Every year we treat ourselvess to a trip to a coastal golf course in the east coast, this year we chose Scarborough South Cliff and what a lovely course it is, part parkland and part links it’s the best of both worlds, friendly staff and members who were happy to chat and were justly very proud of their course.

We were meant to be playing Flamborough on this day but there were no tee times available so we chose this course and we were delighted we did, perfect weather, perfect course and a perfect day out, You hear the phrase “hidden gem” too often when reading reviews but this course is a proper diamond and we have vowed to visit again in the near future, and that means over a 90 mins drive for me, and i’d do it every week, a lovely experience whichi heartily reccimmend!

This was my 3rd visit, played this hilly course in 26c with 2 friends, all were suffering on the 18th fairway but once again thoroughly enjoyed this demanding course which as always, was in great condition. One of my favourite places to play, especially on the rare days of beautiful sun high on the moors above halifax

We’ve been looking forward to playing this course for a while and we weren’t disappointed, it was a perfect warm breezy day to tackle this links course and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience from the bacon butties to the undulating greens and tricky green side bunkers

Nit sure about the recent history, but three temporary greens were in play and the rest of the greens were in poor condition, now this could be down to greenstaff being furloughed and if so, i apologise, the bunkers were empty and in extremely poor too

After the recent weeks of heavy rain we were expecting to find the course in average condition and greens that were needing some attention, but let me tell you we couldn’t have been further from the truth. The course and greens were perfect, the bunkers were raked and filled with fresh sand. The course was in that good a condition i was compelled to put my head inside the pro shop just to pay my compliments to the greenstaff for their work, give it a go!

Myself and a friend played this course yesterday and found it a fantastic experience, wonderful scenery and challenging holes on a course in brilliant condition when other local courses were boggy after recent rain. Members were helpful and polite and we made decent pace despite a medal compitition being held around us. If you’re a fan of heathland golf you must try this course!
