Scarborough South Cliff Golf Club

Scarborough South Cliff Golf Course

Deepdale Avenue, Scarborough, North Yorkshire, YO11 2UE

South Cliff is a massively expansive seaside course with a difference. After the 3 opening parkland holes play is on the Cliff Top 100ft above the beach.

The course of the Scarborough South Cliff Golf Club falls into two parts, divided from one another by the main road from Scarborough to Filey. On the seaward side of the road lie the fourth to the eleventh holes. On the land-ward side the first three holes and the last seven are laid out along the bottom of a rolling valley stretching southwards into the hills and on the slope of the ridge to the East.

The greatest charm of the course is the glorious situation of the holes on the cliff, looking down on the South Bay and Scarborough Town on the one side and along the bold and rugged coastline towards Filey on the other. But the two parts of the course make a pleasant and piquant contrast and both provide some excellent golf.

The turf, even on the cliffs, is of the down-land rather than the seaside type and provides excellent lies for the fairway wood slots.

The Course remains true to the ideals of its architect Alistair 'Augusta' Mackenzie, there's little rough and few trees and though the greens are generous they are cunningly shaped to provide a challenge. At a shade over 6000 yards, Par 70, with five short holes, South Cliff is huge fun, not least on a summers day when the views are breathtaking and the holiday ambience unforgettable.
