Dougalston Golf Club

Great course, with a good layout and challenging with its requirement to keep it in play on the tight holes. Thoroughly enjoyed it, only criticism is the water logging. We played on a clear sunny day but the course was still soaking on the majority of holes from the day before, clearly they have drainage issues but it didn’t distract from a good round. Will be back

Course was looking great & playing well & not too wet even after the previous nights heavy rain.

Greens were fast .

Played there for the first time last week. First green was terrible but other greens were in good conditions. Tight course with a bit of difficulty to navigate through if you’ve not played there before. I was taken back when I looked up after putting tee down on hole 3 or 4 to find this massive dog trotting towards me! And that became the theme thereafter. Won’t play there again. Didn’t have much interaction with staff apart from being greeted outdoors to confirm my name and showing me way to first tee. No scorecard was given due to COVID-19.

The manager Steven in particular was extremely welcoming upon our arrival and assisted us with trolleys.

Would recommend.

Course was in poor condition due to the rain. 3 temporary greens were in place. For the price paid should of been better.

On arrival at the car park we were greeted by a friendly staff member who explained all we needed to know as first time visitors to the course. Also given the current covid situation we obviously couldn’t use the facilities prior or after our round, so it was straight to tee.

The course itself is neat and narrow so if you’re a high handicapper take a few extra balls with you as there’s plenty areas to lose some, even for strong golfers. Other things of note from our round today was that some of the greens hold a fair amount of standing water if there has been a lot of rain the previous evening or day, so we had issues with putting on a number of them. Other than this it was a thoroughly enjoyable day and we will certainly be back.

Great golf course amazing layout and can’t wait to get back would definitely recommend it for everyone great value for money as well.

I booked this through golf now and played on my own. Due to the Covid restrictions the tee times were spaced out so no issues with pace of play. Overall a fantastic course in a beautiful setting. The course was in good condition even with the rain. Some of the holes were extremely tight and tree lined so accuracy is essential. I certainly lost a few balls but it didn't ruin my experience. I would definitely like to play again.

Had a great time at this course 1st time but will definitely be back and highly recommend

I struggled to make my mind up on this course.

I booked through golf now and despite a tough covid19 lockdown situation the staff were friendly and hopeful with no problems with our booking.

Some holes are fantastic, dramatic views, interesting layouts, clever bunkering - the back 9 is far superior to the front 9.

Other holes are stupid and feel just like a route to another part of the property with no thought to the hole itself.

My opinion needs context, I’m a 27 hcp, it was pouring with rain and I didn’t know the course. I’m sure they’ve all influenced my opinion.

The course needs hole maps, too many blind tee shots where you have no idea where you’re going. Too many tight tree lined tee’s. But some holes are fantastic (12 in particular) and the course was in great condition.

If you like tree lined parkland courses you wont be disappointed, this one is very picturesque.

Very tight in places which sees some good shots land in bad spots, so it is tough and frustrating at times but I'd definitely recommend.

Booked a round via golf now over a week ago, got the confirmation email. drove to the club to be met with a hostile member of staff, he told me I didnt have a booking. He wouldnt even check the confirmation I had in my hand.

No attempt to help or look at getting another tee time booked.

Why bother when other clubs would welcome the business rather that treat visitors like an inconvenience.
