Decent course with some nice holes

Hard to judge this course at the moment as greens still quite poor from winter and had a few winter greens on. I'd expect the condition to be a bit further on by April. The par 4's are a little monotonous as quite long with a lot of up hill 2nd shots. Some really nice par 3's and short 4's to keep your interest up though. I imagine this will be a nice test come summer when the condition improves.

Hayston revisited

I was so impressed by the condition of the course considering the recent rain. We were given a lovely welcome by one of the lady members and Scott the pro. Just sorry we were not on all the greens and it was the last day of mats but we thoroughly enjoyed our golfing experience.

First time

On arrival we were told to play off mats or place the ball in the rought. Also my Dad was not allowed to use his electric trolley on the course and had to use the clubs own trolley with hedgehog wheels. We were told that there would be a front 8 and back 10 with the 4th not playable and a replacement hole further into the round. Not all holes were using full greens and the ones that did they were shockingly bad. In summer this course would be brilliant. I expected it to be decent at this time of year but I was left disappointed.

No fairways, no greens = no fun

With it being march i didn't expect the course to be in perfect shape.

I think 3/4 of the greens were off winter greens, all but 1 covered mostly with sand.

Halfway through the round members told us that the fairways were off limits as well. Some notice would've been nice.

One of the holes was missed and then replaced with a 70 yarder randomly squeezed in later on.

The holes were a good length and varied and during summer I'm sure good fun.

If I'd known there were no fairways and almost all winter greens I wouldn't have booked till later in the year. Some communication would've been great rather than agitated members shouting and whistling

Lovely course, nice layout!

Lovely course, great layout, friendly staff in the pro shop. The 4th hole was out of play, but wasn't mentioned before we teed off, however, it didn't detract from an enjoyable round of golf! Will definitely be back!

Very wet

First time playing and very disappointed. Lots of standing water on fairways and greens saturated. Course should have been closed. Course very busy and pace of play very, very slow. Walked off after playing only 9 holes. 4th hole also completely closed so had to walk to 5th. Not ideal. Wont be back.

Great course

2nd time playing this wonderful course after being very impressed the first time back in July and decided to come back again. The west of Scotland has been very wet lately and only the day before I played a course which was just soaking but Hayston was very firm and dry.

Paid £30 for round bit steep but well worth it. Fairways were really nice, greens were soft but still fast considering the rain we’ve had. Nice range of par 3’s. Would highly recommend!!

Hayston Golf Course

Tucked away between Torrance and Kirkintilloch we came across this interesting parkland course. Par 70 with a number of short par 3’s before a tough 208 uphill par 3 to a double green. The course is well payed out with a lot of gentle sloping shots but no blind shots. The greens were extremely fast and in really good condition despite the Heavy rain the previous day. The course was busy but play flowed well. A nice addition to our courses and I would recommend this course.
