Dougalston Golf Club

I wish I had pictures to show how bad this course actually is, it has been neglected for some time by the looks of it. From when we saw the first tee box we knew how bad it was going to be.

From tee box to green the grass was all the 1 length, there was no distinction between tee boxes, fairways and rough.

The drainage on the course was shocking, We played in 22 degree heat with no rainfall previous to this and the course was still waterlogged at points??

Special mention for the health and safety hazard of an industrial laser engraver sitting outside the pro shop unattended, in full operation with no guards.

The pace of play was incredibly slow, they allowed to many golfers on the course.

Course holds the water and greens aren’t the best.

First 2 holes gently introduce you to this course. Layout is great but some challenging holes in particular when driving off from the tee due to surrounding trees. Well worth a visit. Unfortunately, a bit slow on the day as 5 kids grouped together so took a while to get past them.

Testing course with some amazing holes, greens were pacy but extremely well cut. Lost a few balls as there’s a lot blind shots but adds to the magic of the course.

Would 100% play again

Good course great value for money. Course conditions weren’t great few patches on fairways that held with water. Would come play here again

The Course is well worth playing guessing during the week. Great holes for everyone. Some nasty but fun if you accept them. You'll need a scouting round.

Played last weekend but the conditions weren't great after heavy rain, quit on 13th. Yesterday was a GLORIOUS day for golf, unfortunately they overloaded the course with everyone and anyone. Kids, neds, hackers... quit on 12th due to a four ball who really shouldn't play golf , no etiquette at all. We gave them their clubs left behind several times with no offer of letting us a 2 play through.

Tee boxes not inviting grass overgrown. Fairways overgrown hard to distinguish from second cut if any.

For the price ok. But I wont be back on a sunny Saturday. Shame because I like the course.

This is one of the best laid out and challenging courses in the west of Scotland, always has been. Alas it has virtually zero drainage on the fairways and when it rains, as it does frequently the course is extremely heavy underfoot for days afterwards. We played on the Wednesday and the heavy rain from the previous weekend made the trek hard work. Every ball needed to be moved for preferred lies. The course really shouldn’t have been open, but it was. The greens are always good and when cut close are really terrific, you just need to wade through puddles and mud to get there. Facilities off the course are really basic.

Good course. Greens were good considering the rain from the previous day. Course very wet underfoot but expected. Tees needed cut but still value for money.

Greeted by the Pro Alan, who was very welcoming and helpful.

Teed off pretty much on time, if not a couple of minutes early.

Course was great, considering the rain we had on and off in the days leading up to it. Directions around the course were pretty clear, thoroughly enjoying ourselves until the heavens opened.

We played through until it got to a point where the course was just saturated.

Played first 9 and the 18th, all would have been perfect if not for the torrential rain.

Was advised by Alan to phone up and give our details to finish the back 9.

So hoping to do that very soon.

Highly recommend course, pricing, staff and facilities all great. Will definitely visit again.
