Laid out on a west facing hillside at High Studdon,
it commands superb views of the Dale of Allen.
With its scattering of remote farm buildings and
the Cheviots which dominate the northern
skyline some 40 miles away, it is designated
as an area of outstanding natural beauty.
The nine hole course has been described by
many as "challenging" and boasts many
interesting obstacles. It is certainly
not for the fainthearted but, time and again,
visitors return determined to beat the ditches,
gullies, and wooded fairways that make
Allendale so special.
