Balmore Golf Club
Played On 02/12/2022Great course in bad winter weather
I love Balmore. A course that welcomes the nomad golfer, a challenging varied golf course without being crazy long. It's quirky, the layout messes with you, it's an endless puzzle and you can only appreciate it after playing it a few times.
We played on a wet February morning, some of the ground was soft and slippy. The summer greens were on but it was February so don't expect too much. A great morning out and because of the price we didn't feel bad finishing a few holes early because we were soaked through! Love it and will be back
Dougalston Golf Club
Played On 06/04/2020A course of two halves
I struggled to make my mind up on this course.
I booked through golf now and despite a tough covid19 lockdown situation the staff were friendly and hopeful with no problems with our booking.
Some holes are fantastic, dramatic views, interesting layouts, clever bunkering - the back 9 is far superior to the front 9.
Other holes are stupid and feel just like a route to another part of the property with no thought to the hole itself.
My opinion needs context, I’m a 27 hcp, it was pouring with rain and I didn’t know the course. I’m sure they’ve all influenced my opinion.
The course needs hole maps, too many blind tee shots where you have no idea where you’re going. Too many tight tree lined tee’s. But some holes are fantastic (12 in particular) and the course was in great condition.
