The golf club is situated at the North East Corner of the ever popular seaside resort and town of Whitley Bay. The course is surrounded to the North and West by rolling fields with views to the east of the coast and Whitley Bay Lighthouse and visitor centre. The course is widely regarded as one of the finest and often challenging courses of the North East Area due to its undulating fairways with a dene running through that requires a good drive and carry to successfully negotiate it on several of the holes.
