Lovely views
The course itself is lovely with some fantastic views of the coastline. There are some tricky rough patches and challenging bunkers but it is kept in an immaculate condition. The staff in the shop and in the bar were friendly and helpful and the facilities are everything you would expect and need.
The only downside of the day was the greenkeeper who was patrolling in a cart, he first approached to check we had proof of payment (3rd hole) and although we had he didnt seen too impressed that the person at reception had not given us an elastic band to tie a ticket to our bag, he kept grumbling about that. He then waited for us on the fairway 2 holes later (5th hole) and told us to speed up play as there was a competition starting and we shouldn't be slowing them down, no one was catching us up and the group behind us never had to wait on a tee box for us.
If you are worried about a competition not being able to have the course to itself then maybe don't let visitors book, we had paid for our round and didn't want to spoil it by having to rush and be hurried by a gent in a cart.
Overall the course is fantastic and I would play again but maybe on a day when they greenkeepers cart has a flat battery.
Great course, friendly members and staff
Me and a friend booked this course last minute today after seeing recent reviews. It was our first time and we will be back 100%.
The members were great, the ranger was on the ball, the course was immaculate and well laid out, the greens were challenging and the par 3 on the 16th is superb with stunning views. Can't wait to bring more friends back with us next time.
Upgraded and remodelled
This course has always been a dry well maintained course but they have recently remodelled the bottom holes 14 to 18 and the flow of the course has been greatly improved, the bunkers are a delight to play out of having all been refurbished with sand like talcum powder, the staff are very friendly and helpful and the other members are very welcoming
Impressive changes
Noticed some big improvements around the course. There are some big changes in and around the bunkers, raised faces and new soft white sands. Unfortunately when I played some of the bunkers had not been upgraded, if they had been, it would have been 5 stars (I’m sure next time it will be 5 stars). The greens were in very good condition and the new layout at the last few holes is better. Overall a nice course and clubhouse with nice friendly staff.
Not Good Value
Shame, but bad rain the night before had waterlogged the course.
My gripe is that only 13 holes were open but we visitors were still charged £30 full fee. The 13 holes that we were allowed to play were only just playable as most had vast areas of GUR due t maintenance. I think if I were the pro, I would of offered the visitors like us, a good discount or a maybe a voucher for a discounted or free return.
Whitburn Golf course
Booked at 7.10a.m. my birthday. Nobody on site to confirm booking, the cleaner told me best to wait on someone at reception. 8a.m, still no one. I tried to phone, but the phone didn't ring at there end. So im £25 out of pocket, I've messaged on there site, no answer. So, no instructions on what to do, no response in person or electronically. And im £25 down for the privilege. Needs sorted ASAP!
Nice views
Overall
5-6 winter greens, big machines digging new bunkers in the way, few holes you play across peoples holes bit dangerous but overall will be a nice course when finished
Bit hilly up and down, but last few holes over road had a special few and cliff tee off
Very disappointed
Such a shame to not know that there was multiple temp greens in play before we played. Wouldn’t have booked and most certainly wouldn’t have expected to pay the price we did!
Can’t wait for the course to be fully open though
Good Winter golf location
Excellent winter golf location good course conditions considering the recent rain fall. The club house made me a bacon sandwich it was after 10am which is good for January. Very friendly staff. I recommend it for great winter golf.
Course immaculate, members could be friendlier
Played this course today. Staff excellent as always. Course immaculate. We encountered some members who could do with being more friendly, especially where young golfers are concerned. We should be pushing youngsters along and encouraging them not putting them down and telling them to 'be quiet'.
Whitburn
Always like this course even when it's windy. The course is always in nice condition with lovely views over the sea.
