What the club says: It is the ideal type of holiday course, not too long or difficult for the moderate player provided a reasonable degree of accuracy is achieved. "Wild hitters" can be severely punished, as some of the hazards are quite unusual. The most striking is the wild cleft in the Cliffs known as "Upgang Ravine" which has to be driven when playing the 6th and 18th holes. The degree of driving difficulty on many an occasion is decided by the prevailing wind which may come from either the North Sea or the moors.

Shortish, mainly clifftop interesting course
Fairways and greens in good condition. There are a few pretty short holes but it is still challenging overall especially with the wind prevalent.12 of the holes are on the coastal side of the coast road and those 12 are split 7/5 across a ravine with two of the drives needing to carry the ravine. At present the bridge connecting the two sides of the ravine is out of commission and there is an additional 5 minute walk in each direction to circumvent this.Reviewer Rating

Short but interesting with tricky winds
Very muddy in places and required to use mat on fairways. Very windy but sunny day. Fairways and green heavy to allow course to recover from winter/rains. Rough not as bad as pro suggested. Winds made it a challenge but helped to drive a par 4 green however a well hit high 3 iron made around 120 yards on another hole.Reviewer Rating

Always a pleasure but less so with the third closed
Whitby is one of my favourite courses in the area, however the third being totally closed and the fourth having its tee moved due to the third works definitely affects the ratings this time. Aside from the aforementioned work, the course was in good condition for the time of the year and greens although having treatment were fast and true. As always very pleasant members and a pleasure to play even on an extremely windy day (added to the fun!).Reviewer Rating

Golf trip venue 2022
Small group of 7 on a golf trip and had a ball here. Really warm welcome. Great course which challenged both low and high handicappers. It's the wind which provides the difficulty here. 2mph both days. The views are fantastic and the course was in fabulous nick. We are here too and the food and service was excellent.Reviewer Rating

The fairways were quite narrow so more often then not you were playing out of whispy grass,also there were a couple of ravines you had to get over which made for some great teeing off shots.Loved it.

Enjoyable forgiving course
New course layout that although a little shorter nevertheless still interesting and better as the course feels more integrated rather than the two road separated sections. The short holes greens are being protected with new ditches. Greens were heavily sanded and fast. Bunkers and fairways in good condition.Reviewer Rating
