Independent Review
See Alnmouth Village through the eyes of Cookie Jar Golf
The club was established in 1869 making it the oldest 9 hole links in England. The course was designed by the famous Scottish golfer Mungo Park, winner of the 1874 Open Championship at Musselburgh. He was also the club's first professional/greenkeeper. We stopped by here after a game at Goswick last year, and having been told about it by Ronan Rafferty we just couldn't resist.
We're so glad we did. This 9 hole layout is the epitome of simplicity. 5 holes away, and 4 coming back, almost like a miniature version of The Old Course at St Andrews with Granny Clark's Wynd crossing the second fairway, and starting / finishing from within the town.
There's a lot of history to this little beauty of a course, and we're delighted to bring you this film.
