Hilton Park Golf Club - The Allander Course
Rating Snapshot
About
The Allander Course at Hilton Park Golf Club offers 18 holes over 5,487 yards with a 69 par, and shows off its signature hole early: The par-4 fifth hole plays to 372 yards and goes by "Burncrooks." It features a slight dog leg right toward a sunken two-tiered green protected by the Allander burn on three sides, all of which lie out of bounds, making it a tough hole.
James Braid designed the Allander Course at Hilton Park Golf Club way back in 1927 for a 1928 opening. The golf course remains mostly faithful to his vision. The only is that exception of a bit more parkland than moorland because of a recent tree-planting campaign, both to augment the golf course's character and protect the golf course from increased rainfall due to climate change.
The Allander Course at Hilton Park Golf Club is the shorter of the golf club's two golf courses, but management says that just makes it all the more attractive to low-handicap golfers and women.

Great wee course
Good mix of holes
Par 5 11th was my favourite
Bit hilly for the less able
But great value
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Would have gave it 5 stars but was November so was nt at its best
Good course- horrendous pace.
I managed to catch the course on a cracking day. So not sure how much this has to do with the experience.
Got course on time, playing just on my own. Shop pro said I had a couple of members in front of me but should be an ok distance apart. Just wait a few mins and see if the bell goes.
Waited, heard nothing, teed off and almost immediately caught up with the members who were on the green.
At no point was there an offer to play through or an acknowledgement I was behind them playing at a quicker pace.
Or any increase in pace from them.
Nor at any point in the blind summits (think there was 4) did they ring the bell to let me know they had cleared the fairways.
Got to the 9th hole at about 2hours and 10 mins and decided to go call it there.
Lovely course, beautiful setting. Really enjoyed the layout but horrendous pace of play, lack of just general golf etiquette was disappointing.
Nice little Course
Played today, course in good condition although a little wet under foot.
A few tough testing holes.
Clubhouse staff were friendly and very welcoming to visitors
Great course
Highly recommend warm welcome great course perfect weather and a nice pint with the members in the 19th will definitely be back love the place have also played the Hilton course which is excellent also
Brilliant day
The weather helps but the Allander course was very enjoyable to play with a good layout and lovely holes that had been well maintained. Staff were very welcoming on arrival with nice sitting out space when we finished with friendly bar staff.
Class wee course but greens were aerated
Cracking wee course, really loved it, nice for most handicappers though plenty of blind shots but you get used to it.
Slightly gutted the greens were aerated but then assume they never told us as we wouldn't have booked.
Probably back again in better weather.
All in all recommend.
Little changed
Know the course well as used to be a member >10 years ago. Everything was absolutely fine except the member group in front never once rang a fairway free bell and anyone who knows the course knows that there are 6 bells on the front 9, more on the back 9 but by then the group had managed to move away from us because we were standing on tees waiting for bells! Maybe that was their master plan all along? Totally ignorant but then I remembered why I never much liked the place.
Greens need cut
The greens were horribly slow but due to it being early in the season wasn’t that fussed as just seemed as they were yet to be trimmed for the season other than that really enjoyed the round.
First time played
Found course easy to navigate good condition and for someone who has just got back to playing golf in the last few months thouroughly enjoyed it
Great!
Weather was great and the course was in great shape! Staff was extremely friendly. Will be back.
Lovely
Love playing this course, fantastic condition and some lovely score-able holes,. Do prefer the front 9 though
