Dougalston Golf Club

2nd time playing the course and possibly the last. In fairness, we played in 27 degree heat, however the amount of midges, flies, bugs etc was completely unbearable. The walk from every green to every tee is long & through woodland with tall trees which then surround the tee boxes leading to a lot of time spent getting bit.

The course layout is actually very interesting but if you miss a fairway by a foot good luck finding your ball. The grass that gets cut doesn’t get removed so the rough is full of grass cuttings.

Both of these are a real shame as the greens are in good condition, the staff are great and the small pro shop is well stocked.

The course was in good condition some areas had under foot water , the lay out was good and the greens were great condition.

Excellent course but certainly not for the fainthearted it's very long , other than that we'll presented

Amazing layout, such a test. So many great holes and was in good condition when I played.

Really lovely course - challenging and well set out

We have played this course previously and it was a decent standard but now it needs a bit of TLC, on most holes you are either in a fairway or deep rough with no 2nd cut in between . It has the potential to be amazing but unsure if the gym it's connected to care enough.

It was a disappointing start when there was no one at the start, the shop was closed so we had no scorecards to complete during our round.we had to scramble about to find changing and toilet areas and it's only lucky we had played before so we knew where the 1st tee was.

Some holes on this course are good,but in general course in poor condition.Paths are treacherous walk,no buggies would not recommend.

We played last night and course was quiet. Had played before but a long time ago and only remembered a few holes.

Good layout and the course in good condition. Greens a little slower than the course I play regularly. However, ran well and maybe were just due a cut.

A lot of tight holes with trees to either side and a few holes with water features. Suits a straight hitter - that is for sure!

Would definitely return later in the summer.

Nice Course unfortunately give yourself 5hrs to complete it. Random golfers appearing out of nowhere. 4 balls with one set of clubs. Tee times are non existent.

This captivating course, set against the backdrop of lush, towering trees, offers a thrilling yet demanding experience for all players. The winding fairways and meticulously designed holes test your skills at every turn, leaving no room for error. The serene beauty of the woods enhances the challenge, making this course not just a test of ability, but a journey through nature's splendor.

I’ve been playing course for years now. Few holes have been made a bit easier but still a challenge. Lot of holes need to be fairly accurate. Some nice par 3s. 11th is a signature par 3, downhill and over water. It’s a good walk round. On decent day you’ll enjoy round and walk.

Issue is with some players unfortunately:

- lazy at putting divots back, fixing greens

- slow play

On the latter, the perfect example was a fourball in front of us two weeks back on 12th. They must have been playing a scramble. One boy ran off from midway to around green. 2 had hit. One stood for ages then randomly decided to hit. Th other lad runs back, drops a ball and hits. Absolute shenanigans. Feel it needs better enforced and more education ie stop mincing about looking for balls. Play when you can in a group, no need to wait.

All round, it’s a good day out though.

Fantastic value for money- only thing that could be improved is the signage between holes.

Greens were still to be cut following the winter, were hard to putt consistently on.

Course layout could do with better sign posting but the course has a few tricky holes and would play again in the summer once dried out and mown

Tough course very narrow but fun to play with friends and others
