Pleasant inland course set within mature mixed woodland as an integral part o the foothills in a Country park. Lovely displays of rhododendron in season and a feature hole the 9th where golfers must hit over the river valley to land on the green.

Great wee course that will test all levels of golf has a burn that crosses all the holes apart from the 4th and the river almond cuts across the par 3 9th can be wet at times but then again it is Scotland. Cafe is situated next to the reception area and driving range is 200 yds from reception area for those high handicapper's remember to bring plenty of golf balls.

I've played the course three times this summer.Surprisingly dry considering.Continues to be well tended and has an imaginative layout.I just wish that I could get under 3 over par on the first.

When we were wee, we called it Lady Bailey's. Course is well kept with good width forgiving fairways, great for an evening. Could fill in the burn at some of the holes though

Not a bad course, very long and wet . Problems with drainage usually limit season. You must try this course if only for the ninth.....downhill par three . We call it Augusta Polkemmet.

Tricky little course for a nine hole. Plenty of nice little traps to catch the unwary golfer.
