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
Good course to play if you’re in the area. The course was in very good condition and all the holes were interesting and there were few, of any, blind shots.
Nice midweek twilight round
Nice course, decent test for any level and forgiving for most part. Greens in really good shape, Hamish in the pro shop is exactly as the reviews say - a real character! Nice welcoming guy, gave a few pointers on course management, which helped! Good value and pace of play, no complaints at all.
Good course, very friendly pro and members.
Was a member 20 years ago, and always try and get a game when home. The club Pro Hamish is a top guy, and put me out with a couple of friendly members to play along with. Course has a good verity of holes and the trees have certainly added a challenge. Recommend and great value for money.
Great course not to hard for a beginner but not easy either a few tricky holes good size fairways, greens are kept really nice, staff are very friendly
Great experience
Old meldrum gc is a lovely course not to difficult nor to easy. It has plenty of practice areas to warm up using including a range. Unfortunately the pace of play was very slow but this was no fault of the clubs. The club pro Hamish is very friendly, helpful and has some great deals in his shop.
I will definitely be back!

Lovely course in good condition. Some quirky jokes and hard holes resulting in a well balanced course. Thoroughly enjoyed our game and will definitely be back to play.
Winter greens in May
Course is on top of Oldmeldrum, with good vistas across the course. Having arrived at the course to be advised of winter greens, due to course maintenance, it was disappointing this had not been advised to GolfNow as I would not have played it.
Was not the most interesting of courses and don’t believe I’d return any time soon. At a cost of £17 there are much better courses in the central belt for similar fees.
Condition of Fairways and greens are good,
Greens are hard to read
Golf the way it should be
I always wanted to tee it up in the bosom of golf. We were on our holiday in Europe and had the opportunity to play this course. Very challenging with lots of personality. Hämisch in the pro Shop was so friendly and accommodating. The clubhouse had excellent home cooked food and the staff was great.
Old meldrum
Had a great day course was looking really good and played well no bad remarks at all thanks
Great course
Everything was good condition down to the fairways to the greens.I would play there again
Excellent
A fantastic golf course with some challenging holes. Well laid out and very well maintained. Hole 11 is a personal favourite. A must for anyone visiting the area.
Oldmeldrum 08/08
I enjoyed a nice enough round and was made very welcome by the club pro.
The track wasn't overly challenging or exciting and in my opinion, there are nicer 'country courses' in Aberdeenshire.
Its very well priced against better courses in the area and I wouldn't advise not playing it, there would just be ones I would play before it again.
