Torwoodlee Golf Club

I want to give this course no stars because I hated it. But that’s because I wasn’t good enough to play it. It was a bit muddy but the course was in as good a condition as it could be. There’s plenty of challenge and so great views. But so many hole are like climbing a mountain. It’s such as hard walk. Ball above and below feet on most holes. It looks short but plays long at times on the uphill holes. Bar was shut when we finished at 3ish on a Saturday. The course seemed very quiet. I wouldn’t want to put people off trying it as my playing partners all enjoyed it, but I won’t be back in a hurry.

Nice course in good conditions and nice layout and some tough holes

The course was in excellent condition and was a full 18 holes course would definitely play again

Just a wee bit muddy on the 4th& 5th holes

Apart from that we really enjoyed our round

Was pleasantly surprised with the condition and layout of this course. Greens have recently been cored but still very playable. We had the course to ourselves and enjoyed some quirky holes. Love to play this in summer

Played this course on Sunday in practice for the upcoming scrambles tournament. Genuinely lovely course with some nice challenging holes and some really nice holes, the hole down the hill is one of my favorite holes of any golf course I've played, a driveable par 4 that will punish people who try to hard and mess the drive up.

Our round was quite enjoyable until we got to the 14th. Suddenly what was a very quiet round looked now to be a very busy round, every hole from the 14th was packed, members were jumping on and playing the first 3 holes then heading to the 14th just to get a quick 8 or 9 holes. This absolutely ruined our experience, we were now stuck behind a 3 ball with a child who was just hacking away at the ball, I normally don't mind this but when they've jumped in front let us play through.. Needless to say they did not let us through. What was really the cherry on top of the cake was the 18th, I was setting up for my second shot 125 yards out from the green and someone runs on to the green to speak to this 3 ball. FIVE MINUTES I had to wait while they had a chat on the green.

A really pleasurable round ruined by total disregard of golf or course etiquette. If this was my local club I would have been asking for their membership to be stripped if they done it again.

While I will play here again in the future, I will probably never pay for a full price slot for this reason, it also settles the debate I was having about moving from my home club near Hawick to this one to save on travel. Safe to say I will not be taking up membership at this club if that is how the members play, with total disregard for anyone else but themselves.

First time on this lovely course. I joined a couple of very friendly locals for a round and had a great time. You get a real nice feeling driving into the course car park as you enter off the main road through a large wooded area. The course is a green oasis surrounded by hills and does look a pretty picture. Booking in was simple and a warm greeting was had from the staff. The course it’s self is nicely laid out with some spectacular holes and views. It is not overly long, which suits my game, but certainly presents some challenges, with some fantastic tee shots to savour! The Borders to Edinburgh train line passes through the course creating two sides to the it, you have to cross an old stone bridge to enter one side. The train line is in a cutting, so you will barely notice any trains, which themselves are not frequent. This simply adds to the charm of the course, indeed it would have been quite something to have seen a steam train passing through! The greens were in very good condition as were the fairways, the whole course is well presented (credit to the green staff).

This is a challenging course--not somewhat nor very--because it is all up and down and sideways. It is scenic, and not too long, but my wife found it hard to get any rhythm and distance. Well, I did too. The greens were pretty good, consistent and not too fast. Tees, though, were quite messy and uneven. They bring down the rating. Even so, the fantastic walk and variety leave a positive impression. Some might need a buggy...

We booked on Friday for Saturday morning. It was a great day and the course was in fantastic condition. There was no one to talk to when we arrived and the concession was not open so we couldn’t get anything to eat or drink before we went out. It was open when we came back though and the staff were lovely.

The setting is beautiful some memorable holes and great pace of play. Have already told friends about it and we will be back.

Horrible day weather wise as it rained from 1st tee to 18th green. First time at course and will definitely be going back. Excellent layout and challenging holes. Can’t wait to play again in the sunshine 👍

Nice course to play. Course was good to play considering the time of year. Nice views as well. Bonus is I won

Nice course, few tricky holes, and some nice views
