About The Area
Whitley Bay is a brilliant choice for golfers who want a UK golf holiday with sea air, relaxed coastal charm and easy access to Newcastle. Set on the North Tyneside coast, it gives you golden beaches, a proper seaside feel and plenty to enjoy between rounds. Whitley Bay Beach is a Blue Flag award-winning stretch of sand running towards St Mary’s Lighthouse, making it ideal for long walks after golf.
The main local course is Whitley Bay Golf Club, set at the north-east corner of the town. The course enjoys views towards the coast and St Mary’s Lighthouse, with rolling fields around it, giving golfers a scenic but very playable North East round. The club also highlights its location just 25 minutes from Newcastle upon Tyne, which makes Whitley Bay a handy base for a golf break with city add-ons.
Away from the fairways, Whitley Bay has plenty of classic seaside appeal. St Mary’s Lighthouse sits on a small tidal island, reached by a short path when the tide allows, while the coastal walk links St Mary’s Island, Whitley Bay, Cullercoats, Tynemouth Priory and North Shields Fish Quay.
For UK golfers, Whitley Bay works well as a tailor-made North East golf break, either on its own or combined with Tynemouth, Newcastle and the wider Northumberland coast. Hashtag Golf Travel can help plan the right courses, hotels, transfers and local extras.
