Amazing views

First time playing South Cliff but will return in the summer. Maintenance week unfortunately so the greens were not the best but loved the course and hole layout. Lots of short/medium length dogleg par 4’s but all great. Would definitely recommend a round at South Cliff.

Scarborough south cliff

I played this course on the 21st of this month

.

It was first time me and two friends had played it got a great deal on golf now,on arriving the pro was really helpful giving all the information about the course , the staff in the club house were great and the breakfast buns were good.

The course itself is split into two halves playing the first three on a parkland course then having a fairly long walk over the road to play the next seven on a links course then back over the road to play the last eight.

All in all the course is good value for money and we would play it again

Great course and layout with spectacular views across to south bay but very slow play as we were following a large competition field of the slowest players I have ever seen especially as they were all using electric carts. Would be a joy to play at a reasonable pace and the price I paid was very reasonable. Will definitely visit again.

Wow!

First time playing at Scarborough South Cliff. Played Bridlington GC the day before so was looking for somewhere to match that, South Cliff definitely did!

It’s worth playing the course just for the views from the 4th and 5th holes. Unbelievably beautiful, especially in the lovely we got this past weekend!

All the staff in the bar and the shop looked after us and made sure our day was fantastic!

The course was difficult in places for our standard but didn’t take away from the enjoyment at all.

Will definitely hope to come back one day!

Wet

A great layout. Always enjoy the mix of parkland and semi links holes However never seenthe course in such wet condition. We are now in May and this is far from competition ready . A lot of bunkers need a lot of attention. .it was good value for the price, but would have been disappointed if we had yo pay the full asking price.
