Piperdam Golf & Leisure Resort - New Course
About
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.

Terrible greens bone dry no groth
Terrible tees all sandy no growth
Greens were Terrible bone dry hard packed
No water
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.
Amazing Round of Gold
Excellent standard of golf course, beautiful aesthetically, friendly staff and very well priced on GolfNow Hot Deal. Will definitely be back!
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.
Terrible experience
Booked to play here on 1st April. After 2 holes I caught up with a 5 (five ball) with 2 golf carts sharing golf clubs. Refused to let me play through. I can only describe the length of time to play 5 holes as 1 hour 50mins before I walked off after 7 holes. The course itself is in great condition and greens were in excellent condition (the ones I played).
The course
Would be nice to Tee numbers as this was our first time we were not sure what number Tee we were on
Thoroughly recommend
What a wonderful place to play golf. Staff were fantastic, folks on the course really friendly (even the dog walkers), course in great condition and it was a lovely autumnal afternoon. Can’t wait to play in the summer and play of the white or yellow tees. Really enjoyed the experience and thoroughly recommend. Thank you
Hidden Gem
This was the first time I had played Piperdam, it had been pouring with rain the day before but you would never guess that with the condition of the course, the fairways were firm and the greens were solid and running well, a few patches on them but for October they were great, no winter greens here like my home course, we only paid £25 which is a bargain, we had a great day and I would recommend Piperdam to anyone, thanks

Lovely Course
Was a fantastic day only let down by being held up by two women ahead of us playing slow and chatting on the green at the end of nearly every hole
Nice course - choose the right time of play
We played the course on a sunday, which is probably a very busy day. Should play a four-ball, but the locals didn't want to play with us, so we walked out as a 2-ball behinde a group of two 4-balls. We started very slow but the two flights ahead of us, let us play through. After that the 4-ball ahead of us, locals, didn't let us play through, but as we reached the 9 (PAR 3), we asked if we could skip the hole to pass, which was ok for them. So that was the not so nice part. The course itself is nice to play, good condition, tricky greens, not as slow, as they look like, so 3-puts can happen easy! We can recomden the course, but maybe be sure, what time to play and with who ;-)
