What a day. Wind, rain, sun, typical of a links course on the coast, great challenge in firm conditions. Greens were good. Food and hospitality second to none. Already plannig a group booking next year.

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.

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!).

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.

Surprised

Good course, did enjoying it twice whilst on holiday in Whitby. Staff very helpful and friendly. Also the local golfers where friendly too, giving advise. If I'm back in Whitby again, definitely play this course again.

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.

Interesting cliff top course

Very windy on day played, 9-7-2 course configuration with middle 7 over road away from cliff playing around a housing estate and a little back and forth. However, the 11 on the cliff side are fun to play especially the 4th, 6th and 18th over ravines. Course generous and fairways in great condition, but the greens, having recently been worked on, were terrible and the only down side, apart from the bar closing at 4.30pm. Very enjoyable overall.

(Round played: Sep 2020 - Score: 91 Handicap: 16.3)

I played Whitby golf club on 28th January and found it to be in great condition for the time of year. The club being a bit unorthodox to what I am used to is a breath of fresh air, this is how golf clubs should be. As far as value for money is concerned it's the best green fees I've ever paid and will most definitely play again when I am up that way. Highly recommend a visit if ever you are in the area.

Nice little course

Compact course that makes benefit of the surrounding terrain well, including a couple of drives over a ravine.
