Woll Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Woll offers a testing and very enjoyable round over a eighteen hole course of outstanding natural beauty. The par 70 parkland course follows the gentle contours of the Ale valley and is surrounded by mature trees. The Woll burn comes into play on a number of holes as does the pond at the aptly named Pond hole. Situated on the natural valley bottom the sub soil is sand and gravel ensuring the course drains very well and is playable all year round. It is kept to the highest standard to make your game enjoyable.
Two holes which will demand your attention are the 6th, The Island, and the 8th, The Thief's Road. The Island is a short par 4 which has a right angle dog leg at about 210 yards and then requires a shot over the Woll burn to the green which is only a wedge away if you put your tee shot in the right place. The Thief's Road also dog legs to the right, but at 571 yards it needs three well struck shots to get home.
The course makes an enjoyable outing for golfers of all capabilities and all are welcome. The terrain is very gentle and there is an abundance of wildlife in the valley.

Well worth the visit
Recommend by a short handicap golfer this course did not disappoint. Received a good welcome.Varied holes set in a beautiful valley to the south of Selkirk. Greens had a steady pace and course in fine condition..

"Borders hidden gem"
Made very welcome from the outset. Lovely breakfast served before tee time. Lunch and Dinner also served. Food looked amazing.
Course itself was in immaculate condition. Easy walking parkland course with stunning views.
Can't wait to return.
Best greens!
Woll was recommended by a friend who last played there 10 years ago - she was correct! Best course of our Scottish Borders week! Friendly welcome from staff, course was fantastic, members were friendly and welcoming considering England play Scotland tonight
Excellent Afternoon's Golf
This is shorter course than I am used to as a member of a Championship Course with yardage of around 7200. The Course was in great condition but local knowledge would certainly have saved a stroke or two in places. A map on the score card would be helpful or plaques at the tees showing the hole layout. Not everyone uses a GPS map on their smartphone!! The greens are small and require a good accurate approach shot. The course is not festooned with bunkers and if you play accurately a good score is readily achievable. Some of the holes are interesting playing from elevated tees to small greens on Par 3s. All in all it was a good afternoon's outing. Very enjoyable and only 1 ball lost!
