Very enjoyable seaside course

Headland course with a links vibe. Turf in very good condition and greens excellent. Nice members and welcome in clubhouse by staff. What's not to like for £30. Very good value.

Great course

Ideal for my 13yr old son and I, we are relatively new to golf. So we thought it was good, excellent views and wide fairways are perfect for us

Poor condition

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

Decent value but

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.

Good value

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 .
