Mar Hall Golf & Spa Resort - Earl of Mar Golf Course

Winter greens and tees in play so wasn’t great. Course was looking ok for this time of year but definitely needs some love to get it back into shape.

Unfortunately a poor review but nothing to do with the course like everywhere else course was at mercy of mother nature and she wasnt nice on the day had a course inspection at 12.00 and opened course even though majority of corse was frozen over i have played this course once before in better weather and enjoyed my round that day and the scenery around the course is breathtaking will definitely be back in spring for another round and in better weather highly recommend giving it a go

Absolute cheek charging premium rate for a course that has been allowed to degrade to this extent. Owners should be embarrassed.

While all greens were being cored, there was no pre warning of this.

Winter greens and there were 5/18 holes without a pin placement. Where there was a pin placement, this was on the actual fairway, which was not maintained.

A shocking state.

Nice golf course found it quite long but Mar Hall in administration and consequently green staff cut to minimum which can be seen from the neglected tees in poor condition and bunkers with tufts of grass all over them and hard packed sand. Shame really as nice course

Uncut greens , bare tee boxes , fairways were good but again uncut in places bunkers were green with weeds nice layout off course amenities were average at best , beutifull setting this place could be so much better if maintned to any sort of level

Having played Mar Hall on a number of occasions we played again last night. Firstly the layout of the course and it's location are stunning. Unfortunately, the hotel and golf club have went into administration and it looks like the up keep of the course was one of the first things to be cut back. The tees are in very poor condition and the bunkers are a mess with grass pushing through the sand on a number and bunkers not racked. The fairways and greens were okay, fairways looked like they haven't been cut to their usual depth and the greens although smooth were very slow which i have never seen before. For the money we paid (£37.50 pp) I wouldn't be in a rush to return as there are other courses in the area in better condition and nowhere near as expensive. So sad to see such a great layout in such decline.

Wasn’t expecting much on a Monday morning so wasn’t disappointed. 1 staff member on, though to be fair she was really friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. Course in not too bad condition considering we didn’t see any green staff. Greens very good, layout excellent, bunkers though were badly needing raked. They’re very big US style so I could see the problem, you’d need an army of green keepers to keep them in shape. Me and my playing partner decided to give ourselves a free drop out of them as most were unplayable. Fairways badly needing cut but overall not too bad. A little overpriced at £60 pp considering the conditions but would be nice to play before a competition when in tip top condition. Heard it was up for sale with membership dwindling badly so not surprised maintenance levels have dropped. No food served in clubhouse on a Monday so we didn’t have lunch. We had an added bonus of spotting the Waverley sailing doon the water.

Picked a simply perfect day to play Mar Hall. Course was quiet, just the tiniest of breezes and around 20C. Superb. Arrived just before tee off time maybe a few minutes later than I should have but the lady at reception was unbothered and told me to take my time. On the first tee met a club member (Mike) who played nine holes with me as I was on my own. Excellent company to add to my enjoyment.

The course itself has a wonderful setting by the River Clyde aside the Erskine bridge, The fairways were in great nick however some teeing areas were really quite poor to look at. Greens as well, though not terrible could be a lot better. So sad to see this because with the course layout it has the potential to be a cracking top notch course. It is quite lengthy so presents a challenge to shorter hitters like myself but is also fairly flat so is manageable for most to walk I would imagine.

Having paid £33.99 that wouldn't put me off playing the course again. So all in all it's a YES from me.

Don’t know where to start. Don’t play this course. We paid £50 and I’ve seen the greens at Vikingar putting in Largs, in better condition. Tee boxes and bunkers were in an outrageous state with little to no grass, unraked sand and big stones all over the place. The course condition, overall was an utter disaster. It needs closed and given substantial TLC. An utter mess and to see Erskine GC next door with nice crisp greens and bunkers was heartbreaking. Play any other course but here.

Money grabbing and nothing else. What a disappointment.

Had great expectation from good things I'd heard about course. Every tee was in a deplorable condition, little grass. The greens were very poor. Fairways were well kept. Stuck behind a corporate day out - 2hr 45min to do 9 holes!!!! Nearly packed it in at that point - instead played the 1st nine again.

This course has been well designed and has huge potential given it’s beautiful setting. Unfortunately it is in poor condition and is badly run.

The member of staff in the pro shop was rude and distracted and was more interested in charging Golf Now for our green fees than engaging with customers/guiding towards facilities.

Condition- The grass in the tees is dying/dead and the tees don’t get filled in or seeded. It looks like the tees don’t get watered. The fairways are largely OK but need cut more frequently. There was too much sand in many of the bunkers. They were largely raked but many of the bunkers were without rakes. The greens were bumpy, slow and had moss through them. Many were shaded by large trees with little grass coverage. The condition was a real shame as it has the potential to be a great course. There is a feel of it being under funded.

Before we started, were warned that our tee time would be delayed by a corporate group and that it may be slow. We were not prepared to be the best part of 3 hours for the front 9. Eventually we walked off after 12 holes, 3 hours and 45 mins after teeing off. There was no management of the pace of play, with the consequence being the round probably taking in the region of 5.5 hours today. Really disappointing, and even the £33 special offer price seemed expensive in the circumstances.

The boy in the pro shop was very helpful and the course has a great layout but the bunkers are very poor need raked and the weeds removed the greens need watered along with the tees

Had played in April 23

Very good Course conditions at that time

Greens currently bland and not true

Fairways not taken care off

Good course with good variety of challenging holes

Lovely day and great round. Greens were in good condition and the pace of play was good also. Looking forward to playing again

Course is reasonably laid out however I found the lower half next to the Clyde very wet underfoot considering no rain for several days. The top half was in good condition however the tees need a lot of work and are very poor. A good value round though.

Golf course was in good condition for time of year buy too many four balls on course play was very slow
