Quite hilly on some holes but very well set out with fantastic views of the North Yorkshire countryside. The wet weather throughout July and August has taken its toll and the long grass especially the rough and semi rough is punishing for middle to high handicappers. Greens were excellent. Only complaint was the noise!!. Construction vehicles ie diggers trucks, and service vans to the many lodges around the course plus the green keepers were mowing right behind us on several holes. I’m sure on a weekend the course is much quieter though.,

Played a few times now as we enjoy the lovely views and variety with some tricky testing hole’s especially on the day we played with very strong winds. A bit confusing with the 9th and 18th tees and greens as the fairways.swap over so need to remember. Good value golf and welcoming clubhouse. . .

Really enjoyed this course. Friendly pro who gave good advice. Some quirky holes. Enjoyed the back 9 as a bit more parkland. Would definitely play again

Love this course. We play it as it’s just off the A9 near Pitlochry half way between Inverness and Edinburgh. Fairly flat and not too challenging. Nice fairways, Greens a tad slow but overall value for 18 holes.,Clubhouse looked nice but charging £2 for a 330ml can of Coke to take out didn’t endear us to stay for a drink after.

Good geeens, good fairways. Fabulous views! Especially the castle ruins on the back 9. As with most links courses it’s all about the bounce and on several holes on the back 9 even though my partner shot a long straight hit aiming for the pin the ball often pinged off the fairway into very tough rough so difficult to find his ball.. I thoroughly enjoyed the course though but had the advantage of playing it previously so course knowledge a huge advantage.

Got lucky with the weather as a warm day with a bit of breeze. Some of the holes a bit criss cross so not always easy to know which direction to hit tee shot plus balls often found way on to the wrong fairway. Having played it before we worked out where the next holes were as the course flits over to the other side of the road for 3 to 8. The back 9 is links. Holes 10 and 15 are superb par 3’s. Enjoyed the golf and pleasant drink after..

Lovely course. Quite short off the Yellows and Reds. Wide open fairways quite forgiving for straight hitters and easy to score well. Some very picturesque and interesting holes playing around and over water. Greens large, in good condition and true. Well kept bunkers. All round a great find and would definitely play this course again. Hcp - me 20 and partner 15

Superb course and great value for money. Some very picturesque and interesting holes. Tight tree lined fairways to good greens. Very enjoyable round and would definitely recommend

Great little 9 holer. Superb greens. Quite testing as some greens are very difficult to land on and read. Interesting uphill drive on the 6th rewarded by a fantastic tee shot vista from the 7th. After a long dry period the fairways are getting sparse and hard.so care needed with club selection. Played Alnmouth Village a few times now and always happy to return for a round at this quirky course.

Thoroughly enjoyed the round. Never played it before so got into trouble on quite a few holes. Lack of rain meant Some Fairways were very dry with sparse grass and hard ground causing bad bounces into trouble.
Greens were superb. Fabulous views of the castle.

Really enjoyed playing this course. Never played it before but the greens were good and all the course was in excellent condition as expected at this time of year. Some blind holes which caught us out on a couple of occasions especially the 3rd! Also long par 5s but nice wide fairways which helped save the odd wayward drive. Overall would definitely recommend this course. Fabulous views so some hills to climb. Very Friendly staff in the clubhouse and proshop. Another visit soon I hope.

Thoroughly enjoyed playing this course. There were some tricky blind holes from which the benefit of hindsight would have been appreciated. Never quite knew where your hall would end up! Interesting features like ravines to cross, dog legs, some narrow fairways and up/down hill lies all adding to the fun. The greens were in superb condition. Played during covid hence unable to rate off course facilities. Will definitely return.
