Long course

Have played here before so knew what to expect with the length of the course. However the greens were less than satisfactory. They were long, mossy in places and extremely bumpy. Also there are still 2 winter greens in play. For over £30 per person you can definitely get better courses elsewhere.

The greens were the only disappointing side to the round. With the recent weather suppose we can’t expect much. Other than that the course is decent. Staff very welcoming and friendly.

Poor condition

Course layout is superb however the condition is pretty poor with moss everywhere and greens in a poor condition. Was a four ball Texas scramble in front of us which should be quick but it took us over 4 hours 15 mins and were waiting on every tee box, when we as a 3 ball should have been allowed to play through

Not worth the money.

Greens in poor condition, barely playable. As some other reviews state, the course is a bit boggy. Definitely not worth £30. Wouldn't play again.

Not good

Our tee time was 8am, there was no staff there for us to check in and get scorecards, the majority of the corse was under water, a lovely dry morning and we come off soaking, all round bad experience and wasn’t worth £63 for 3 of us

Wet

Very wet course, pretty poor drainage. I’d imagine it would be good in summer but how many times do you say that about courses in Spring. You’d be better off playing something else. A bit pricey. Would recommend in July.

Has potential

This course is attached to a nuffield gym with cafe. The course itself is tight in places but very boggy and the greens could be better maintained. (Very bumpy and mossy in areas) the signage between holes could be better.

It's not all bad, some good challenging holes with blind corners to consider and fairways are generally pleasant.

Never 10 minute intervals between Tee Offs!!

I was extremely disappointed when I realized the course was using winter greens on SOME ( Most) of the holes, this was not mentioned when booking, I would not have played otherwise

The actual greens we did get to use were dry and very bumpy/uneven, the course was not very well kept at all,

There were supposed to be 10 minute intervals between Tee offs, The steward overseeing the first Tee told us to Tee off as soon as the two in front had played their second shots on the first hole, we were also caught by the 2 ball behind us by the 3rd Hole and the 2 ball behind them by the 5th and had to let the 2 separate couples play through

Great layout

Hi. Been really happy both times I have at Dougalston. I booked to play at Carluke on the 6th December but the course was closed with no notification from the course or golf now. Last I checked I hadn’t been refunded. Can someone please look into this for me.
