Course Highlights
Whitburn's welcoming staff and well-maintained fairways consistently deliver strong value for visiting golfers. The stunning coastal views from the back holes, particularly the hilltop par 3, make for a truly memorable round.

Windy Whitburn

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.

Excellent layout and condition

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

First golf in Newcastle area

Beautiful golf course, almost a links profile, with good view and perspectives, even in a very windy ugly day. And even more beautiful the last wholes, close to the sea.

Won’t be back

One of the worst courses I’ve played…

Pros

Bunkers looked new and plenty sand.

Last 5 holes are nice but still issues that about to list below.

Dry course

Negatives

2 holes closed without any notice until colleting cards

Greens were a disgrace, dead patches, hump/bumps and uncut.

Fairways didn’t exist, hadn’t been cut, weeds and daisys all overs

I believe I counted 14 holes at least that crossed over another hole at some point, no definition of holes, hitting into or just by other tee markers.

Members unfriendly, jumping ahead without asking.

Facilities very old and dates

16 for price of 18

Greens being worked on and no winter green available. Told to move onto the next hole. Happy enough to take your money but only played 16.
