About
The Cally Palace Hotel features a private golf course that is carved from the scenic parkland that surrounds the hotel. The course closely follows the natural contours of the landscape and utilizes the towering trees that dot the terrain. Golfers playing the course will have the opportunity to behold panoramic views of Cardoness Castle, Rutherford’s Monument, and the Fleet Estuary. In addition to the spectacular scenery, the layout offers a challenge for all skill levels with hidden burns and water hazards throughout provided by the Cally Lake. The Cally Palace Hotel also offers a practice area and putting green for golfers to use. Conveniently since the golf course has no members or competitions, it is rarely ever crowded.

Father and Son Golf
Greens weren’t so fast and the surface was unpredictable. However great scenery and hardly anyone playing it.
Excellent
First time on this very spectacular golf course. Well laid out and well maintained.
Not value for money
First time playing here after hearing it was decent. Played it and thought it was hot very well maintained! Greens were very poor
Beautiful course in stunning parkland.
Buy a course planner. Positioning is important on dogleg holes.
Disappointed
The course has never let me down before but the greens were poor and some of the fairways were uncut. It’s a shame really, great wee course but lacking a lot of TLC
Great Find
Found this course while on holiday in the area, it’s attached to the hotel therefore there’s no clubhouse or professional shop, but nevertheless that doesn’t detract from the experience. Well presented with magnificent trees along the fairways with heavy undergrowth (many lost balls), greens are good and relatively flat throughout the course. Definitely will go back if I’m in the area again.
Driver won’t be needed all the time
What a course! Gear up for a few crackers. 1st and 18th was a 7 iron and 56 ! Position is Critical. Nice mixture of long and short on par 3/4/5s. The cabbage is deep. Don’t bother looking if you hit one in there. Hopefully they keep watering. Some greens getting badly burned. Best value for golf ever found. Staff at reception were brilliant. Same for lads in the 19th. Look out for the par 5 13th. 4 iron then 2 9 irons . Yep at a par 5! Snake like hole with. Pretty much no fairway and water before it. Will definitely play again
Good game!
Beautiful location, and we were lucky to have a glorious summer day! The course was in good condition and not over crowded. Staff were very welcoming and prepared for our arrival.
Beautiful course in stunning parkland.
Not the easiest course to play but one you will enjoy playing again and again. Just have plenty of balls in your bag.
Tough but beautiful course
A wide range of holes and terrain awaits you at Cally Palace. Really good greens too. Amazingly beautiful if you like trees !
Back at Cally !
Always love playing this course, feel like you can always score fairly well but the par 5s are very challenging .
Par 4s all reachable in 2 and par 3s also not overly long.
Course very playable if slightly wet in a couple of places and greens still very decent for time of yr.
Love it !
Lovely Tuesday afternoon
Really enjoyed our round and weather conditions kind. Course layout is lovely, not too long or hilly. Only complaint is greenkeepers had cut grass on fairways when wet and left clumps everywhere.
Such a shame
Beautiful parkland course.
Played course this time after a dry 6 days. Just a couple of soft areas and slight water damage on a couple of greens. Course in great condition and greens nice and fast. Really enjoy this course when in this condition.
Great course let down by lack of maintenance
Iv played this course several times in the last 2 years and unfortunately it seems to be deteriorating more and more every time I play which is a huge shame because the layout and scenery around the course is excellent
Beware of par fives and the third.
Some heavy rain day before but only 3 and 4 boggy..The second par 5 should be abolished under the Geneva convention as this time I increased my score at it to 11. I hope I did nt hit a red squirrel with my errant drive. Fairway narrows to twenty yards and there are a few other holes with rather narrow fairways when you think they would want to encourage custom with an easier course. Good chance of hitting a tree on the 18 th but guess the squirrels will have learnt not to live there.
