Golf course review of Winterfield Golf Club

Unfortuntely we played the course on a day when the conditions were terrible - extremely high winds! The course was decent, thought the greens were in good nick. 8 Par threes though!

Golf course review of Winterfield Golf Club

This is a wee cracker of a course. Front nine look simple, but, I can assure you they are NOT. I have played this every year for the last 4 or 5 on my annual trip up to Dunbar.

Average length of all 8 par 3's is 205 yds, but 2 of these are much shorter at 140 yds – the real average is nearer 230. This real average makes the holes in question a much sterner test of golf. The greens are real devils to read, especially the back nine.

True, the rough can be treacherous, but we all know the answer - don't go in it!

If I lived there, I would join as a member! Alas, I do not!

Golf course review of Winterfield Golf Club

It's a short course, which suits my game-the first is a Par 3 witha carry of 230yds over a gorge-don't worry you can bail out.
Thankfully they've cut back the previously penal rough, it's a holiday course, this makes it much easier and also enjoyable as you don't spend the round trudging through the long grass. The scenery is magnificent, Bass Rock, The Law and over to Fife. The day I played it was incredibly calm but as it's on a point the wind will blow and create a challenge.
Favourite hole is the 14th, par3 180+ with the shore, rocks all the way down the left and a steep green-I bailed out to the right-fearty!
Never been in the clubhouse so can't comment.Greenfeesavers as usual!

Golf course review of Winterfield Golf Club

First hole is a cracker rest of the course is not as daunting and a good mix between parkland and links, some fantastic views over the Firth of Forth.

Golf course review of Winterfield Golf Club

The first at this course is one of the best opening holes I've ever encountered. The rest of the course is not exactly demanding but is a great mix of Parkland and links. If the wind blows and the rough is uncut, make sure you have plenty of balls with you.
