Goswick Links in Northumberland is adding its first new hole since the 1960s with the construction of the par-three 7^th to replace the existing par-three 9^th hole.

Goswick broke ground on the new hole near the end of 2025. The new hole will be ready for play in April.

The creation of this new hole represents a major milestone in a front nine improvement plan approved overwhelmingly by the club’s membership in 2022. Since then, Goswick has improved the 2^nd and 3^rd hole green surrounds, built new tees and significantly re-sculpted the green on the 4^th hole, as well as building new tees on the 5^th and 6^th holes that have added length.

At the same time that it carved out the new 7^th hole, the club also built new dramatically positioned tees on what will become the 8^th hole. Those, too, will be ready for play in April.

The removal of the 9^th hole now creates the opportunity to reroute the 1^st hole and to build a world class short game practice facility. Those improvements are scheduled to begin in October.
