Rating 68.9

A round at the Newbattle Golf Club kicks off on St. Davids, a par 4 that measures 363 yards and requires a tee shot toward the left of the fairway to set up an approach to the protected green. The chance for big hitters to open up their games comes on the 13th hole, Lucky Dip, a par 5 that measures 566 yards. The hole requires a second shot that gets you around the dogleg for a mid- or short-iron to the green. The final hole at the Newbattle Golf Club, Hame, is a par 4 that measures 354 yards and requires a straight shot to stay inbounds for a mid- or short-iron to the green.

Winter Rules

In advance of our round there was nothing to advise that fairway mats were required either on the club website or golfnow. As guests we adhered to the rules but disappointing to see numerous players in other groups not doing so.
Enjoyed the course and would play again.

Immaculate course and some interesting challenges

I have rarely, if ever, seen a course and greens in such beautiful condition.
We played a Monday afternoon and almost had the course to ourselves which was great. We know the course but still enjoyed the more challenging holes and had a great afternoon.
