North east England has two fine links courses: Seaton Carew *(SC) at Hartlepool and Goswick (Go) near Berwick-on-Tweed.
But there is arguably one of the finest heathland course in the British Isles at Ganton *(G) inland from Scarborough, in addition to Alwoodley *(Al), Moortown *(Mt) and Sand Moor *(SM) north of Leeds, with The Northumberland *(NL) in Newcastle upon Tyne, being all fine.
Bamburgh Castle (BC) along the cliffs, I believe should be included, while I have yet to play it, as I do the links at Cleveland (Cl) that is reported to be improving.
