Goswick Links Golf Club is an 18-hole links course on the Northumberland coast south of Berwick-upon-Tweed. Its design history spans several important architects rather than a single James Braid commission. In 1889 local golfers consulted Tom Dunn about potential sites; Dunn recommended the natural links at Goswick, and his initial nine-hole layout opened in April 1890.
The course expanded to 18 holes in 1894 with assistance from R. Collins, professional at Ryton Golf Club. James Braid was engaged around 1930 to lengthen and strengthen the course and proposed extensive changes to 13 holes.
The course is an 18-hole links golf course. Designed by Tom Dunn, the course originally opened in 1890. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Pro Shop, Practice Facilities, Clubhouse, Bar.
Local enthusiasts met at the King's Arms Hotel in Berwick-upon-Tweed in October 1889 to consider forming a golf club. Tom Dunn inspected possible sites and recommended Goswick's natural links land. His initial nine-hole course opened in April 1890.
The layout was extended to 18 holes in 1894 with help from R. Collins.
Goswick evolved through several generations of links architecture. Dunn established the original routing, James Braid later lengthened and strengthened it, and Frank Pennink introduced further championship-scale changes.
Around 1930 Braid produced recommendations affecting 13 holes. In the 1960s Pennink created the present fifth and sixth holes. Modern improvement work has continued, including new-hole and practice-facility projects associated with Mackenzie & Ebert.
The R&A selected Goswick as an Open Championship regional qualifying venue, reflecting the course's standing as a championship links.
Goswick remains an 18-hole coastal links welcoming members and visitors.
