Love this course

This is the fourth time I’ve played here and everything I simply love it 😊 the course is in fantastic condition, tee boxes all nice and not smashed up, fairways well cut, bunkers all very nice and all with rakes. So stunning the views around the cliff holes, challenging holes, green all amazing and run true.

Clubhouse very nice with a beautiful elevated terrace where you can sit and enjoy a pint after your round looking out to the sea.

Cannot recommend this course enough, you will not be disappointed 👍

This course is in excellent condition

A brilliant golf course that is in great condition the two times I have played it (March and September). We did get blown away today and it rained really heavily but the course held up brilliantly. Can’t compliment it enough.

Whitsand bay golf club

Superb cliff top views with some very tricky holes along the coast line , worth playing just for the views. Not a long course but very tricky with the wind and tight small greens.

Beautiful views and challenging on a windy day

Really enjoyed playing Whitsand Bay. Pace of play was good and around in just over 3 hours as a two ball.

Several good holes with great views of the coastline.

It was a windy day which made it challenging but good fun.

Pity the 18th tee was a in poor condition but overall the course was ok and great value for money.

Stunning setting. Terrible tee-boxes and greens.

This is the second time I’ve played here and the tee boxes and greens are awful. Most of the “greens” have been lost , very sandy and cored , but for this time of year , on a links course that probably gets plenty rain, the greens were diabolical. The fairways were decent enough, but the attention to detail around the greens were also poor, especially for a links course, where the areas around the greens need to be good.

Well presented challenging course

It's been about 10 years since I last played here. The course hasn't changed a bit but it has been well maintained. I played three courses this week and Whitsand was by far the best kept and best presented. The rough is unforgiving and many slopes drift treacherously towards the sea making it a challenging course but the views are spectacular. I won't be leaving it another decade before I'm back.

Enjoyably quirky. Great views

Play this course! Great value for money, quite hilly so be prepared. Some lovely holes playing along the cliff edge, with all the uncertainty that this brings to golfers, but the views are spectacular(and this was end December. I imagine even better in Spring). Greens in good condition, undulating, multi-level, quite quirky & fun.

There is a small clubhouse & proshop. Very welcoming manager. Sausage bap was excellent, a meal in itself.

We arrived via the Torpoint ferry from Plymouth, to start the day with some intrigue. It continued on the golf course ;-)

We'll be back.

Brilliant but challenging

What a brilliant course this is. Each hole offers a new challenge with the slight wind adding that bit extra and love the nice treat of a 200 yard par 3 finish from way up above the green. Is a bit of a challenging walk but would definitely reccomend and will definitely be back

Whitland bay

Absolutely fantastic course, not the longest and a little forgiving for the intermediate golfer like myself. Scenery is absolutely incredible, looking out over the bay. Really enjoyed the round and will definitely be back. The staff was very helpful and the members were very friendly also. Great place, I don't think you could possibly not enjoy a round of golf here. Thank you
