Niddry Castle Golf Club

Played this as a four ball on Sunday 8th May.

This is by far the worse course in West Lothian and not worth £2 let alone £20 per head.

Firstly, the greens were terrible and clearly they hadn’t been cut all week. It was like putting in a Persian rug and it’s obvious to us now why there was hardly anyone else on the course.

Secondly, after our round had finished at 18.30 the clubhouse was all shut up so we had nowhere to go for a bite to eat and a drink.

Could have played a much better course in the region for the same money and had a better experience. Would not recommend to anyone.

Had not played Niddry Castle since it extended to 18 holes...cracking course...definitely worth a visit if in the

area...relaxed and friendly atmosphere...staff were very

helpful...members also...addition of 9 to 18 made this a

nice way to spend a few hours in April sunshine...looks quite straightforward but is a challenging course..no hills to

speak of but lots of lurking hazards...

Give it a go...

Many Thanks to all

When getting to the course, the club clearly advertised the times we played before the club actually opened and was a gate locking entry to the course. Had to park on the street and walk up, 2 other tee off’s had to do the same.

When got there due to nothing being open we didn’t know the layout of the course with no assistance and as wasn’t open and no members about was very difficult to navigate for the first few holes.

When getting to the end of the round we weren’t made aware there was a shotgun start comp on and due to this the playing members wouldn’t allow us to play the 17th and 18th. This should have been advertised.

Not great experience as a visitor to say the least

Great course fantastic views considering getting membership

Had a cracking time here today. Course layout is ok, but you have to back track down a few fairways to get to the next tees. The 17th and 18th holes around the castle are fantastic.

Club house has the best roll and square sausage and tattie scone I have had in a very long time! Cracking cup of tea also!

Could not get in touch to see if still open

Found out later it was but 6 holes off

And winter greens

Paid for 18 got none now golf did not help

Recently moved out here and been trying a few course but just got round to Niddry castle this week. Absolutely brilliant course, wee hidden gem with some stunning views. Lovely course to play thoroughly enjoyed it. Will be back very soon, may even consider a membership next season.

A really enjoyable course for how bad the weather was the greens were rolling brilliantly. My only issue is there is a few blind holes where you can potentially hit other golfers. The 2nd hole is a dangerous hole where you can’t see the green and to walk to 3rd you have to walk back across the 2nd fairway without people seeing you. The 5th and 6th hole you are literally hitting across each other. Apart from that I really enjoyed the course it was definitely a different layout to other courses I have been use to and again can’t fault the greens.

Well worth the trip! Almost November and the greens were magnificent! Shortish but still a quality challenge. I don't generally do reviews but I had to with this. Quality course and highly recommended! I will be back

2nd time played,love the slopes and blind hole, great greens and fairways. Well look after
