Low Straggleton, Sandsend Road, Whitby, North Yorkshire, YO21 3SR
Perched high above the sea between Whitby and Sandsend, Whitby Golf Club (established 1892, relocated to its current cliff-top site 1895) offers an 18-hole course framed by breathtaking views of Whitby Abbey, the North York Moors, and the dramatic coastline to Kettleness.
Though not overly lengthy, the course presents a thoughtful test: precision is rewarded, especially across challenging holes like the 6th and 18th which cross the Upgang Ravine, and the coastal winds can turn a calm round into a memorable one.
The club boasts a welcoming clubhouse with bar, lounge and dining offered by The Willow Branch, plus practice areas and friendly hospitality for both individuals and groups. It’s accessible from York, Scarborough and beyond—making it a perfect day out for holidaymakers or serious golfers alike.
