Dodge ball central

More signage from the main road would be a massive help.

Make sure you have golf insurance when playing here, most of the course is very cramped and most fairways have a hard slope left or right, it’s like a game of dodge ball…not golf.

The greens are not in the best state either.

Neil in the pro shop was very helpful…nice bloke

Not very welcoming

In order to reach the car park and course, you have to negotiate a narrow track, with plenty of speedbumps that are not easily seen. I went to check in at the pro shop, but this was locked, and no indication how long for.. fortunately we've played the course once before in winter. I did eventually find the pro shop open, and was told he'd been having his breakfast! ( A simple sign on the door would have been helpful). We then found ourselves following 3 ball society guests. As we were a 2 ball, we are happy to pace ourselves - not too pushing, but keeping a good pace of play. We were approached half way round by Mr Captain who I believe were playing matchplay with another 4 ball behind him. He asked if we'd let both games through .. we approached the game in front of us, and they categorically refused to let them through ..This left my partner and myself feeling rushed from behind and constantly pushing the game in front. Quite often, other groups were on out fairway, having misfit their balls. This is probably due to the proximity of the fairways, greens and tees. Overall, I found the experience to be tarnished, on what was a very nice course, with well kept greens, and good fairways.

fair round

First round at Dunscar- not quite, but almost millionaire's golf, which is just as well, as it's quite compact and I would have been hoarse with the shouts of fore. It''s not a terribly long or difficult course (it wasn't windy on my visit) but there is some interest. The layout means it does feel a bit like going back and forth somewhat. Quite a few blind shots. But my only gripe really is that the greenkeepers seemed to repeatedly move from the green I was on to the next one. I had to wait for them quite a bit on a largely quiet course, and of course they had to wait for me to play my shot at times too.

It's not the best course in the area but nor is it the most expensive. Worth if it, like me, you enjoy the variety of playing different courses and get a decent green fee price.

Excellent for winter golf

Very clean course for winter golf. No mud whatsoever. Quite a few holes close and cross over so just keep an ear out for the fore’s. Overall great course and can’t wait to play it in the spring-summer

Thanks dunscar.

Great days golf

Although the pro shop was closed the members we met made us very welcome and followed up on the course with guidance. A few temp greens but this was accepted given the time of year and the wet conditions. Played quite a few years ago and the course has been improved considerably including new paths making life easier. Greens and fairways in excellent nick. Thoroughly enjoyed our round and a nice beer afterwards
