Whitley Bay Golf Club

Booked a 2 ball, was randomly joined by another 2 ball the club booked us with.

Members snooty, unwelcoming.

Pace of play was excruciatingly slow- grid locked tees. Took 2.5hrs to play 7 holes

Walked off

Played the course 40 years ago, its improved drastically, greens were in great condition and overall one of the best courses in the area

Always a delight to play this course, one of my favourites locally. Great condition all round.

Lovely course and layout, would recommend to anyone if in the area as a must visit!

We enjoyed our round the course was in excellent conat dition the only down side we payed 80 pound for 2 players at 17.08 we just made it by the last 3 holes the light was starting to fade. just a bit expensive for that time of day.

One of the slowest rounds ever. Even though there was 1 one ball ahead of me and I paired up with someone behind. It took me nearly 3 hours ok the front 9. Ended up walking off. Should have known my fate when I couldn’t get parked. Nice course but the practice area goes into some holes which was not for me.

Course is exceptional. Tucked away from the busy sea front, this undulating course provides an incredible challenge to all abilities.

The hard fast greens make the short game just as important as the long.

What a brilliant app this is, golf at very cheap prices at most courses

There was no notification that green works were being carried out when booking and wasn’t told in the shop. So it was a bit disappointing to find out when I was 2/3s of the way up the first hole but other than that it is a brilliant course and a real challenge.

As always Whitley Bay proved to be a tough test with driving accuracy key on lots of holes. The tee boxes and fairways were in excellent condition but was surprised to find every green had been top dressed and so all played slow and uneven making scoring difficult. The pace of play was a little slow despite lots of excellent signage around the course encouraging players to maintain their pace. Changes to the course since I last played here have made several holes play a little fairer with less chance of being penalised for a less than perfect drive. The pro shop was well stocked and the pro and green keeping staff were very courteous engaging with players and giving way promptly on fairways to allow groups to play through with little delay. Overall a good course and well worth a visit. The greens could have been better but maintenance has to happen and was a minor grumble.

Despite heavy rain on the day before we played (which had closed the course) it was in excellent condition. Greens were slick and true and were the best we have played on this year. A lot of attention has been given to the fairways and aprons in front of greens and overall the course was very tidy. The only area that wasn’t great were the bunkers but we were advised by the pro before our round that the bunkers had suffered the day before from the significant amount of rain that had fallen. Pace of play was a bit slow as there was a golf society playing in front of us but this didn’t deter us from enjoying the course. Didn’t have time to use the clubhouse facilities however the greeting we rec’d in the pro shop when checking in was friendly and welcoming.

Overall a good lay-out in excellent condition and definitely worth a visit. If I lived in the area I would definitely think about joining this club.

I took two friends to play Whitley Bay on Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed it!! I had played WBGC b fore but the guys who are relatively new to golf hadn't. The feedback from both of them was 'when we coming back?'.

Excellent condition for this time of year, great layout and really professional staff supporting th club.

I whole heartedly recommend playing at Whitley Bay!

We decided to play Whitlebay GC on the spur of the moment and altho it was raining when we set off, it meant the course was completely empty and it did dry up and we enjoyed a relaxing round of golf. Some members in the club house were very friendly as were the green staff at the end of the round.
