uly 27th 1894 marks the beginning of Saltburn-by-the-Sea Golf club. It states that there was a well-attended meeting at the Zetland Hotel in Saltburn on Thursday July 19th and that it was decided to form a golf club and to invite the Marquis of Zetland to become the patron. The course was then of 9 holes and was situated on the West Cliff, ten minutes walk from the town. The ground was on the aptly named Windy Hill Farm and is in the area known locally as Agars Gap. All traces of the Club House, the tees and greens have long since disappeared as erosion is extremely active on the low soft clay cliffs.
