Scarborough South Cliff Golf Club

First time playing Scarborough South Cliff and what a day, managed to get there early for coffee and sandwiches then we were told that we could tee off earlier as no one was booked before us.

The course is in great condition and the coastal holes are wonderful with views of Scarbourough and further down the Coast.

The Pro shop is well equipped and the staff were on top form.

Overall a great day and a must play for all handicaps.

Just remember though this is on the coast so be prepared for the weather to change anytime.

The views from the middle holes on the coast are stunning. Friendly staff, fast play, greens and fairways in ver good shape. Lots of uphill / downhill / side hill lies, but such is golf along the coast.

Lovely course, lots of interesting holes and greens. Excellent condition. Lovely staff in pro shop and bar too! Highly recommended

We played at 6pm so unable to comment on facilities but the course itself was superb. Members were very friendly too. There was a matchplay medal on and they were still more than happy to allow us to play through. Greens were in excellent condition. Only downside which isn’t a reflection on the club is at places the course can be unforgiving if you don’t know the layout. I feel a second round would have had my score better just with course management.

Love playing here even though it’s a 2 hour drive. Course was in lovely condition. The greens were a little slower than usual but we’ve had a few days of rain prior. Good after the round was lovely and the bar staff and pro were great as usual.

Cracking course as always, fantastic condition, quality greens, loved it! Can’t wait to come again in September for the golf week!

1st time me and my freind have played the course excellent views. Greens were brilliant will defiantly be going there again. Staff very friendly and helpful keep up the good work .

The full course was in excellent condition and the view from the 5th tee was amazing

First time playing here and loved every minute of it. Course looked fantastic, greens were amazing, the views were breathtaking. Member were really friendly, the staff even more so. Definitely booking again very soon.

Course was challenging particularly by the sea. In good condition, every hole different.

Pro shop and clubhouse were very hospitable, thanks to the steward Jason for his hospitality. If you go try the roast potatoes, tasty.

Played on the 26th of March and it’s up there amongst the slowest rounds I’ve ever played, granted we were a two ball and expected a bit of waiting but not on every shot and nearly 4hrs 50 to get round. There were 12 in a society but they finished teeing off whilst we were having breakfast, they backed the course up. We saw them on one hole with nobody in front of them for at least two holes and they were walking like they had their shoelaces tied together and it wasn’t a day to be out there forever.

The course: It was disappointing to find out we were going to have to use fairway mats or go 90 degrees and play from the rough, we did both but we’ve never seen as many divots not replaced on a course and not just in the rough so obviously some didn’t bother with the mats. There were also numerous pitch marks not repaired, some people just don’t care. The greens were ok tbh, slow but we expected that. There were a couple of nice holes and we preferred the holes on the clubhouse side of the road to the ones on the sea side.

We only paid £16.99 so it wasn’t too bad a deal but if id paid the £32.99 that it was originally I wouldn’t have been happy.

The clubhouse, pros shop and the staff were great and the breakfast was lovely.

Would we go back, no but it’s not the worst course we’ve played, maybe not off fairway mats and on proper tees in summer then it will be a different proposition but I’m afraid I won’t be trying it again.

Worth the visit, brilliant views, brilliant holes, and on all green in February

The first time I have ever carried a fairway mat with me for a whole round, a restriction to protect the fairways. You could have the option of placing any fairway lies into the semi. Fairways actually looked in good condition although the whole course was muddy. Greens were great and fast and true even though the course was wet. Windy day that affected the 7 cliff side holes, layout reasonably interesting. Mats on all the tees but still very good value for money. Everyone very friendly.

Arrived at the course to find I'd booked the wrong day, but thanks to great customer service by Sean in the Pro Shop, we were able to play at the time we booked.

The course was in good shape, nice fairways and tricky greens made more difficult by the very strong wind. A slight disappointment were the bunkers, which were compacted by recent rain.

The course was very quiet, we only saw about four other groups.

We did not try the clubhouse but would love to return and play in better weather.
