What The Club Says
Even without the prevailing westerly winds which often blow here, the 200 year old limestone walls, cleverly placed bunkers and the small, well-guarded greens make Whitburn a challenging but enjoyable test of golf for golfers of all standards.
Whitburn greens are considered to be among the best in the county. The course was originally laid out in 1934 by John Morrison, who was responsible for the re-development of both Wentworth and the Princes course at Sandwich. Although the course is officially described as parkland, the final five holes run along the coastline and are, to all but the true purist, links holes. The course also has five par 3's, all of which are generally played with a cross wind.

Great condition
Got awesome weather on our round-zero wind and no rain which is very rare in the north east! The course was in great condition and the greens were very fast -no straight putts here! Both of us really enjoyed ourselvesReviewer Rating

Lovely course
Haven't played for a while, and there have been a few changes. Firstly the bunkers have been slightly altered and new sand installed. Personally I thought there was a bit too much sand in the greenside bunker at the 12th, as I struggled to get a stance, but I know bunkers can divide opinion a little. The last 5 holes have changed routing as well, with the old 15th now being the 17th and the 17th now the 15th. This allows a new elevated tee box on the 16th par 3. This is certainly spectacular, but the new routing did cause some confusion and some bunching up, as the teeing areas and rough adjacent to the two par 4 fairways are quite close. There was always a potential for this, and maybe things will settle down, but did throw us a bit. Also for ladies, the exit from the new 17th green takes you up on the hill where the gents tees are for the 18th, but the normal red tees are in their original place. This means that any women players have to walk up and back down the hill to get to their tees. Still enjoyed the course, and staff and members are really friendly. So, all good fun, just need to get used to the re-routing at the end.Reviewer Rating
