What the club says: The moment you step onto Kings Acre it’s clear that you are about to play a very fine golf course. Lovingly owned and developed by the local King family over two generations, ours is a beautiful parkland course in magnificent countryside. It is the vision of top Scottish designer Graham Webster and as you make your way around its wonderful 18 holes you’ll see how he has made clever use of the land’s natural contours. Strategically placed water hazards and over 50 bunkers lead you to large, undulating championship quality greens.
Underfoot, the natural sandy-based soil guarantees excellent playability all year round.
Created for players of every standard it is as popular with European Tour pros as it is with occasional golfers.
Kings Acre’s is an inspiring setting where anyone can enjoy a superbly stimulating and challenging round of golf.

A well designed course layout offers some respectable golfing challenges for all standards of player. Friendly, open and relaxed feel to the place, along with excellent practice facilities make this a good home for your golf.(Round played: Aug 2020 - Score: 79 Handicap: 9.6)

Reviewed Sep 8 2019 by Graham H - rated 3 out of 5 Promising Course
Clubs rarely have the full package, yet Kings Acre looks to be heading in the right direction. A top driving range and putting green are just the start and the clubhouse has a warm feel inside. The course gives a range of challenges but principally due to thick forest from which the layout has been built straight shots are essential.....these are thick woods and a stray shot will likely mean a lost ball. That said there are fun elements with the 15th Tee launching high through the top reaches of Redwoods and a 17th bending right around a small hill. Worth a visit.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Mar 27 2019 by Ian W - rated 4 out of 5 An undemanding course on the outskirts of Edinburgh, easily reached from the bypass, Kings Acre isn't as tough as it might be with wide fairways allowing you to keep the ball in play and shoot for the greens. It's of a length where you'd expect to reach most greens in regulation The par 5s are definite birdie opportunities. The layout of two nines is varied enough to keep you interested although the "down and round holes" 14 to 17 are a bit quirky. 18 is the best driving challenge, with a 200 yard carry to pass the pond on the left and bunkering down the right for the hydrophobics. Decent clubhouse and food and a nice spot to take lunch on a sunny day.

This course is fun. It has a great mix of holes, 5 Par 3s and 4 Par 5s. No two holes on the course are the same. Good condition and it was very quiet so we flew round.Very good value for money
The facility is impressive and we received a warm welcome.

Reviewed Oct 2 2017 by Guy R - rated 5 out of 5 Excellent course. Very attractive course lined with pine and spruce; interesting and well kept greens. Hole 15 is, although difficult, very interesting. If it has heavily rained, I would check before playing as some tee boxes/areas felt they could be boggy if there was heavy rain.

Reviewed Jul 3 2017 by Donna R - rated 5 out of 5 Fantastic course
This is a gem of a course. The elevated 15th tee can more often than not be very frustrating due to the very tall trees on either side lower down on the fairway, if your tee shot goes in then you can forget about finding your ball ????( several of mine are in left and right ) lol. Not an easy course but not too difficult either. Worth more than one visit.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed May 9 2017 by Robert /Glasgow - rated 4 out of 5 Recently had a day out here with 28 roudy glaswegians and was a blast. Very easy to organise as every time a phoned no matter who I spoke too was always very helpful. And not a bad price either. We arrived 1hr30 before first tee and were received very well. Course was in absolutely pristine condition and found it extremely entertaining to play as found it was a wee thinker. It did help having the buggy a must say the boys who never were knackerd by the time they got round. What let this club down was the state of the shower facility's and our 2 course meal after the round. The showers are a absolute joke having to time whn to jump in a out. You are ither getting scalded or freezing ur golf balls off. As for the meal well for me it was a shambles. Paid extra to upgrade to a 2 course and after wish a had stuck with soap n sandwich. Had a choice of fish,mac n cheese and pie,chips n beans and every 1 was terrible not sure wht went wrong if they cooked it whn we were on the course n jus heated when we got back but it was disgusting. Total shame aswell because everything else up to tht point had been fantastic. Will definitely be goin bk jus maybe not with as many people????????
