Woll Golf Course
About
Woll offers a testing and very enjoyable round over a eighteen hole course of outstanding natural beauty. The par 70 parkland course follows the gentle contours of the Ale valley and is surrounded by mature trees. The Woll burn comes into play on a number of holes as does the pond at the aptly named Pond hole. Situated on the natural valley bottom the sub soil is sand and gravel ensuring the course drains very well and is playable all year round. It is kept to the highest standard to make your game enjoyable.
Two holes which will demand your attention are the 6th, The Island, and the 8th, The Thief's Road. The Island is a short par 4 which has a right angle dog leg at about 210 yards and then requires a shot over the Woll burn to the green which is only a wedge away if you put your tee shot in the right place. The Thief's Road also dog legs to the right, but at 571 yards it needs three well struck shots to get home.
The course makes an enjoyable outing for golfers of all capabilities and all are welcome. The terrain is very gentle and there is an abundance of wildlife in the valley.

Two good mates enjoying a days golf
Weather was good, course was in very good condition. Greens were a challenge ran true, enjoyed our day visiting another course in the Boarders. Not long but a good test of golf a thinking man’s course! Position off the tee is the key to get the best angles into the greens. The only criticism would be the bunkers could do with some more sand. Overall an excellent days golf with good company as always, we will be back again sooner rather than later.
worth the trip
played Woll for the second time as some local knowledge is invaluable, when I played it the first time I thought what a great hole but if I come back I,l play it differently on a lot of the holes so I did and enjoyed it even more, only slight flaw was bunkers could do with a bit more sand in them, but minor fault, well worth travelling to.
Good condition
Course in very good condition considering the recent weather
Cracking course
We have played Woll over the last 15 years and the course is in the best condition I've ever seen it in. Well worth a visit
The Woll review
I hadn't played the course for around five years, and I have to say I was thoroughly impressed. All aspects of the course ticked the box in my opinion. The tees, fairways and greens were in fantastic condition, and the entire course was in a very tidy condition. The whole course is maturing well and the layout is an enjoyable walk.
Great
Played end January course was still dry and firm greens had been micro tined but still firm and great to put on
Frozen but still great.
Me and a friend drove up from Newcastle to play, the course is really nice layout and the scenery is stunning. The ground was frozen solid so it wasn’t the easiest, especially the greens. But was a great day out all the same. A shame the bar wasn’t open for food and drinks would be my only gripe.
Well worth the visit
Recommend by a short handicap golfer this course did not disappoint. Received a good welcome.Varied holes set in a beautiful valley to the south of Selkirk. Greens had a steady pace and course in fine condition..
Well worth playing
Borders hidden gem

Can't wait to return.
