Whilst meeting all of the club’s practical needs, the new building also blends modern facilities with traditional décor, maintaining the friendly atmosphere the club is known for.
The club hopes to capitalise on the investment by introducing new membership categories, expanding the events programme and using the hospitality areas for social events and functions.
Andy Hill, Alnwick Castle Golf Club manager said: “The completion of building works and improvements at Alnwick Castle Golf Club marks the latest milestone in the club’s history and will support our plans to prioritise participation and accessibility, host new events and provide the best experience to our visitors.
