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 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.

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.

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 I think if the course had some investment would be ok plus the outdated facilities need looking at.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.

Enjoyed the course but disappointing customer service
Came to Cornwall for a weekend away and played twice at this beautiful course, challenging but with stunning views. Overall had a good experience with the golf course and club house, unfortunately was spoiled slightly when wanting to return an unused item to the club shop, and was told it ‘wasn’t the done thing’ and made to feel very uncomfortable. Considering we had already spent £200 here this weekend we would have hoped for more understanding. We were planning to stay for lunch but sadly did not feel comfortable enough to stay. It is a shame as overall we thoroughly enjoyed the course but unsure if we would return again.Reviewer Rating

Links course, very nice and playable any time of the year! Very friendly staff. When windy it is a real challenge, on calm days good scoring is possible.

Not on a windy day!!
Certainly worth a visit but not on a windy day as I did. Took about 5 holes to be able to play the wind coming off the sea. Had a warm welcome from the bar staff and a few locals. Course not busy on a Monday in June, might be a different story in the school holidays. The course is a challenge with some small greens which are in excellent condition. Glad I played it not sure if I will return after being beaten up by the weather.Reviewer Rating

Good Course
I have only played the course once and i really enjoyed it. Tough par three's especially off the whites. Looks like a fair bit of work going on. The bar is in a terrapin but it works really well and San Miguel happy days.Reviewer Rating
