Needs water

Staff were great,
Great course layout,
Scenery fantastic....

BUT - Greens were scorched and badly needed water.

That being said, still a fantastic course and somewhere I wouldnt hesitate to play again

Belleisle Park - Seafield

Greens off - pointless.

So....... no mention on the GolfNow or Golf South Ayrshire websites of winter greens, etc etc. Prior to booking.

Arrive to be told its ALL WINTER GREENS - But they can move us to Belleisle...... which is also ALL WINTER GREENS. Pointless. So stuck to Seafield.

Ground not frozen at all with only some surface moisture - and not once did ground staff go round to assess putting full greens on.

All 18 greens were absolutely playable. The course as a whole would have been playable and no reason for these measures.

Feel like £15 was too much for what turned out to be a glorified game of pitch & putt for the most part. Feel robbed.

If I could make a complaint or felt someone would listen, I would.

Would I play in the summer? Definitely, great wee track.
Slightly cold? Not worth the risk of a 70min drive.

Thanks for that, I should have played somewhere else

6 ball ruined it

Firstly let me say - great wee course, tricky holes, greens lightning fast and plenty lumps and bumps as a links course should have.
Staff great in clubhouse. Cant complain, lovely wee place.

Actually a brilliant tester, dont let the yaradage fool you.

**IMPORTANT BIT** - A 6-BALL WERE OUT AT 9.30 OR SO ON A SATURDAY MORNING. THEY HELD UP EVERY GROUP BEHIND THEM, SO MUCH SO THAT OUR 3 BALL TOOK JUST OVER 4 HOURS TO COMPLETE A SHORT COURSE. NO-ONE TO CHECK OR STOP THIS. DISGRACEFUL WASTE OF TIME.

Would I play again? Definitely...... but i'd phone first to ensure no 6 ball would be out in front

UN-BEEEEE-LIEVABLE!!

Before I start, what tells you how great this place is, is that I probably played my worst scoring round of the year, lost about 6 balls....... AND STILL LOVED IT!!!

Check-in...... Great welcome as soon as we got out of the car, and were given a "whats-what and where" of the facility.

Staff and facilities...... professional, friendly staff, immaculately clean facilities and well appointed.

Course...... unbelievable condition. Beautiful layout, immaculate tees, fairways and greens. Greens run true but wow...... soooo fast! Fun to play but frustrating as missed a few pars I should have had (my fault!).
Beautiful, beautiful course.

Overall...... I'd go back any day of the week. An absolute joy to play.

Fun at the Fullarton

This is an ideal course to build confidence on links as it isnt too long.

Myriad of differing holes makes it always interesting, easy to walk, great greens, can still punish wayward shots though.

Good fun and would recommend to anyone as way to spend a morning.

Best its looked in a long time!

Used to be a member here and the drainage was awful......

This time up, course looked miles better, greens were well kept and good speed. Always a challenging course.
Staff are excellent.

No hold ups, easy to play at own pace.

Major bug bear though is that the deep rough needs a proper cut though. If your ball ends up in it just now, you're as well teeing up again.

Recommend the course though, good fun!

Excellent on a Hot Deal

First off, this is a very flat course, very easy on the legs.

Very well kept, I played on a roasting hot day.
Outlay is easy to follow, each green leads right onto next tee, with no trekking in between.
Greens immaculate, if a little slow, but nothing id complain about. Few tees had mats which is a major bugbear of mine.
Seems to be as well, theres very little rough. Theres big fairways, couple yards of rough, then absolute guff (just overgrown forestry/weeds) which is nigh on impossible to find a ball in.

Wouldnt pay the £44 they usually ask, I got it for £18 and it was worth that at least.

Very friendly staff, pro good as well.

Would highly recommend a visit

Dangerous Darley!

This course does 2 things....

1 - makes you feel foolish as its very difficult

2 - makes you feel like a tour pro with 1 good shot.

Its a course you will rarely to never find in bad condition. Greens are superb.

Staff are great and welcoming. Members always help rather than criticise. Id pay to play here anytime

If it Rains, dont bother

I've played this course a few times hoping it gets better as Im local to it.

To be honest, could be good with proper drainage. Could be, but isnt. That simple.

Great bar the 5 ball in front

Staff are very friendly and easy to deal with. Great facilities if you need to use them.

Course is always in excellent condition. Played in a pretty windy day and still enjoyed it so that says it all.
Greens are brilliant, courses well looked after and always clean.

Could do with someone out checking pace of play etc as there was a group making up a 5-ball (yep a 5 ball!!!!!) A few groups in front of us and it caused a 5/10minute wait on every tee pretty much.

Wont stop me playing again, but this nonsense needs better management as it really affected the round

Great course but the hills are killers

Staff are excellent, as are the greens and 95% of fairways (only one had been chopped up and i could see the player doing it ahead of me!)

Only thing about this course is it becomes more of a hillwalk than a golf course after a while and i consider myself relatively fit, even my calves were burst after this

Dont waste your TIME

Me and my dad played this Saturday afternoon. Pace of play was abysmal with 1 group holding up at least 6 (we were 3 groups behind).
No-one out to check this and it added at least an hour to the round as we waited best part of 10mins on every hole.

Course condition..... its been hacked to bits in a few places, its marshy even though there was no rain for 4 days beforehand, and the greens were patchy (not to mention bunkers like builders sand!)

The only reason for 2 stars is that
1 - the old woman in the clubhouse was nice
2 - the course would be good if drainage worked properly

Massively under-rated

Im telling you, this is a massively under-rated course. Might be a council course, and holes 5 to 8 dont hold up well to a lot of rain.......but by God is it a difficult course. Not an easy hole on it, they're doing work to make it better, but its already a belter.

Try it, you'll enjoy it.....
