Bridlington Golf Club

Perched above Bridlington's seafront, this golf course offers one of Yorkshire's more dramatic coastal rounds. The clifftop location means you're playing with the North Sea as your backdrop on several holes - though the coastal winds can turn what looks like an easy approach shot into a real test of skill.

It's a proper links-style course that doesn't mollycoddle beginners. The terrain rolls and dips in classic seaside fashion, and when the weather turns, you'll know about it. That said, the views across Bridlington Bay on a clear day make even a poor round worthwhile.

Families staying at nearby South Cliff Holiday Park or South Shore Holiday Park will find this a decent option for golfing parents wanting a break from beach activities. The course sits practically on their doorstep - you could walk there from South Cliff in ten minutes. More serious golfers should allow a full morning or afternoon, particularly if the wind's up.

What sets it apart from inland courses is the ever-changing coastal conditions. One day you're playing in shirt sleeves, the next you're battling sideways rain. It's challenging rather than championship standard, but the setting more than compensates. Those staying at Parkdean's Barmston Beach or Flamborough Glamping will find it worth the short drive - especially if they fancy something different from the usual seaside attractions.
