Filey Golf Club

Seaside golf doesn't get much better than this clifftop course that rolls right up to the edge of North Yorkshire's dramatic coastline. The 18-hole course sits on elevated ground overlooking Filey Bay, where the winds can be proper challenging and the views absolutely stunning on a clear day. You'll find yourself pausing between shots just to take in the sweep of coastline stretching towards Bempton and Bridlington.

Golfers of all standards will find something here, though the coastal winds mean your usual handicap might take a beating. The course isn't overly long but the seaside conditions add plenty of character - and challenge. Local knowledge definitely helps when the breeze gets up.

What makes this place special is the setting rather than championship-level facilities. It's well-maintained but unpretentious, the sort of course where you come for the location as much as the golf. Expect to pay green fees, though prices are reasonable compared to some Yorkshire coastal courses.

If you're staying at any of the nearby holiday parks like Haven's Primrose Valley or Blue Dolphin, this makes a cracking day out for keen golfers. The course sits perfectly positioned between Filey town centre and the major holiday park cluster, so it's an easy addition to a Yorkshire coast break. Allow a good four hours for a round, especially if the weather's playing up.
