Macdonald Linden Hall Golf & Country Club

On the day i played the course, the fairways and greens were a little woolly and could have done with a trim. the bunkers need attention, far too many and far too big to start with, some are already gur. if all the above could be returned to a good standard this course would be a top pick, the par 3’s are magnificent and the par 5 double dog leg certainly makes you think. i met up with a couple of new members and i believe there’s been an influx of some 400 new members hopefully this can be invested into the course maintenance.

Another round here at Linden, weather was great, but breezy. After such a hot dry spell expected greens to be much faster than they were, slow and needed a cut. Layout of course is great, but quite a few bunkers were GUR

Always a great course to play, just a shame re speed of greens.

Decent course layout with good scenery, play was very slow, greens not the best

Played this course plenty of times and the layout and surroundings are great. Unfortunately let down by condition. Greens long, slow and bobbly. Fairways look like they haven’t been cut in a month. Bunkers mainly GUR. Shake as the potential has always been there with linden. I know they have minimal ground staff which doesn’t help, but condition isn’t great at all

Booked via golf now as an extra course on our way back from a golf trip in Northumberland. Didn't know what to expect as it was relatively cheap. I was really impressed by the course layout and the interesting holes , especially the par 3's and 5's. If a little more time and effort was spent on the upkeep of the course especially the fairways and bunkers this would be a must play course if you are in the area. As it was it was a very enjoyable round and good value for money

Very disappointed, had heard good things.

Place looked scruffy

Practice green was terrible, practice net had no net

A lot of damaged on the so called USPGA standard greens.

Tee boxes were very scrappy and poorly cut.

And the members we were playing behind were intensely slow and incredibly rude.

Wouldn’t play there again.

Course was in great condition but the pace of play made it impossible to enjoy. It took us 4.5hrs to get thru 13 holes and at that point we walked off. Each tee was backed up and we were waiting over 10 minutes to tee off on every hole. If the pace of play was better I’d definitely recommend playing here. If it’s as slow as it was all the time then I’d steer clear.

Course in great condition greens excellent bunkers need a bit of attention

Just finished my (half) round. Felt bullied by both players and staff to leave early. As someone with a clearly visible disability being told we would have to speed up our play or leave made me feel like giveing up the game I love. We had already let 4 parties play through on nine holes as I am aware my play can be slow. To be told by the 5th group behind us they could get us kicked out as they were members and to have someone who identified as a member of staff tell us the same was discusting. I would be expecting a refund based on this behaviour

Played the course again for the second time. To be fair the last time we played it was deep in the winter between christmas and new year last year. This game was different again. For the time of year and weather we found the course to be really good.

The bunkers could have be manicured better but I thought the course was in really good condition. The greens run fair and true so was happy to be on them. The pace of play was very slow in front of us which left us with a pair standing behind us on the Tee on most holes.

All in all a great course with an enjoyable layout for a great price.. if I lived anywhere near i really could see it being my membership choice!!

A glorious March day spent on a very high calibre course with every hole of the highest quality and set up.

Some fantastic par 3’s and very well designed layout.

Beautiful countryside sets this apart from other courses.

Improvement needed in pathways and a few of the larger bunkers, but the historic championship quality of this course still makes it great value and thoroughly recommended.

The course was playing all of its length due to how wet it was. It was still in good condition considering how much rain there has been recently, a lot of the tees have been moved forward.

Greens were ok for the time of year.

Par 3's are great and really make the course. Excellent for a group outing.

Another great day out , arrived early explained my playing partner had broken down and would be late , no problem just let me know when he arrives , got away 45 minutes late , course in good condition , weather rain wind sunshine, the lady in the pro shop very helpful, golf was the winner afain .
