Off the Links

When the wind blows, and you need a break from the exposed links, go to an excellent parkland course.
Flat greens allows for a great putting day. Watch out for the bunkers. Lots of them on this J. Braid designed layout. Doglegs left and to the right with some gourse and heather allowing for missed fayways.

Very Good. Course

Another enjoyable round at Belleisle. The course is well laid out with many interesting holes. Par 3’s are challenging but score able. The course is in good condition generally but with a little surface water. This was due to heavy sustained rainfall so understandable. I would highly recommend a visit to this gem of a course. One of my favourites.

Belleisle belter!

Great course layout and some really good holes, a bit muddy in places but expected due to weather. Full greens in play which was great for this time of year). Well worth a visit and great value for money. Will be back in the summer 👍🏻

Best Council Owned Course I’ve played on

Warm welcome and introduction to the course from the staff. Very well kept wide fairways and greens - the moderate wind made the course especially challenging on a few holes. Great fun and I’ll definitely be back. Brilliant value course not to be overlooked despite its many high profile ‘neighbours’.

Excellent course as usual

Conditions were a bit wet at times but course is still in great condition after the dry spell.
Wasn't aware of the 2nd and 3rd holes being worked on, only found out when clocking in.
Still well worth £30

Memorable Experience to say the least

The course is very cool and way worth the money. The amenities are top notch and there are 36 holes to boot. All the golf you can handle! My 8-year-old and I played twice and it was really good for both of us while on holiday from the US. Saw some good shots too. See video...

Great course even on bad weather day. Course was in good condition and greens looking good for season. Only draw back would be some directional arrows to tees for guests to follow.

Most enjoyable round for months

Was an absolute pleasure to play coarse . Condition of coarse was great . Greens were brilliant all running the same pace . Fairways were great too well cut . Plenty sand in bunkers . The grade of cut from aprons around greens were fantastic too .was great to be able to enjoy the coarse as if it were mid season. Hoping to play it again this week .greenkeepers deserve applause for job they have done especially this time of year .

Great course, wide open, reasonably flat with light tough in the winter

Great course and in good condition, especially as it was winter. The rough was light but I heard it gets tough in the summer. Greens were in great condition but rather slow but that really helped my game.
Really recommend the course, it was my first time playing it and I’ll no doubt be back.
Nice little practice facility, chip and put, bunker practice and a nice little pro shop. The restaurant had good coffee but the food was still half frozen when they brought it to the table.

Lovley course in outstanding condition

Myself and my mate played 3 different courses during the week and Belleisle was the last one...... we definitely saved the best till last! The course was in excellent condition, the greens were the quickest we played on all week, it was the driest course we played all week and considering the weather recently the greenkeepers have done an amazing job.

The staff were very friendly and explained the course well as we had never played it before.

Overall myself and my mate enjoyed the course that much that we both signed up for memberships that day. I can't wait to see how quick the greens are in the summer now.
