Piperdam Golf & Leisure Resort - New Course

Had a great experience on this course would definitely come back and staff are very friendly and very helpful and welcoming to all

Really friendly staff at check in, a stress free round, no hold ups and a good challenging course

Compare to even two years ago quality of the course has rapidly deteriorated I’m afraid. All bunkers GUR, weeds growing in them. Greens are patchy, bumpy, hairy and diseased looking. Signage to help with course layout non existent. Tee boxes uneven and scrappy. Feel sorry for member. Come on owners make it right with some investment.

I usually travel from Aberdeen and my dad from Glasgow to play at a halfway point. Unfortunately the worst greens I’ve experienced in a long time. Heavily sanded with likely diseased parts that render putts impossible to judge. Gouges 3-5mm deep all over (see images). Virtually all bunkers are full of stones and should be GUR.

Otherwise, tee boxes are fine, fairways quite good.

No info about the course state from staff or online.

We spontaneously chose Piperdam because we were in the area! After reading the many negative reviews, our expectations weren't high. However, the welcome was very friendly, and the course proved to be extremely varied and in good condition. The greens weren't visually perfect, but they reliably got our putts in the hole! For this price, we've rarely played a nicer course!

Tees and greens in a terrible state very much in need of water and with a big lake in the middle of the course not much excuse

A nice course. Good parkland surroundings. Could be better maintained in terms of boundary fences and markers etc but absolutely fine for the price point.

Google maps directed to barn. Golf pro is at the main building.

Facilities were very good and staff were excellent.

I enjoyed playing the course very much. Only problems were on 13th and 14th which will be fixed shortly when new drainage is completed.

All in all, great value and very enjoyable.

Fantastic layout for a golf course. Lots of tricky holes on it. Beautiful views across the lake.

Good use of your longer clubs are required on this course. American guy in the starter box is very friendly and helpful.

Challenging course for the occasional golfer.

1st time playing, lessons learned for future rounds will pay dividends.

1st hole, par 3 over water is a great opening hole, likely more golf balls in the water than in every rough on Course......added 1 myself 🤣

Will play again.

Its a lovely little course and can be very tricky if you are not stright off the tee. Lots of water holes where you need to be accurate. Definitely worth a visit especially when the sunshine is out 🌞

Booked a round, very low cost

Arrived and all seemed good, small pro shop with a very pleasant chap, weekend rounds won’t ever be smooth so knew there might be some hold up’s, but:

Went to what is a shortened tee, again sadly these bits of information are lacking in golf now bookings

Two balls around and a few three’s had gone, watched the two in front of me skull tee shots on the short par 3 into the water and again with reload so my heart and head sank

They eventually finished the hole and I played over, at the point I was walking as slow as possible taking in the quite nice surrounds, and the hovered to let them get away

Played the second after waiting for ages for a bell that never came and caught them again on the third, only to see why - was six or seven other groups of 2/3 golfers spread over 4/5 holes all because a 3 ball of lads in tracksuits and sports direct clubs hunting for their 150 yard drive, was clear it was them and would have a knock on effect

It’s the sort of course that sadly a tracksuit seems ok to hack about in and lacks some finer details

Waited on every single hole for plenty of time, if it was a comp day and rammed with four balls I’d be all good with that

But it wasn’t

And as for the greens! If I went and got my car and drove it around on them I don’t think I’d be able to tell where I’d been

Good they are open as a target but they are appauling to use, bobble bobble jump jump

Bunkers have seen better days about twenty years ago

Course itself is find, but it’s really just a token effort course and certainly not for a golfer of any reasonable standard

Great course layout. The shop allowed me to tee off early. Unfortunately, the greens were in a bad state with disease on all the greens removing any true putts. Apart from this, I would play it again as its a good test of golf planning.
