Stunning!

Thoroughly enjoyed my round this morning at Forfar. Course in great condition considering heavy rainfall overnight. Greens ran true and what a stunning course. It will be on my shortlist for membership next season. £45 felt great value for money. Staff on arrival very helpful and welcoming also.

Excellent track.

Played here for the 1st time and was not disappointed. Welcomed by a friendly lad on the counter who took the time to explain the course, how to play it (can’t be over powered) and he was spot on.

Course itself was in excellent condition, greens were as good as we have played on this season.

A tricky layout with some wild undulations.

Clubhouse was very inviting, and well priced.

Will certainly be back

Great tough course

Course is about accuracy rather than big hitting, was tough for me… but enjoyed it all the same! Pro was spot on, very pleasant gentleman with great knowledge on the course and a few insider tips 😂 1st time playing I’ll be back again but maybe when I’m somewhat better… clubhouse menu looked reasonable although never tried it. Definitely worth a go !

Fantastic Course

Played here twice within a few days now. Was that impressed on the Wednesday, we came back with one more golf buddy on the Saturday. Gentleman in the club shop before our round gave us a fascinating history of the course and a few pointers about individual holes too. It really is like an inland links course with so many different lies and high lipped bunkers. Just brilliant all round. 👍🏻

Forfar.

We were greeted and briefed on course layout and condition, by friendly staff member before we started. The course was on winter tees but full greens. Played off mat's. Fairways and greens were in good condition given the time of year. The only very minor criticism is the mat's at the tees were a little difficult to tee up for driver.

Great course ruined by lazy staff

Booked a round of golf and whst a beautiful spring day. Course was immaculate but on winter greens. I check with all surrounding courses and they were all on full greens. Spoke with members who were also dissspointed. Absolutely no need to be on winters. Just laziness of staff yo move pins. Avoid this course October to 1st April. What a shame as this course is great.
