About
For many years a nine hole course, the course was extended to its present eighteen holes between 1987 and 1989. A par 70 course, measuring just under 6200 yards, it presents a varied and challenging test of golf, requiring accurate play off the tee and a good short game on the approaches to the small and tricky greens. The course has few hidden hazards, and what you see in front of you is what you have to conquer.
The first and last holes, containing slight doglegs, are much more testing than they would appear from the card, and if you can start and finish with two fours, you can be well satisfied. The Par 3 11th hole looks more intimidating than it really is, but requires a clean shot over the water. If you duff it, you are likely to be dropping another ball at the side of the pond.

Oldmeldrum Golf Course
My review might be different on another day as it was very slow play due to a competition - so slow both myself and the group behind left after hole 11. The guy in the pro shop was unpleasant to speak to and came across as very patronising. The course itself however was in very good condition, with fun, challenging holes to keep you entertained. Could do with a few more signs as it was tricky at times to find the next tee.
Lovely round of golf
Played today for first time, partner and I both beginners. What a lovely experience , great course and fellow golfers so considerate and friendly. Shout out to Hamish for making g us feel so welcome and for his lovely words of encouragement. We will be back.
Fair course for all level of golfer
I booked on and got grouped with 2 gentlemen and this made the day mlre enjoyable. The course would be enjoyable for all levels of player. Some shorter holes that are reachable but would bring in danger. Would definitely play again.
Lovely little course, but the layout is a bit odd, took us a few minutes to find the next hole on a few occasions.
Quirky, fun, friendly and a challenge.
Two of us played. I’m 9.3 WHS and my playing partner is 31.
Brian in the pro shop was very welcoming and the members we spoke to were very friendly and helpful. Quite a quirky course with crossover fairways and double greens, but very, very enjoyable and worth more than we paid.
Will definitely be back.
Value for money
Booked this through golf now. £18 each x 4 ball. Had food first in the clubhouse (excellent). Hired a buggy and thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon. The course was excellent. I would highly recommend this course 👍🏻
First visit
Excellent course regardless of the hills ; ), very private enjoyable club.
A lovely course in a beautiful setting with great views
The course was in very good condition. The greens were good. The layout was a bit confusing at times to know where the next tee was but apart from that we were very pleased with what turned out to be a perfect day on an interesting course. It is not the most challenging course but hitting the greens can be tricky. We would definitely play it again if back in the area. Excellent value.

Great course
Sort of tricky course for me but excellent course would definitely recommend and go back to play it
Disappointing golf course
Booked a time, arrived to find another group of two players playing at the same tee time. A two ball in front in buggy, making us wait every shot even though we were walking, group of two behind us in a buggy waiting for every shot for us to play. Playing winter greens which was disappointing as no frost. Was told there was red tees for ladies, only on 1st tee. First impressions means a lot and the first is a shared fareway with the 18th, which is dangerous and underwhelming. Far nicer courses to choose from in the area.
Different
First hole a little confusing due to the 18th hole sharing the same area. At this time of year you expect lots of leaves, but the course was kept very tidy. Quite easy to lose your golf ball when there's leaves all over the place. Greens were in good condition.
Definitely play there again.
