Well maintained course

This course on the outskirts of Dundee is a good visit. Staff were very helpful with information as I'd never played there before.
It is parkland and quite hilly in places so hire a buggy if possible. A round cost ?32 and buggies are ?20 (I think). I chose to walk.
There is only one pr 5 on the course which is a shame and the par 3's are all similar distances with ground contours the only challenge. There are also a couple of holes where tees cross over so keep vigilant but well signposted.
The houses along side a number of the holes is a bit daunting - for me at least. Avoid hooking left!
The 3rd hole has an 'internal' out of bounds with signage to instruct playing a driveable hole in two shots to avoid hitting onto the 2nd fairway. Other than that, the fairways were in good firm condition and greens were excellent (and quick in places).
There is a small pro shop and a 21 bay Toptracer driving range on site (100balls cost about ?11).
Scored 76 on this par 68 and intend going back to better it this week. The other course in the area is Downfield and that costs about ?80-90) so Ballumbie is well worth a visit if your in the area.

Nice open course, but a really awkward layout

Nice open course, but a really awkward layout. There are lots of holes crossing over each other, internal out of bounds areas to force you in a certain direction and points where you need to send a scout/lookout 75 yards ahead to see if you can tee off (there's signs that state this).
It feels like there should be a way to make the layout a lot less awkward and allow the course/play to flow (cause its got lots of space) and if that was done then it could be a 9 out of 10

Great day weather good and had good company on the course. Course standard has dropped but does look like they are redesigning course for the future

Seen the tees and greens in better condition than today to be honest. Decent condition overall but the greens had loads of pitchmarks on them. Tees were pretty bare too

Course was in good condition although the rough was a bit too long. Bunkers needed more sand as they were a bit hard to play out of.

The course is well kept through out with good facilities and friendly staff. My bad point would be that there are a few cross overs and hikes to the next tees, gets a little annoying.

Very good value in the low season. The course is better than many others I've played, and for half the price. Facilities are very good, both the pro shop and driving range.
