Avoid - disgrace

1. I understand it’s winter greens however some yellow tees were among grass ankle height. Impossible to tee off.

2. Heavy sand on greens

3. Some greens totally unplayable

4. The 17/18th hole had 6/7 kids and a father running on the green hitting golf balls in every direction.

Absolute Joke of a golf course. £15 is cheap for golf but too dear for this course.

Played this course today in a 4 ball for the first time and even though I shot a credible 79 it wasn't enjoyable.

Poor course lay out with no markers for blind shots or distance markers on fairways. Also, winter greens were a mixed bag and impossible to putt on

Add the above to the fact the course was sodden underfoot to an extent that I drove a ball down the middle of the fairways at 1 hole and it plugged resulting in lost ball!!

Even the locals were slating the place for the state of it.

Tee and green condition very poor on most holes

Most tee's were a mess, would have made sense to move them a few yards forward or back. 2 club lengths back was not far enough. Fairways very marshy considering very little rain recently. Greens bumpy and sandy. Pitch marks not repaired on many greens.

Nice course let down by poor drainage.

First time playing here and it’s a lovely start from the first over the pond. The course is really wet in places and drainage could be improved. Some parts of the course are seriously hilly but made it challenging.

Great morning for golf

Enjoyed the challenge of several holes on this course. I enjoyed the length of this course and the par 3s.

Pace of play was slow for me as behind a three ball and waiting at the same tee from hole 8 all the way round. Golfers need to be encouraged to let players through.

Staff friendly and helpful.

Had the best weather and was a good workout!

Good conditions, poor layout.

Played this for the first time on Sunday, really enjoyed the challenge of every hole (once we found it) There really needs to be better signs to direct you to the next tee once you've putted out. Me and my friend were wandering about on walking trails looking for the next tee. Can't fault the condition of fairways and greens were brilliant. Very challenging course and if you're not hitting straight then it's pretty much a lost ball.

Love the course

It's probably my 4th time playing at Douglaston. I like the course but.... I've notice that people play too fast and that it's probably related with the numerous unrepared marks on the greens. I ofter repair 2 or 3 any time i get on the green. Trash cans should be closed, animals keep eating the garbage and leaving the place a mess. And i find a lot of garbage around the course, but this is not a problem from who manages the course but from society. I've been visiting several places around Scotland and the amount of garbage people leave behind is unbelievably sad.

Dougalston golf course sad end??

First time playing dougalston golf course really enjoyed it good set up greens where nice and fast all round great course. Was actually contemplating joining it spoke to memeber of staff about monthly payments and so on then the member of staff said the course maybe getting cut from an 18 hole course to a 9 hole course to sell land off for housing development. Would be such a shame for this to happen to a really nice golf course. Fingers crossed it doesnt.

Good challenge for all players

Course was enjoyable to play with a good mixture of holes to challenge players of all abilities. The downside was the walking between finishing a hole and the next tee and the Courses general wetness underfoot. That said, staff were friendly and we all enjoyed playing the course for the first time. Will hopefully be back to play again.

Pleasantly surprised

First time I’ve played the course in about 20 years and pleasantly surprised with the ‘new’ layout and overall course condition, particularly given the heavy rain in the previous week.

I won’t leave it so long to play again.

Great course, friendly staff

Nice course layout, bit of a journey between some of the tree's but nothing to crazy. Course has a good mix of difficulty, so good option if you are looking for a challenge.

Staff were fantastic and really helpful
