The coastal location of Goswick ensures that it very rarely succumbs to adverse weather conditions, with good tees and greens year round. Arguably Northumberland's premier links course, the James Braid design traverses the humps, bumps and hollows of the Berwick shore, and is a truly pleasurable golfing experience.

Set foot on the first tee at Goswick and you’ll have taken the first step on a journey where you can lose yourself amid a vast natural canvas of tumbling fairways, rippled greens, natural bunkers, sweeping shorelines and panoramic views. This par 72 layout stretches from 5,709 yards from the forward tees to 6,803 from the tips.But a round on this championship track is far more qualitative than quantitative. It really must be experienced to be fully appreciated.

The award of the Open Championship regional qualifier will only serve to enhance the course's already excellent reputation, so why not experience Goswick yourself with a golf tour in the North East?
