Cally Palace Hotel
Played On 04/18/2017Well Worth It
I got the impression this is more a hotel than a Golf Club/Course. There is no clubhouse as such, and no members, however the Hotel reception staff know there stuff when it comes to welcoming golfers. The course was in really good condition however there are a couple of long walks between greens and the next tee box, all of which are quite tranquil. That said we really enjoyed the layout, some short par 4's and a longer par 5, and the water hazards come in to play very well. The views of the property are enjoyed from several greens, and the natural beauty with all its wildlife are something I've not witnessed before in such abundance! Red Kites, Buzzards, and wild Deer all viewed very closely. There are some lovely trees on the property that also come in to play. There were only the green staff on the course when we played. I don't want to do the green staff injustice as they do a great job, I just feel if the Hotel/Owners really threw themselves behind the "golf course" they'd be on to a winner. We really enjoyed the round and for the price it's well worth a visit if you are in the area.
Wigtownshire County Golf Club
Played On 04/16/2017Great Course. Great Value.
I play this course a couple of times a year when I'm holidaying in the area. I always find the course to be in fantastic condition (winter and summer). It plays many different ways depending on the weather, but on a nice day it's a glorious place to be. There's only one par 5 and one long par 4 so I wouldn't class it as a long course, but all the holes are a really good test. It's a pretty easy walking course, with some lovely views to be had over Luce Bay. The staff and members are all very friendly, and the food and drinks on offer in the clubhouse are always well received. It has a good practice area and a very good practice putting green. Can't wait to get back out there!!
