Actually, last week we wanted to discover Cornwall, but we enjoyed playing Whitsand Bay that much, so we played it three times. Each round was specific due to the weather/ wind conditions. A few tough holes linked to the Atlantik and stunning views at any time make it to a lovely links course. Greens have been in good condition and some are difficult to approach because of being tight and firm - it's an old, traditional course. If it is to short for you, you will play the white tees.
It is not Royal County Down, but I never played a course with such a good value for money (25 £ regular, 15 £ after 4pm. The new nice clubhouse and very friendly people let us enjoy Whitsand Bay.

Apart from it being outside and on grass, you can not honestly describe this as a Golf course. Square greens with more bounce than an inflatable castle and putting over dandelions and other unrecognisable weeds is not my idea of a pleasant golfing experience. Great views yes, but you can get the same view from any other cliff top along this coastline. Mark Twain was quoted as having said "Golf is a good walk spoiled", In my opinion he had just walked the course at Whitsand Bay before he wrote it.

played the course in 2016 july I thought it was a lovely course. a mixture of parkland and lynx golf. stunning views over the bay, lots of interesting holes by the sea. the course is mature (1905) well set up and the greens were good when I played.

Played at Whitsand Bay for the first time and was very disappointed with the whole experience. Actually no changing/shower or toilet facilities as apparently the owners are building new ones. Speaking with a member before my round and he said although there is a hole in the ground since January they have been promised new facilities for years, which is why so many members have left. The shop is a shed with a very limited choice (apart from Nike)
The course was probably a little better then I expected after my initial impression, but still not great. Nice views out to sea though.

Lots of bad reviews about the facilities, which I guess from my experience are pretty valid. The course itself isn't great and was in average condition, but the views were pretty stunning from the 2nd hole by the coast. I think if the course had some investment would be ok plus the outdated facilities need looking at. A bit of a strange set up with no golf club house, but you can get a drink in the hotel bar if you want. Interesting experience, but don't think I will be back.

I have played here a couple of times over the years, the last time was early in Sept.
As has been said before this is not the longest course but on a windy day it is a true test of golf. My favourite hole was the third with the green fashioned in a bomb crater, definitely a marmite hole!
The club does not have the most Upton date facilities but this is more than made up by the friendly and accommodating staff.
They offer excellent food in the linked hotel and offer excellent value for money.
If you are in the area and are looking for a great value round of golf you won't go far wrong.

Looking tired, lacking TLC. Green keepers driving sit down tractors on greens leaving tyre marks on green. No sand in bunkers. Greens patchy, especially 3rd, 14th, 18th.
No sign of attempts to repair damage from winter weather.

Not worth the visit! Great views and the 3rd is a really good par 3, but that's where it stops. Facilities very poor.
