Golf

Whitby Golf Club

Located adjacent to the Raithwaite Estate on the cliff top overlooking the North Sea stands Whitby Golf Club. The club stands in a commanding position mid way between Whitby and Sandsend and offers breathtaking views from every hole of both land and sea. North-westward over the picturesque bay of Sandsend, South-eastward over Whitby harbour with the Abbey ruins set majestically overlooking the town and inland over the rolling panorama of the North Yorkshire Moors.

Whitby offers the ultimate golfing challenge in beautiful surroundings with some unusual challenges but is also perfect for the moderate player with a kind wind. 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 is often decided by the prevailing wind which may come from the North Sea or the North Yorkshire Moors.
