Whitley bay

Really nice course. Fantastically presented, tees, greens, walkways excellent. All holes have their own unique identity. You need to be pretty straight off the tee, and plot your way around, it's not all about length.

Quality

Having played many courses in this area , I have to say this was the best. The quality of fairways, fringes,bunkers and greens was evident from first hole.

They have utilised the natural land to produce some stunning holes.

Hidden Gem

Never played this course before, I have been a Gosforth member last year, and the courses are world's apart, I thoroughly enjoyed playing here on my own, met some excellent members who were polite, let me play through, a great atmosphere, thank you for the opportunity, I would consider a membership after this round, there was a little loose grass around and I didn't use any other facilities hence the 4 rating for these

Tough but enjoyable

A very good course, weather wasn't the best but still enjoyed the round. Rated high on value due to hot deal on Golf Now. As a novice I'm not sure I'd be paying full whack but at the great deal price we got I'd definitely be going back. I expect the course will be perfect on a nice summers day.

Impressive

First impression, staff in pro shop extremely welcoming.

Course in great condition and very enjoyable to play. One slight suggestion, I must have repaired 20-30 pitch marks during my round. Perhaps the club could push for people to be more respectful, a great course like this deserves great greens.

Fantastic golf course

Played Whitley Bay for the first time on Monday 27th March and received a warm welcome from the club pro who explained where the practice facilities were and how to get to the first tee.

The condition of the course for this time of year was outstanding and the layout was fantastic with some outstanding holes particularly on the back nine.This is a must play course and I will definitely return soon.
