Niddry Castle Golf Club

The elevated tee off holes are great features on the course ,the fairways can be a bit narrow but they and the greens are well kept ,over all very good days golf enjoyed it

Played last year and each time challenging wether windy or wet or both bit of a work out on a few holes with the slopes going up or down but altogether will play again

This is an attractive course in a nice location but just didn't tick the boxes for me. The course is short and lot's of holes involved teeing across or over other fairways. The greens were extremely dry following the usually warm Scottish conditions and were so dry some of the greens were actually bare and grass-less. Needed some water badly.

It's one I wanted to like following the shining reviews and the staff were very friendly, but from a golf perspective not one I'll be looking to play again and probably wouldn't satisfy the low handicappers.

Played the course with my wife and had a great experience. Course in superb condition, but 3 or 4 holes are a bit "quirky". Chatted with the Head Greenkeeper before we started and he gave us lots of advice. Filled rolls before we played and soup and toasties when we finished - excellent quality and value for money. Will definately play again, but make more use of my Garmin.

Played this course my with old man last week, after searching the west of Scotland for a good deal.

We were sceptical at first as I had read some of the reviews and they were mixed.

Having played a lot of courses in Scotland as we tend to try new courses each time we play I can’t honestly recommend this course highly enough.

The first two holes really don’t do the rest of the course justice, but when you get past these you are in for a great round with magnificent greens and challenging holes.

Receptionist and clubhouse members were very welcoming and offered a great insight regarding the course before we set out.

I promise you minus the first two hole this is a course you will really enjoy.

Great course, bazaar layout in places. Course very busy but definitely recommend

What a belter. Properly hidden, parkland course played around the functioning Niddry castle, between bings & accross a substantial & well used burn. It’s pretty- every hole is like a postcard. Not long or particularly tough in layout with the risk / reward holes being mostly for show- play well & you could really go after the big greens. The only frustration is how good it could be. It’s pretty well kept, but if it was REALLY well kept I’d be queuing up for a membership. Greens are seriously fast, but don’t roll quite well enough to manage the speed- they spit approach shots off as well so you have to adjust your approach play to a more links-y style. This means fewer birdie putts & the speed means you have to lag first, which puts you at the mercy of the bobbles. Likewise, the meat of the course is well tended but some areas (service areas, like the area around the car park / clubhouse, bunkers in general) could do with a tidy up. There’s a plastic practice green so it’ll take first timers like me a few holes to adjust. Quite a few criss crossing holes and 2 holes with effectively one fairway - heading in opposite directions (!) so keep your wits about you. Despite these grumbles it’s a cracking course & cracking value. The starter was really clear & made sure I didn’t play the junior course by accident (I absolutely would have!) and the guys on the course were absolute gents. Was waved through a medal 3 ball & everyone helped me avoid getting lost! I will absolutely be back here - with some regularity! I hope that they get enough business to iron out these wrinkles. If this course got the same attention as Cardrona / gleneagles / Cameron House I’d play it over them.

First impressions as I came down the driveway and saw the clubhouse I thought that the course could be a bit shabby and rough.
However on entry to the clubhouse the staff were very helpful and friendly and the lady was a good advert for the club.she indicated that the greens were very good,firm and true and indeed she was correct as they were excellent and given that I was playing in November it was some doing.
The course is a mix of the Old and the new with the majority set in quite wide fairways with newly planted small trees so you can really open your shoulders and rip it.
The course is quite short and there are a number of drives and short irons.
It's well worth playing for the greens alone and I will visit it again

Had the course to ourselves, nobody else brave enough to go out due to weather. Rained for first 3-4 holes, windy throughout round but added to the challenge. Course soggy in places but to be expected for time of year and recent rainfall but course still playable. Greens held up well. Would play again.....a dry day would be good!
Can't comment on clubhouse as was shut by time we finished round.

Smashing course. It's short in length, but don't let that put you off. It's quirky layout will have you thinking all the way round.
Best greens I've played on all year, and I include my home course in that.

Niddry Castle is a quirky, short and challenging course. It is in good condition and is a bit of a hidden gem.

The off course facilities are basic and not up to the standard of the course. However, if you concentrate on the golf, you will have a good day.

Well layed out course with friendly staff, a nice few tricky holes to contemplate giving you an enjoyable round will defo play again

Tricky first nine and interesting seeing nine. Course in excellent order. Small clubhouse with excellent food. God value for money

Beautuful views, rather quirky but a little messy. A lot of overlapping holes and a fee silly holes. worth a visit, requires local knowledge to miss hazards. a bit overpriced eveb with discount (£14).

a beautiful course very friendly, a challenge for all handicap levels Green's are amazing. Nice clubhouse, with a warm welcome

Lovely course, tight opening 6 the course opens up and gives a longer open holes. Would recommend if asked
