About
Niddry Castle Golf Club offers 18 holes of par-70 golf over 5,914 yards, providing a good course for all levels and ability of player. Magnificent vistas provide a glimpse of the Pentland Hills, and the holes all offer their own unique tests and hazards - plus there's a castle smack-dab in the middle. If you can control your shots and manage a solid golf course, then this patch of parkland ought to be on your itinerary for any golf trip to Scotland.
Fire away at Cannons Drive, the Niddry Castle Golf Club's 198-yard par-3 first hole, featuring a green that slopes away. The long hole is the sixth, Castle View, a par-5 524-yarder - pick right or left of the fairway at the tee to avoid sticking yourself behind a large tree for the second shot. Gan Hame, the 18th hole, a par 4 that measures 404 yards, provides a superb finishing hole, with an elevated tee shot to a fairway that features trees on both sides.
If you're going in winter, when the club sees fewer players, Niddry Castle Golf Club offers golf-and-coffee specials.

Lovely setting
Good round in the wind. Fairways and rough very good. Greens little compacted and consequently fast. Played competition 2 days later and sighed up for another. Will definitely be back
Great hospitality, golf and food!
Niddry Castle Golf Course is a wee hidden gem. The staff and members are friendly and we were treated to a sensational steak pie on our return.
The Course is made up of 9 old holes and 9 built more recently. The old holes have more personality but the whole course, whilst not being terribly long, is tricky and testing, and a straight ball is required to avoid the course's many hazards.
All 18 full greens were in play, and I have seldom played truer and well managed parkland greens at this time of year. Well done to the green keeping staff. Although there has been a lot of rain over the last week, very few parts of the course felt too wet underfoot.
An excellent day out and we will return to Niddry Castle over the summer to sample more of the delicious steak pies, and the warm welcoming atmosphere!! Thank you!
