With being members at a club inland we like to travel to the coast to play Whitburn every couple of months. Never again. The man today in the professional shop 29/12/2020 was the most arrogant bloke ive came across. \\After paying £24 to play we came at 8.48 and the course was in full frost with all temp greens on which were impossible to putt on so we didnt bother putting. Was chatting to a member passing by the fairways and he said we should ask for our money back as no way we should be paying £24 to play in this. \\Afterwards i went to the shop and politely explained that we play here regularly and i usually bring a few lads here as im the one local to the course. I said another member suggested we should ask about something back as the course wasnt any near near playable to the money we paid. He laughed and said no chance. \I even suggested could he maybe give us another round for half price as few of the lads had travelled far, in which he said no to that aswell.\\Me being a bit surprised at his approach and that i even mentioned to him you know i was even trying to persuade the lads to join before this he then suggested with a smile on his face if we all join now he will refund us our money, to which i replied you have made my mind up i wont be joining now because of your attitude.\\Walked away disappointed with the way we were treat and wont be returning because of that, which is a shame as i enjoy the course on a better day and i have put plenty money into it for many years.\\\

Very boring and a wide open course!!! Most of the par 4's are very similar, followed by three consecutive par 5's that are squashed together and only the greens are different! Hole 13 is a nice par 3. Greens are over rated to say the least and course could do with a major shake up! Clubhouse food is very poor, beer not good and expensive.

Great course with some nice sea views & there's always a welcome in the clubhouse. Undergoing a few hole changes at the time which when complete with only enhance it's appeal.

This course is really well kept but I found it a bit monotonous. Plus I dislike courses that have tee boxes firing over previous greens forcing waits (especially on busy days).

The course is very good for mid to high handicap players. This was the first time we've played it and we'd definitely go back. It was very windy but still very playable. Greens are excellent.

A nice course, fairways in good dry condition. Greens still bumpy and are in new of a good role, hard to get a read of the greens.

This course was in excellent condition when we visited, especially considering the winter we have had. The holes on the first part of the course are a bit samey, although the par 3's are a good challenge. The final 5 holes over the road are good old fashioned links holes. The course provides excellent views over Tynemouth and out to sea.
The staff in the pro shop and clubhouse were very friendly, as was the member who pointed us in the right direction when we got lost on the course. Finally the food was both excellent in quality and price, and at £16 for a full day's golf Whitburn is worth trying out if you are in the area.
