Newbattle Golf Club

Friendly club with a nicely presented course. Not the longest nor the most challenging. however the course condition and speed of play was excellent

First time playing Newbattle driven past many a time the score suggests it might be easy going. It’s definitely not some tricky par 4s some testing par 3s and some demanding par 4s. Course set up is spot on neat fairways and the rough just about the right length, greens very good considering the wet winter a great pace. Would I recommend yes 100% the Pro was most hopeful with organising a tee time.

Returned to play Newbattle with friends for some Christmas golf - fantastic experience on the beloved nature parkland course. For the time of year the course was in stupendously good condition and always greens in play bar one, and all draining very well. Well done to the greens team there. Decent-ish weather helped too. Clubhouse reasonable but restaurant was closed that day (Mondays).

Very well maintained course and greens. Especially with an unusual dry summer.

1st time visitor to newbattle , Some interesting holes with some long walks between holes , Course was in good condition with the greens rolling nicely,Clubhouse was friendly enough and we had a nice meal pre golf ,would recommend ,

First time I have played here and I will definitely be back ! Brilliant course layout and in great condition!

Played this course before and it was slow and busy today that’s the only reason the pace of play is only 1 star but that’s because it’s really nice out and sunny, usually it’s a good pace but course was very nice as usual and it’s always well maintained and solid course

If I stayed closer to this course, I’d be signing up tomorrow. I found the staff very welcoming. Didn’t get the chance to really speak to members as it wasn't busy but I was greeted with hellos from them.

The course is a good mix of holes. I usually drive whenever possible and this course forced me to use an iron off the tee several times.

There looks to be plenty drainage for wet weather. The greens were in fantastic condition and all played consistent.

My only negative is the condition of the bunkers. Lots of stone in them and inconsistent with how much sand were in each one I was in. Some felt like I couldn’t splash out at all. But I guess that was an extra reason to avoid them. It wasn’t enough to drop a star off the condition of the course.

Will happily come back for a round

I had a great time at Newbattle. I had never played there before so wasn’t sure what to expect. The teeboxes, fairways, rough (which I found myself in a few time), and the greens were in great condition. Had some nice views of Arthur’s seat and the pentlands in the May sunshine too. My favourite hole was the par 4 17th over the river, which was very unique. My only issue with the course was that some of the bunkers were quite rocky so a risk of a dented wedge.

Great course, was very challenging for me as a high handicap. Will definitely be back

Great course, nice layout some easier holes some more challenging holes but overall very good course, nice greens very scenic 17th hole good for average golfers and more experienced golfers alike lovely clubhouse and plenty of parking too, solid 8.9/10 for me
