Golfing in the mist

Great course and excellent friendly welcome on a busy hot Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately literally as we Tee d off sea mist rolled in .

Around half the homes were played without a clue as to the green position never mind the pin .

Great course tho and worth a visit especially if booked as a hot deal . Absolute bargain for a great track .

Hidden Gem!

Hidden gem outside Newcastle’s centre. I’ve played there a couple of times now, always managed to get a friendly member to take me around and mark my card. The 12th hole is Epic!

Great golf but not friendly

Course was lovely. A bit dry but that’s to be expected. The members however were very unfriendly. They spoiled what could have been a lovely day. Staff were great.

Whitley Bay on a lovely day--been 25yrs since i played this course. Layla Levy the secretary was as lovely as ever and a delight to see again-, thankyou. Fairways --hard but cut short--greens--very good /fast /true---thankyou Martin. Theres been a few changes on the course --bridges OOB and some of the fairways have been smoothed out but easy walking . The clubhouse hasnt changed--good selection of beers / food ----all in all --a good day out and extremely good value.
