The Hirsel Golf Club

The condition of the course and especially the greens for this time of year, let alone the weather conditions recently, is truly excellent compared to a lot of courses in the area.

The staff in the pro shop and all the members were warm and welcoming and it wasn't too busy either.

This place is a bargain for what you get for your money.

The only downside was not having the local knowledge on the number of blind shots, which could've shaved a few shots.

I'm a 7 handicap and shot 7 over playing average/decent so not a particularly hard, nor particularly easy. You need to be quite straight down the middle at a number of tree lined tee shots.

I really enjoyed it and will definitely be back soon.

A pity i didn’t live closer , only the 2nd time playing this course as it’s over 100 mile round trip. But it’s well worth the effort , a great course, and in great shape too . Planning another trip in the summer.

Myself and my son were looking for a course to play in the Borders area whilst on holiday in the area. We searched Golfnow and stumbled across Hirsel GC and we were glad we did. Tidy and challenging course with something for everyone. A bit of work going on but considering most courses are still using winter tees and greens, Hirsel was pretty much fully open. The odd carpet tee and some greens were very damp, but this did not spoil our round. Would be happy if this was our home course. Hope to play again when the weather improves.

Course in very good condition considering recent heavy rainfall over last few days. Varied layout and only one temporary green on. Assistant pro and bar staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly.

Overall, really enjoyed the day and will be back again in the summer

Chose this course at random for travel distance between friends, couldn’t be happier with the choice. Fantastic layout, very good condition, lots of challenging holes and excellent value. We are already planning on returning.

Great course in good condition tight drives lovely greens

Hidden gem, good value, great food.

Will be back.

This course is truly spectacular and great fun to play. A lot of blind holes playing for position surrounded by breathtaking scenery and excellent course condition. Members were all very friendly.. Can’t wait to come back and play again!

Lovely course in great condition with very tricky greens.

Great drive from Newcastle to the course, no hold ups great scenery. On arrival greeted by a member of staff in the pro shop who took payment for my buggy. He did not have a great deal to say. Our 4 ball set off the fairways were great, the only problem we found were the greens.

The greens were very slow they really needed to be cut they were like velcro you had to hit the ball hard to get to the hole. Apart from the greens we had a great day, we were let through by a 4 ball of ladies. I will definitely be going back.

One of the best days of golf I’ve had anywhere.

The course is fantastic with some interesting holes,blind shots and unusual layouts make for a must return to play the course with an insight to where to put your tee shot.

The friendliness of this place is like nothing I’ve come across anywhere else,from the club pro Russell who couldn’t have been more welcoming,to the green keepers and members who give a friendly wave when passing made my visit a fantastic day.

This place is a little out of the way but I promise it’s more than worth the effort to get here,if you’ve read reviews like I did and wonder if it’s somewhere you should try I couldn’t recommend it enough, it is as often described a true hidden gem which is a perfect fit for this outstanding club.

Russell thank you for your fantastic and warm welcome when I visited your brilliant club,I will be back with the guys.

Best wishes Lee.

This course is superb! The thought that has gone into the layout is excellent. The greens are immaculate and true. If you are in the borders, you need to play this course.

First time we have played this course, we were very impressed. The course is in great condition, everything was in top condition. It is a challenging course, the layout is brilliant and has plenty of information on the tees. There are also plenty of signs directing you to the next tee. Would definitely recommend

Cracking golf course, if your a big hitter and straight you could shoot some low scores on here, it’s not the longest but some fantastic holes meaning you have to be precise off the tee especially on the dog leg holes, I’ll definitely be back now I know the layout. Again great course

Course in great condition. Interesting parkland course which flows very nicely. Good value for money with Golfnow hot deal. Club house and bar clean and tidy. Staff and course members welcoming and friendly.
