Ballumbie Castle Golf Club

Unfortunately I only played 6 holes and had to give up, as that took about 2 hours.

There was a junior competition out immediately in front me which was horrendously slow.

After slowly playing 4 balls to kill time at the 1st, I still had to wait over 20 mins on the 2nd Tee.

I pitched and putted for another 15 mins on the 2nd green to try and let them get ahead, to no avail.

My booking should never have been taken at that time. I was advised on arrival - and after a 2 hour drive, I had little option but to accept the situation.

Really disappointed as it actually looked quite decent.

All in all, a pretty good experience. Price was ok. There were some really interesting holes with water features. The greens were in good condition. I wasn't so fond of the increased risk of being hit by a golf ball in several holes. There are stray balls flying from the driving range. There are a few holes where you are playing into groups coming towards you on adjacent holes. There is also one crossover hole.

Greens barely have any grass on them, and the ones that do, are very dry. Didnt look like they had been watered for months.

Disappointing when it was previously a well looked after course. Not worth £40 green fee.

Played the course and it was a really good course, the greens still had piles of sand on them which makes it hard to put especially so close to the new summer season, but a few tricky holes, amazing staff, and a really good driving range. I can’t wait to come back and play when the course is at its peak

I love playing this course enjoy it I've been playing it for a long time in a regular base this is a might end up coming a member of it by do like playing another coaches as well so I will show you this up because I like this up as well because it gives you value to play Another courses and I do like that

I was a member here for around 8 seasons from 2003 and the course wasn’t too bad back then, but after playing it yesterday for the first time in a long time, I couldn’t believe how bad it was.

They’ve sold off land over the years and have lost a few of the original holes, and to keep it playing as an 18 hole course, they’ve just crammed in extra tees and greens wherever they could. The current layout has no natural flow and is bizarre to say the least. The worst bit being the 4 par 3’s within a 5 hole stretch on the back 9.

Appreciate it was the middle of winter when we played, but the general condition of the whole course was extremely poor, with various parts looking abandoned.

For a short course, we all came off absolutely exhausted with the amount of hills and walking between tees.

I’d recommend this course to a non-golfer wanting to give golf a try, but for anyone else, I’d would suggest paying a bit more and playing somewhere else.

Sadly, I won’t be back. At least the driving range is decent.

I love playing the game or not Kush as I get a very cute for me for not being a member you get bargained and it's a very friendly course and I do enjoy playing it so can't be a little bit challenging but I like that that helps your game

Good course nice n tricky hes to challenge us defo go back booked for 3 people but only 2 turned up which i was annoyed at at i had paid for 3

Teed off before 8am so the shop wasn’t open for a scorecard or anything. Not a complaint but not ideal. Tees and greens in poor condition and got lost a couple of times trying to find the next hole. Very confusing layout. Quite a long walk for a shortish course. Paid £30 and I would say this was too expensive for what I got. In my opinion, play elsewhere as there’s plenty of choice

Greens poor lots of non golfers playing that’s don’t know how to repair a pitch mark or divot. Poor layout now they cashed in on selling course off to house developers Club house filthy. Staff all nice but much better in area for similar cost. Defo not with joining

Special thanks to the lady in the shop who spent 10 minutes drawing out the course layout as it was my first time.playing here

The greens we're in poor condition, course lay out was very confusing and couldn'tfind a couple of tees for holes, large walks between tees

Found the course to be in excellent condition but the layout was very tiring for a pensioner like myself If we had known the long walks between tees we would have hired a buggy All In all we enjoyed playing the course
