Dougalston Golf Club
Played On 06/10/2020Challenging but enjoyable
I booked this through golf now and played on my own. Due to the Covid restrictions the tee times were spaced out so no issues with pace of play. Overall a fantastic course in a beautiful setting. The course was in good condition even with the rain. Some of the holes were extremely tight and tree lined so accuracy is essential. I certainly lost a few balls but it didn't ruin my experience. I would definitely like to play again.

Played On 05/21/2018Flat, boring, slow, long grass
A very flat course with not many interesting holes at all. We booked this course on the day through tee off times and got a good deal although we were paired up with another couple even though there were plenty of tee times available. The pro at the shop reminded us just how good a deal we had when I asked about splitting us up. There were several groups of seniors ahead of us not one of them allowing the group behind to play through nor taking any measures to avoid slow play.
The course was in reasonable condition but the grass off the fairway was far too long so any missed fairway shots were heavily punished as it was near impossible to get any kind of contact on the ball. I would expect this if I was playing the US open championship but not a friendly game on a Monday morning.
