Murrayshall House Hotel & Golf Club - The Lynedoch Course

About
The Murrayshall House Hotel & Golf Club's Lynedoch Course, opened in July of 2000, provides a variety of challenges for golfers of all abilities. Set within a mature woodland, the golf course's narrow fairways, water hazards, bracken-filled gullies and generous, undulating greens provide a good test.
Lynedoch, like the Murrayshall Course on the property, was designed by Hamilton J. Stutt. At 5,361 yards, the par-69 golf course is shorter than its neighbor but still a challenge, running through Scots Pine woodland and wildflower meadows, leading to the large, testing greens.
The front nine is made up of seven par-4 holes and two par 32, while the back nine includes the golf course's only two par-5 holes, the 456-yard 12th hole and the 440-yard 14th.

Good Course
Good course, really friendly staff. Would without doubt play again.
Hilly
Beautiful views. 10 holes you play it twice. Can be a hard walk between tee areas. I found it a tuff course for a 20 handicap. Blind tee shots and fairways that are slopping would need to play it a good few times to enjoy it.
Enjoyed the first visit the only criticism would be that a few of the greens weren’t in very good condition but would certainly be back
Beautiful course
Amazing course, greens in very good condition. Recommend this course to golfers of all abilities. Tricky, challenging but very enjoyable.
Lynedoch Course
Tight fairways so need to be accurate off the tee. It’s a good 10 hole layout, slightly too hilly however a very good challenging course.
Fantastic course
1st time I've played this course and it was fantastic. Greens were pristine as was the whole course. Loved it and the views, wow. Only one issue is after the par 3 we could not finding, I think it was the 13th or 14th hole. Not very well signed. But 11 quid on golf now. Unbelievable value
Great Course.
Played with 3 friends, took 4 hours for 18 holes which isn't too bad. A little difficult to understand where the next tee is in places but other than that the course was perfectly kept and the greens were fast but excellent condition. Would definitely play again but without a buggy it's not ideal if your not psyically fit, very hilly. Overall a great experience
Blue sky Golf
What a fabulous surprise- blue skys and a beautiful 10 hole course. Highly recommend
Not what it used to be like, disappointing
Wholly disappointed with our 18 holes on the Lynedoch from last week.
Course was empty which indicates people not interested in playing there.
Wanted a relatively quicker round than playing the main course and it was ideal for that in terms of time to get around the course.
Booking in and to the tee were relatively straight forward.
My biggest gripe was not being told about the condition of the greens and the maintainence work that had been carried out and the "discolouration" of the bunkers with some sort of weed killer of some sort.
The greens were ok at best. Been cored and refilled but never got a true roll or consistent pace between all 10 greens we played on. The bunkers had discolouration from spraying so we decided to lift and drop out of them as we were not told what it was and with having a skin condition I wasn't wanting to risk any contact burn issues.
I love the set up, some nice short par 4s that can bite you if your offline and the par 3s may look easy but you need to be accurate.
Disappointed at green fee and condition presented. Needs to be better especially at this time of year. Won't be back anytime soon I think. Greens recently played on the North Inch are far superior than here.
Also watch out for the "service charge" when buying any drinks or food in the bar afterwards.
Very hilly Challenging course
A hilly course in excellent condition. Challenging at every turn. Was advertised as a 18 hole course on golf now but in fact its a ten hole course which you need to go round some of the holes twice. This didn't have an affect on our day and we had a great time. Would recommend hiring golf buggy!!!
Good, challenging, Layout
This course isn't particularly long but has recently been changed to a 11 hole course. Holes 1 and 18 are unique whilst you play the other 8 holes (2-9) twice. The signage and mapping of the course isn't great and I was a little uncertain that I was on the right track for the first few holes. The club should make efforts to improve the signages and mapping of holes for each tee box to ensure players know where they are.
A lot of blind, challenging holes, which were made harder by the lack of mapping. Overall a good course that is unfortunately let down by the uncertainty it is marred in.
