Whitby Golf Club
Whitby Golf Club
is situated on the western side of the town on the road to the pretty coastal
village of Sandsend and has a commanding position on the edge of the cliffs.
There are wonderful views along the coast, north-westward over the picturesque
bay of Sandsend to Kettleness, south-eastward over the harbour with the
Abbey Ruins set in relief and inland over the rolling panorama of the North
Yorks Moors. It is the ideal type of holiday course, not too long or difficult
for the moderate player provided a reasonable degree of accuracy is achieved.
"Wild hitters" can be severely punished, as some of the hazards are quite
unusual. The most striking is the wild cleft in the Cliffs known as "Upgang
Ravine" which has to be driven when playing the 6th and 18th holes The degree
of driving difficulty on many an occasion is decided by the prevailing wind
which may come from either the North Sea or the moors.
