s no excuse, well less at any rate, on the back nine when you have seen it all once.
8. Castletown
Isle of Man
It sometimes seems that this golf course is an island – the sea appears to extend in all directions. There are several highlights on this unusual blend of clifftop, links and moorland but none more so than the 5th, a cape hole that swings from left to right, and the 17th, where you must drive over the rocks and sea below to find the fairway.
7. Thurlestone
Devon, England
Harry Colt’s holiday course between Plymouth and Torquay on the Devon coast encapsulates the joy of being alive that golf can provide at its best. The sea is never out of view and the next thrilling hole is never far away. Spend a summer’s evening here and you might never be able to drag yourself away.
6. Shiskine
Isle of Arran, Scotland
On the west coast of the Isle of Arran, which is visible from Royal Troon, Shiskine is a golf course in a category of its own. A 12-holer, the challenges range from the relatively straightforward to the outrageous, with some tees and greens on shelves cut into the cliffs and others within yards of the ocean. It’s an experience you will never forget.
5. Gleneagles
Perthshire, Scotland
If you think that golf can only be spectacular by the ocean then you obviously have never been to Gleneagles. This is an uplifting experience – and we can’t separate the experience of the King’s and the Queen’s. It’s a wonderland of a location – with craggy mountaintops and rolling moorland in all directions.
4. Kingsbarns
Fife, Scotland
Kingsbarns
This course was built to thrill and it hits the spot repeatedly. There is a sea view from all 18 holes, thanks to the terraced nature of the design, which slopes down towards the sea. The real show-stopping moments come at the 12th and 15th, with the later calling for a daring tee shot over the rocks.
3. Turnberry
Ayrshire, Scotland
President Trump describes the Ailsa as golf’s Mona Lisa and he has a point. Thanks to Martin Ebert’s redesign, the Ailsa now hugs the shore in a way it really didn’t before while the 9th is now a long par 3 over the rocks below from one cliff top to another. The 10th is a real showstopper with its infinity green while the 11th is now played alongside the sea.
2. Nefyn
Gwynedd, Wales
Blowholes, lighthouses, clifftops, ocean views – Nefyn is an assault on the senses. This North Wales beauty is perched on the Lleyn Peninsula. The 2nd is a taste of what’s to come – it’s on the back nine that Nefyn really hits the heights. It’s unforgettably entertaining – and you can even call in for a pint on the 16th at the charming Ty Coch down on the beach below.
1. Old Head
Cork, Ireland
Hanging on to the very southernmost extremity of Ireland by little more than a thread of land, Old Head is, quite simply, in a category of its own when it comes to drama. Many other courses claim to offer clifftop drama but none come near to the scale of Old Head. Vertiginous drops, carries over the Atlantic Ocean and greens hard by the cliff tops – Old Head has it all.

Bamburgh Castle Golf Club Hole 18 Harelaw
Any golfer protecting a score coming to the last hole at Bamburgh will be faced with out of bounds to the right and lots of gorse to the left.
The ideal line from the tee is towards the starter’s hut.
This will leave a wedge or mid iron to a green that is protected by six bunkers.

Bamburgh Castle Golf Club Hole 2 Picnic Bay
Hole 2 is a lengthy par three with a two tiered green.
You must ensure that a sufficient club is taken to find the appropriate level on the green.
Unfortunately, anything short will be swallowed up by the bunkers or roll back to the edge of the false front.
