Whitburn Golf Club

Considering the past weather the course was in good nick were others mite of been shut or wet/muddy.

We love Whitburn and have played it many times. I rang the course the day before playing and was told that the course was in a better condition than was expected. However on arrival the fairways were horrendous and the greens were almost unplayable. I know the weather has been bad but I’d rather they’d told me that the course wasn’t in a great condition. We only paid £18 for the round but if I’d known how poor the conditions were I wouldn’t have played. When we came off there was a sign saying the course wasn’t closed and the pro shop was locked up. However Whitburn is a great course and I can’t to be too harsh because of one round in the winter. We will play again and can definitely recommend it but maybe not this time of year

But not all holes open. Not a problem if made aware beforehand. Green keepers need to get up earlier. One hole closed while hollow tining . Then annoying when they open it when I’ve bypassed.

Considering the recent rain the course had no standing water on it. Layout for visitors is always a little confusing, better signage and distance markers would help. Work being carried out on last 4 holes was not mentioned at all by the pro .

Loads of car park spaces,Pro shop had my score cards waiting for me with my name on!No problems using facilities.

Good layout on wide open course .Shot a good score and only lost one ball on 17th pond.

Great views all the way up to Newbiggen and down to Seaburn.All in all money well spent,recommend it!

It’s been a couple of years since I played Whitburn. Really enjoyed the game. Course was immaculate. Greens in lovely condition. All the members weee friendly and very welcoming.

From the moment we arrived, the staff at check-in were incredibly friendly and welcoming, setting a great tone for the day. The course itself was in excellent condition — fairways well kept and the greens beautifully maintained, offering a smooth and consistent roll throughout the round.

The par 3 holes were particularly enjoyable, with decent yardages that provided a fair challenge without being overly punishing. The weather was on our side too, which definitely added to the experience.

Pace of play was spot on — no long waits and everything flowed nicely. The only drawback was the layout of a few holes that cross paths, which meant we had to pause and wait to tee off at times for safety. It didn’t ruin the round, but it’s something to be mindful of.

The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the signature par 3 hole perched atop a hill. The views from the tee box were absolutely stunning, and the hole itself was a joy to play — a perfect blend of beauty and challenge.

Overall, a great day out on a well-maintained course with friendly staff and memorable moments. Would definitely recommend!

Year round playing course - always in immaculate condition with amazing greens - plenty of scoring holes and very forgiving but easy to ruin your score.

Course is always in great condition, the views from the 14th onwards are unmatched in the north east, staff are always friendly and it feels proper old school witch I like.

Perfect course for a nice chill round of golf, everyone was lovely around lovely open fairways with beautiful views on every hole

I’ve only played a few courses around this area but this is one of the better ones. Right on the coast with the last few holes spitting distance from the sea.

A nice change from my usual course,The greens were in especially great condition and were very challenging.

We'll start with the good points. Stunning scenery, staff and members in the clubhouse were very friendly and helpful. The course is in good condition given the dry summer we have had. Greens and especially bunkers were excellent, possibly the best bunkers we have ever experienced (and we've seen a few)! The last 5 hole stretch after you cross the road is up there with the best area you'll ever experience. Now the bad bit. We booked on in the morning for 4.00 as it was one of the few courses nearby that was quiet. When we turned up, it became apparent that it was fully booked. This can happen but unfortunately, showed that there are too many holes (the first 13) for the land that is there. Everything is too close from holes 3-13, other groups were criss-crossing fairways everywhere and some had a serious attitude problem. The lack of course etiquette was staggering. If you can battle through the first 13 holes, the last 5 (where some groups don't play) iare almost worth the visitors fee alone. We won't be back though, too many uncalled for 'double teapots', no calls of 'fore' and angry young men who need to grow up - we can all do that but some choose to take the higher ground.

Beautiful course with amazing views and some really cool holes such as hole 15/16/17.

However 3 groups were booked into the same time slot, creating a massive amount of traffic and we struggled to get round in a good time as a twosome.

Some holes fairways are confusing and there tends to be players left right and centre whether they’re on ur fairway or not.

Great playing experience though and the conditions were great. Pure greens

The weather was very windy, at times too windy to stand on the tee box. Overall a great course and good company from 2 young lads who had also booked on Golf now. will return again as we used to be members in 2022. Improved course layout from before.

Held up from first tee , tee boxes way too close to the greens , upstairs bar with a stair lift out of phenix nights , only to go to gents toilet to find someone had took a giant dump on the seat 😒

Excellent layout and condition

Only complaint would be crossing over in front of other players on certain tee boxes

Beautiful views.

Excellent course.

Lovely friendly staff throughout pro shop and clubhouse.

Great clubhouse and lovely food and drinks.

Challenging and fun greens, excellent condition.

Will return.
