Where we are

Before & after

Since the builders moved in on 28th September, the clubhouse has been stripped back and reworked from the inside out. The old bar is becoming an open new space, the clubhouse lounge is home to a brand new bar, and the former dining room is being turned into a welcoming new reception area.

We’ll keep adding photographs as the work progresses. In the meantime, the course is open as normal and the Greenkeepers Barn is serving drinks and our full kitchen menu every day.

01

The old bar becomes a new space

The original bar has been cleared to create a brighter, more open space for members and visitors to relax in after a round.

The announcement

An exciting new chapter for Dunstanburgh

We are delighted to announce that from 28 September our clubhouse will undergo a full refurbishment, as we begin an exciting new chapter for Dunstanburgh.

This investment in our facilities will transform the clubhouse into a fresh, vibrant and modern space, designed to reflect everything that makes Dunstanburgh so special. A carefully chosen new layout and decor will highlight the history of the club and the camaraderie that brings everyone together.

It is a big step forward in our vision for Dunstanburgh, and in our commitment to making it one of the very best golfing experiences in the North East — a better experience for our members, their guests and visitors alike.

We are not closing

The Greenkeepers Barn stays open throughout

While the main clubhouse is being transformed, the Greenkeepers Barn will be open throughout — a fully licensed bar and the full kitchen menu, in a relaxed and characterful barn setting.

Something a little different, and a fine part of the Dunstanburgh experience in its own right.

Until then

Business as usual, with a few changes along the way

Work is expected to continue until early December, and we cannot wait to welcome you into the newly renovated clubhouse. Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
