Stunning views

This is a very nice course to play with the added bonus of some great views of the Yorkshire coast and Scarborough. Once you cross over the road there are some lovely holes. The 5th tee has terrific views from an elevated position. This inspired me to play some lovely golf on these coastal holes.

Scarborough South Cliff GC is a lovely and challenging course.

However, we were told on arrival that the Golf Club had no benefits from us booking via Golf Now and it would be cheaper to book direct with the Golf Club.

A few days after playing our round, Golf Now were advertising Scarborough South at £18 pp per round much to our annoyance.

I would be very reluctant to book with Golf Now in the future.

refreshing good to play a sociable course.

Last played Scarborough South Cliff about 10 years ago, not disappointed on our rather belayed return. Although the greens are a bit fluffy & sluggish (only to be expected this time of year, February) course was in good condition, slightly moist underfoot in a few areas (and they are just a few). Still strange crossing the main road for the "Links part, proper link conditions as well, wind was blowing good and strong, sun was shining bright, company was good. Pro-Shop staff are excellent, friendly people from Pro, to bar staff, members old and new talked and made you feel welcome. Some great views. definitely worth a visit. So nice to play a game of golf at the correct pace, not many clubs control that these days.

Great Course

Played this course a number of times now, I always look forward to a round at Scarborough South cliff. All the holes are interesting, the course has always been in great condition. The holes along the cliff have fabulous views. Happy to return anytime.
