Scary

Good Course ruined on the back 9 by the criss crossing narrow fairways. Balls being shot allover the place. My friend had one land within 3ft of where he was stood on the fairway. and several other balls coming quite close. Pace of play was very slow which caused alot of hold ups. Had 2 women hitting balls within short distances of us who must of also got frustrated with the delays. Took 4hrs 45mins in a buggy as a 2 ball just shows how long the delays where. Pro shop and staff very friendly.

Top Heathland Course

Dunscar is a great heathland course, played on the side of the Pennines, there's hardly ever a flat lie.
It's a great challenges of golf, some lovely par 3's, a good mixture of par 4's & 5's. Greens looked superb, but were heavily sanded today, which made them a little bit slow, but they'll be superb in the summer.
The addition of the pond in front of the third tee is definitely a good move, it was a bit of an eyesore before.
Well worth a visit for some good golf & outstanding views.

Good challenge

A really nice moorland course with a great variety of holes.
Be aware of the weather as there can quite often be a morning mist/fog that hangs around a bit.
It's picked out across the bottom of the pennines, so there doesn't seem to be a flat lie on the course.
The first hole a short par 4 lulls you into a false sense of security, but its amazing how often the farmers field out of bounds tight left gobbles up your ball.
It's a superb course & very often very competitively priced on Golf Now.
Well worth a visit.

Top heathland course

Dunscar is an excellent heathland course & is always in great condition.
It's a challenging track woven across the lower Pennine hills, which means you rarely have a flat lie. Therefore position off the tee can be crucial at times.
The rough isn't overly penal, but the coarse heathland grass can make it difficult to get out of at times.
The greens are superb, flat & true, even if some of them are like putting on the side of a hill.
The welcome is always friendly, all in all a great experience.

Cracker

Dunscar is a little cracker. It's up & down a bit, with a number of holes on the side of slopes, but it's a cracker. There are a handful of blind drives, but there's nothing too ominous on the other side, so you can go for the marker post.
It's tight in a couple of places with OOB markers, as I found to my cost!
There's hardly a flat putt on the course, but the greens are superb. Bunkers excellent too.
Top this off with great views, friendly staff & members & all for £10 at 7am on Golf Now, what's not to like?

First visit

Played on Sunday 7th July 2019. Quite a tight course but longer than expected and I found it very challenging (in fact it beat me up quite badly). The par 3's seem extremely difficult, but the par 5's slightly boring. I played in the evening so the Course was quiet but I did catch up the 3 ball ahead eventually. A lot of holes cross each other which is off-putting when driving, for fear of endangering people. Sadly there was a group of 5 playing together which eventually fed back to me and caused delays. They were also very loud, shouting and cheering and even throwing putters at missed Puts. I did enquire after the round (the bar had shut though and few staff) and was assured they were members who played regularly. They should know better then so a slight concern this sort of behaviour is tolerated. 9Iassume a 4-ball is still the Max?)

Hidden Gem - Seak it out!

Good challenge for all levels of golfer, very friendly members and staff with excellent breakfast!
Course in good condition considering the lack of rain, greens run true and challenging approach shots.
