Lockerbie Golf Club

Middle of June and I lost two balls landing on the fairways from good tee shots, both plugging and never seen again. I mean, yes we've had some rain but really courses should be very much dried out by now. The greens were pretty fast but had silly pin positions at the edge of greens presumably to keep the players away from the main part of them.

Not the longest of courses but as the fairways hadn't been cut in a while and with the ground still being somewhat spongey there was no run at all so it played a fair bit longer than you'd think. The course itself has some nice holes but be aware it is hilly so if you struggle going up and down get a buggy. Oh and here's the best piece of advice: at EVERY hole check you are on the right one. Always check the marker to make absolutely sure you are where you should be. If you don't - you're going the wrong way.

Lockerbie isn't terrible but it's not great either though that's just one opinion of course but if you do want to go then wait until there's been plenty of dry weather.

Booked anticipating an 18 hole round but half the course was closed, unusual given the time of year! This was not mentioned prior to booking or approaching the course, difficult to work out the course layout and the par/distance of course became unrecognisable

Some fairways were long so hardly any carry on shots, was looking forward to playing the course and live locally but left disappointed and short changed

On arrival no one to book in with just an honesty box course only had 6 holes open due to flooding/sodden unplayable holes so couldn’t play the 18 holes I had payed for the course should of been closed .walked the first few holes it looks a beautiful track but unfortunately couldn’t play it

Not one of the bigger more well know courses but take a few hours and go play here.

We booked on for 0820 and were first put, the first is straight up hill which certainly gets the blood pumping but then the undulating layout isn’t too arduous.

The greens were a great pace, lots of breaks that will have you scratching your head.

A few drivable par 4’s, very risk/reward but only for the very brave!

Not the longest of courses and fairly open but being on the fairway pays a huge dividend, the semi-rough is only an inch deep and you’ll find your ball, but the lush grass means it’s not worth trying anything longer than an 8 iron.

The club house is a little small but perfectly serviced and the members are amazing, welcoming, interested and friendly.

The weather was a little inclement on the day but next time in Dumfries I’ll have Lockerbie on list of must play courses.

Unfortunately no one at the club had advised golf now that only half the course was open or they had been informed but not made the adjustment. They were cutting the higher up holes in preparation for reopening. Tee boxes were a bit rough but maybe because they were doing a lot of other work. Clubhouse was closed other than access to locker room as there were a few members there when I arrived. Very nice views and a pretty course. Asked for and received half a refund from golf now.

Good friendly staff and members, welcomed on arrival. Would recommend a buggy as quite hilly. Greens were looked after. Would play and recommend again

Nice relaxing play on the course, greens and course in good condition. More signage would help as not always clear what direction the next tee is, and we were not the only ones who lost their way!

Course in excellent condition on a very hot day. Overall very enjoyable. Some good par 3's over water.

The course and greens particularly were in good condition although a lot of the fairways were a bit up and down and could do with a few directional markers as some tee boxes were difficult to find
