Ballumbie Castle Golf Club

About
Ballumbie Castle Golf Club has an interesting and diverse layout where no two holes are even remotely similar. Located on the outskirts of Dundee, the course was a welcome addition since the area was mostly lacking in parkland courses. Golfers can expect to use most of the clubs in their bag, but not necessarily a driver on the first six holes where accuracy is more important than distance. Water hazards come into play on four holes. One of the most notable holes is the par-4 10th, which features a burn alongside the fairway, a sloping bank to the right, and a pond to the left. Ballumbie Castle Golf Club also offers a driving range and it is conveniently located less than two miles from Carnoustie.

Good
Third time playing this course. Generally its always been a good challenging course with fast play. Today however after the rain during the week, some of the holes on the back nine were really badly water logged and one of the bunkers on the 15th resembled a water hazard.
Also the club shop was closed, so could not buy any food/water.
Great course
The course was in really good condition. Off the tee you can open up with your tee shot as it’s fairly open fairways with fairways of other holes running parallel. The greens were the trickiest with them playing fast, costing the odd 3 putt. Overall great course and I will be back.
You get what you pay for
The course is a bit hilly in places and the greens could do with some work - bare parches and moss is places. At the moment there is a lot of new house building work going on around the course - and they are constructing new greens and fairways. A lot of walking between some parts of the course.. Good value for what we paid,
Slow play killing golf
Sadly a round of golf ruined by slow play. Not the courses fault but still a wasted round. A 4 ball of women who were more interested in chatting than playing. We were patient and waited 3 holes to see if they would allow us through. Sadly they did not and we had to watch them. Not being horrid here but they were rotten. One of them was hitting the ball on average 30 yards per shot. Not enjoyable. We decided to call it a bad endeavor after 7 holes and came home. Sad to because Ballumbie is a great course
Very good
Very good course and layout. Pace of play was good, only issue is we turned up slightly earlier than our tee time which gave us a nice little gap between ourselves and the next tee time but the course staff just allowed someone to jump in right behind us who ended up right up our backsides.
Excellent Course
Beautiful course. Sadly got stuck behind slow 2 ball. Seems to be a problem with this course. This is killing the game btw. But yo the course, really enjoyed playing this course. Bit tricky but enjoyable.
Sporty
The course is great fun and was in great condition. Really enjoyed it.
A course for Big Hitters!
A very hilly Park golf course especially holes 1 & 3, a few greens were in poor condition, patchy & grass worn out. The course is geared up to big hitters, not too forgiving, it has good wide fairways, its a good hike on foot, but a good challenge.
Unusual set up
Played this course on Sunday 9th of August 2020.1st time playing this, impressed with large fairways and fast greens.some greens are looking damaged (needing watered) enjoyed getting quick service in restaurant and well set up club shop.hard to find golf course as no signposts.food was good and course well worth a visit.
Good course
This is a nice course. The 1st hole runs along side the driving range, be careful. This is the 2nd time we have played. Both times we have been held up with slow play. Today it was two clowns on a buggy. They thought they were Pro. They were not.
I would recommend this course but would politely ask the club read this and do something about this slow play. Its killing the game.
Overall though I have to say I love this course and I always play well when I play it. Smashing
Nice Course
Good experience at Ballumbie, course was well payed out and in good condition,
