Niddry Castle Golf Club
Het clubhuis is meer een kantine, maar voor de locals goed genoeg. De bewegwijzering is niet altijd even duidelijk en er is ook geen plattegrond op de scorekaart. Bij de par 3 derde hole stonden de teemarkers in de verkeerde volgorde, zodat niet direct duidelijk was welke kant je op moest. Voor £ 20 pp kan je ook niet alles verwachten. Het onderhoud van fairways en green…

A hidden gem and well worth find…

Deer Park Golf & Country Club
Nice tree lined parkland course with a nice "flow" to it. Greens in excellent condition for the time of year. With a reduced winter rate for visitors, it is great value for money.

Pumpherston Golf Club
After lockdown, it was great to get back out there swinging finally. Pumpherston was a fantastic golf course to blow away the cobwebs. The back nine dates back to 1895 and oozed class, especially the 13th (Par 3, The Saughs) and the 16th (Par 4, The Cooler). The latter’s green comprises a small island protected by bunkers. The front nine, built on the remnants of an old s…
