Dalmuir Municipal Golf Course

A great wee course, despite the conditions, and local neds stealing a flag! Superb value for money. Will definitely be back

Really nice course but hole layout is quite hard to follow. The back 9 is really challenging. The main bad thing about the course is that people will just jump on as it is a public course so even when it’s busy people will just jump on and play holes randomly

We played a four ball game in slightly windy but pleasant conditions. The first few holes seemed nice; good greens and decent layout. However, once we moved to the next holes we passed from the sight of the club house. The course has appeared very quiet but this changed dramatically. We had been informed on arrival that there would be no one playing behind us. After the fourth hole a two-ball appeared behind us however the layout was confusing so we did not realise this. A single golfer appeared by the tee-box who was on his phone with a large joint in his mouth. Throughout the round he seemed to hit the ball on the same few holes. This was very distracting and was difficult to establish the speed of our game. The two-ball behind us had obviously just snuck onto the course at hole 4, this was a recurrent theme of the course. We let the two-ball play through and another man appeared from the bushes and began playing with them. Later on in the Rond they had invited two children to hit tee shots and now they were a 6-ball. This slowed us down considerably. This was a good course ruined by a number of people who had not booked tee-times and just wandered on. I would only play this course again very early morning to avoid the crowds.

Really challenging back 9, not only with course layout but with physical aspects of climbs into the bargain. Throughout the round you will use most clubs in your bag. Hopefully the sand wedge doesn’t need to come out. Great layout and great value for a challenging round. Only negative would be the debris left by inconsiderate golfers even though there were no bins to put rubbish in.

There was some work being done on drains at the 5th and 6th holes so there was some disruption to the normal routes between the 5th and 7th tees. Apart from this, the layout of the course was great. Since I last played 'The Myuni', which must be nearly 30 years ago, there have been some changes to paths on the steep slopes around the Wee Drap, Hill 60 and The Gully to allow trolleys. I elected to carry my bag for the full round but I really could have done with my motorised trolley, particularly on the steep Hill 60.
Pace of play was pretty good with hardly any waiting time on tees. Fairways were great with only a few bare patches here and there and the greens were in terrific condition, unlike my legs today.

The course looks stunning from the view point of the 16th tee and it was a real pleasure to play.

One small point, the card of the course now has no names for any of the holes, which is a pity as new visitors may not know the names like Sow's Back, Bell's Rest, Auchentoshan and Littleholm which really are part of the folklore of Dalmuir.

Firstly, I've given 2 stars overall because most of the greens are actually in quite good condition and played quite fast considering it had rained earlier in the week.

The rest is bad. Mud plagues the 5th 6th and 7th holes, and there is a trench currently dug right across the 7th fairway and most of the fairway is sludgy and muddy. I hit a lovely first shot just shy of the trench, but lost the ball as the mud just absorbed it. Completely defeats the point of playing, and to charge £10 to play is like the council taking the mick out of anyone that chooses to show up.

A disgrace, and I'll never be attending again.

Course was boggy about 9-10 holes at places greens where bumpy and full of pitch marks from another player’s not fixing not bad course

Very friendly welcome from the guys in the pro shop. First time playing Dalmuir so I was given a quick run down of the layout which was a great help. The condition of the course was magnificent and you won’t find anywhere better for the price. There’s a few challenging holes, in particular the 14th and 15th, which wrecked my score but definitely didn’t dampen my spirits. It was a cracking morning out. All the other golfers out on the course were very friendly and the pace of play throughout was great. A fabulous course I just wish I lived closer so I could play it more often. Go on give it a go it won’t disappoint!!

Great course with many a trying holes. I enjoyed it thoroughly and my ability was tested on nearly every hole. I really enjoyed the 12th, through to the15th especially.
