Interesting course but slow greens
Very interesting layout with driver not really being an option on many holes but others playing very long like the 243 yard par 3. Good condition overall but could tell straight away that the greens needed a cut which unfortunately meant they were quite slow. A few tee boxes could have been trimmed too. I’d recommend a visit though if you’re after a mid price course.Reviewer Rating

Outstanding
Before we went someone referred to it as 'the Augusta of the North', they weren't wrong. Fantastic course, beautiful condition and a great test of golf. It was also one of the most friendly and welcoming we've visited for a long while.Reviewer Rating

Augusta of the North
The Hirsel is one of those locations that quietly and competently garner a reputation as "One you simply must play sometime". This is well deserved as the club, course and welcome are spot on. The real difference though is despite us being a society of "average high handicappers" the warm and positive response from members out on the course was first class. Go, play and enjoy it.Reviewer Rating

The Hirsel Gc is a fantastic course in excellent condition despite it only being early April. I have played here several times and never been disappointed. It is a very picturesque course with a stream coming into play on several holes. and quite challenging. The greens are very good .All the staff from the Pro to the clubhouse are so friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be back again later in the year

This is the first time I have played the Hirsel in over two years, and yes I wasn't disappointed, It was in excellent condition and I would gladly play this course again and recommend it to anyone. The only draw back was that there wasn't any food when we came off as the kitchen had closed at six o'clock and the bar would have been closed as well if a party had not been still in when we came off the course.

Short but enjoyable 18-holer with mature, tree-lined fairways. Greens were a bit bobbly in places. Some picturesque holes with the tricky 7th over the burn and the attractive 18th the pick.

Played here in Summer 2012 - enjoyed the course with a really good mix of hole layouts to give you enough challenge. Really peaceful setting. I really liked the Par 3's all different despite putting into the water from a green at the 7th - greenkeeper had the pin in a very tricky position.
The course is undulating in parts and those who have trouble walking should def take a buggy.
Only downside was that the greens, although not the worst, could have been a bit better.
The clubhouse facilities are good, with showers and bar / restaurant.
The proshop is relatively small but has what you would expect at a course.
Will be back
