Coastal stunner

Super course. Excellent mixture of parkland and cliff top holes. Views from the holes along the coast are stunning. Course has generous fairways and very good greens.

Nice friendly club, great course

Visited South cliffs good club on 28/6/21. Booked through golf now so were paired up with 2 nice guys from Scotland. The course was in great condition, the pro shop and bar were really friendly and helpful. Was value for money and a great day out. The course was quite easy as no wind at all. But can imagine some of the cliff top holes will be a lot harder with a good sea breeze blowing in. All in all would play again any time. And would recommend.

Pleasure to play

Wonderful variety of holes, visually stunning, potential for a good score but pitfalls at every turn. Will be returning for South cliff Open.

Spectacular

Course starts nicely typical parkland set up in great condition. Cross over the road into a golfing spectacular of views and hole layouts next to the cliffs.We played on a benign day which was perfect -it would be a real test of ball striking if windy !
Really worth a visit - an all round fantastic course .

Great Course

Fantastic course for the price, the 4th - 7th hole on the cliff tops are absolutely brilliant. I can imagine them being really challenging when the weather rolls in.

Course In Great condition when you consider the recent adverse weather and Covid implications.

First outing after lockdown

Always love playing this course, many varied holes and challenges. Greens were a little bumpy today but I expect they haven’t been able to get the attention they deserve. All in all the course is in great condition.

Will definitely return

Really Poor

Last day before lockdown, clear blue skies, no wind. Booked on the GolfNow app, no issues, but when we got there they said 1x temp green, 2x holes closed, 1x par 5 shortened to 200 yards... annoyed, we headed to the first tee... turns out also the greens had been slit and were like WW1 battlefields, totally unplayable. Still, at least the weather and company was great.

Lack of information

The ground staff where working on the greens when I arrived but the staff didn't inform me of this and this spoilt the round as the majority of greens were on temps.
If I had known this l would have booked a different day.
