Bamburgh Golf Club, Red Barns Links, Northumberland. (1896 - WW1)
Founded in 1896.
The course was on Red Barns Links between Bamburgh and Seahouses the professional was W Weatherston.
In 1900 the secretary at the 9-hole course was G Dickson, Radcliffe House, Bamburgh.
Below is the result of a match played at Amble (also defunct) on Saturday 6 July 1912. Interestingly the away team was called Bamburgh (not Castle) so it’s possible the earlier Bamburgh club could still have been in existence at this time.
