Dunstanburgh Castle

GF Round: £35wd, £40we

This par-70 course runs along the coast about 40 miles south of the border with Scotland. It was remodelled by James Braid in 1920, and what remains is very much his handiwork with just three par 3s and a solitary par 5. Not heavily bunkered, it is exceptionally pretty.

GM verdict Idyllically situated and hugely enjoyable seaside course.
