Piperdam Golf & Leisure Resort (formerly known as The Osprey Course at Piperdam) is so named because during the summer months, Ospreys nest at the loch that the course surrounds. The event has become such an attraction that the Piperdam Osprey Centre, an observation facility for visitors, was built. The course has a parkland style layout with water hazards and out-of-bounds stakes. Golfers are quickly introduced to the challenges of the course with the par-3 first hole, which requires a careful tee shot over water in order to reach the green. In addition to the scenic course, Piperdam Golf & Leisure Resort offers a 12-bay driving range as well as boat and bank fishing on the loch.

Great course, shame about the greens

Great course layout. The shop allowed me to tee off early. Unfortunately, the greens were in a bad state with disease on all the greens removing any true putts. Apart from this, I would play it again as its a good test of golf planning.

Fun test of golf

This was my second outing here.

Staff are lovely.

Excellent value for money, as a last minute decision to go out and play somewhere.

Start is a par 3 over the loch,

The course is well laid out and continues along and back the side of the loch then continues over to the other side.

Fairways are generous and in great condition. Not many hazards. Tree lined. Greens were mostly in good condition and average speed. Not fast.

I played exceptionally well on both my outings here, 🤩 so have a very positive review of it all. Both days, luckily, were warm sunshine and little wind.

I shall definitely return with more friends next time and hope to enjoy it as much

Many thanks.

Very dry

Firstly I enjoyed my round ,the layout was good , views are good but unfortunately the coarse conditions let it down. Very dry and scalped greens . Looks like the irrigation system isn’t working with lots of overgrown and broken sprinkler heads. If this was rectified and the coarse was watered I believe the conditions would drastically improve

Hmmm

While the course was in good condition, greens looked terrible but played well. Very tricky to keep approaches on the greens as very firm. Multiple groups jumping onto course infront where no gap was and game behind constantly trying to push us along. Staff good but feel a better starter process. 2nd time playing the course and probably the last.

Upon arrival we went to the bar in which was very over priced. Once we T d off the course looked very tired especially the greens. The one thing that really annoyed us was the two ball in front with three guys playing from two bags this made it really slow hence a two ball walking off. Overall we were really disappointed. Any chance of a refund if possible?

Surprised by poor course condition

First time at the course. Has some good holes layout wise. But the course is in poor condition. Most of the greens are almost bald and rock hard. Tees area's neglected. Daisy's growing on some fairways. Clearly not enough investment into the course care wise. Wouldn't go back.

Could be excellent

Been meaning to play this course for a while, it gets good reviews and looks a challenge. Heading into the clubhouse and starters box the staff were very friendly and informative. The first tee gave a flavour of the course conditions, not great needs a bit of attention. This continued onto the greens, some of which were quite patchy others very good. The layout is great and shows of the surrounding countryside with the water always prominent. There can be a good walk between some holes but that’s not off putting. It’s a long course but fairly level, a good challenge.

With a bit of improvement to the tees and greens this would be an excellent course but for now needs a bit of work.

Charming views

The course had a very interesting lay out with the lake coming into play on a number of holes. Considering the lack of rain this spring, the course was in great condition.

It was an interesting and inexpensive course to play near Dundee.
