Dundonald Links

Friendly welcome from the Pro in the club shop who told her where to go and what facilities were available. We went to the range for a bit then the putting green. Endless balls to hit from the grass as well. It was 23rd December. No frost so full greens were on and you didn’t need to use a Matt in the fairways. Only par 3’s were on mats. The young man in the starting office was brilliant. So full of energy. Big smiles and hyped us up for the round. Couldn’t have a better welcome to tee off.

After weeks of rain this course was in fantastic condition especially in December, the only minor gripe was the bunkers as they are extremely difficult to play out of when the sand is wet.

This course never disappoints. This is the 3rd time I’ve played it and I will be playing it again soon! Greens are in great condition for winter time. Staff are friendly and food was great. Love the place!

Considering recent weather and the amount of rain, the course played well, and still managed to come off the course as clean as when we started. I’d rather pay a little extra than play in a bog. Enjoyed my day

Great staff, great course, great facilities. A must-play if you get the opportunity.

From the moment you walk in the doors of the clubhouse there a warm friendly atmosphere. Good warm up range / chipping/ putting areas . laughs and joking with the starter and straight into a tough but fair course. Considering all the terrible weather lately the course was in phenomenal condition. I’ll be back again for sure . Saunas in the locker rooms a nice bonus to warm up again .

All the staff were fantastic

Third time playing at Dundonald and wasn't disappointed course was fantastic and would highly recommend it. For me not one bad hole on the course and all areas were in fabulous condition ❤️❤️👌

I would have expected greens to be a lot better for a links course charging a high green fee. The rest of the experience was good apart from slow play for the whole back 9.

Played it three years ago during summer…. Really impressed & anticipate it hosting Ryder Cup in future.

Despite it being only 3C temperature & wind gusting over 20mph, it didn’t disappoint!

Will be back again sometime

I know it’s winter but greens were very bumpy and hairy. Good course though, good general condition. Will go back again for sure but hoping the greens improve

The course based on time of year was excellent, greens very sandy but I appreciate work needs to be carried out, though didn’t really affect the roll of the ball.

The only downside was coming up behind a members four ball on the 10th hole, i then proceeded to follow them all the way to the 18th green. This was very disappointing especially after the 1st tee where a members four ball, let me tee off a head of them. The course was very quiet, so there was no reason not to let me through.

Definitely recommend playing there.

It was amazing what a day out regret not taking a pair of shorts with me for the steam room afterwards the facilities are out of this world

Played Dundonald on Saturday. Mint condition, layout and views stunning, greens were a little slower than i remember but still ran true and it is February! For £75 its a bargain

The course was in unbelievable condition for January, highly recommend at winter rates.

Very helpful and welcoming staff. Course was set up well for the time of year. Half way house was open and friendly. Overall an excellent day’s golf

Under new owners, Dundonald has taken the difficult steps from being a solid links to an exceptional one. The new accommodations are much needed in the region and ideal for golf groups who want to play the trophy links of the Ayrshire Coast. Dundonald, a past host of men's and women's Scottish Opens, is a demanding test with several burns impacting multiple holes. Many of the greens are propped up, making running shots up onto them difficult. The immaculate conditions were a treat to play. The addition of a halfway house and the very impressive new clubhouse has taken the whole experience up to five-star levels. Make sure to plan to stay for lunch or dinner. The food might be better than the course, and that's saying something.
