Scarborough South Cliff Golf Club
Played On 09/09/2014Wide-boy pro shop staff, with poor attitude towards bargain hunting visitors!
Customer facing, Pro shop staff, clearly in the wrong job.. Attitude to visitors was really poor, and they seem to hold the fact you use a golf deal website like Golfnow against you as opposed to paying their inflated visitor fee direct to them!
Also had issues before when trying to use 241 vouchers, they take them, but don't actually allow two golfers to play for one day rate greenfee!
Bizarrely they have problems understanding how that particular scheme works in practice!
Unfriendly, unhelpful, curt, and bordering on rude!
Course layout is actually quite good, conditions sadly not so great.. Facilities are decent enough, nice clubhouse, and staff inside a level or two above those in the pro shop, although we waited over 20 minutes to get a drink, whilst the solitary bar staff was away changing a barrel!
Two new holes once you come back over the main road, are a reall let down compared with the rest of the course, with the look, and feel being out of place, best holes are the the last four or five into the clubhouse!
Go play Filey or North Cliff instead, both are a cut above!
Pannal Golf Club
Played On 07/30/2014Nice Layout, but poor condition!
Nice layout to be found here, with good variety of holes..
Back nine plays a little tougher than front.. Two of the last three holes were standouts! Par threes are all worthy of note..
Sadly we played during one of the courses maintenance weeks (end of July)
Unlike the clubs own online booking system, the Golf Now booking system did not highlight this, so better to call ahead to check your planned visit doesn't clash with this..
The condition of the course was not what we hoped, the greens in particular were all cored and in some cases completely covered in sand..
All that said, a fantastic gesture was made by the managing secretary in extending courtesy of the course for a future date, to play when course conditions return to normal.
A brilliant gesture, and we left looking forward to our return!
