Edinburgh rated 2 out of 5
Reviewed Oct 4 2017

Course has been changed for the better. The 2nd par 3 is now almost the 3rd par 4 the 3rd par 4 is now a 100 yard par 3. The course is a perfect simple wee walk and is perfect if you just want to hit a few balls. However the price has gone up on this course over the last few years and I believe it's £12 a round for 9 holes whice is way too expensive for what it is. On that basis alone I wouldn't recommend it to anyone on less they were really wanting a basic few holes. I say this as someone who has a car and would rather travel to a full 18 hole course around Edinburgh where for £5/7 extra you would get more of a challenge.

me-wreck rated 3 out of 5
Reviewed Aug 25 2017
Changed/"refurbished" recently, been last on my council courses list - now it's tidy, tee's finally looking proper (even some distance info), hopeless no 2 cancelled and instead 2 and 3 combined (long and very short). Really good one for beginners and not a wasteland anymore.

Small council course with limited holes - well maintained and OK for a quick round - nice signature hole at number 9 which is very tricky
Worth a look

nicely maintained course - ruined by people jumping on for free at the 2nd and dog walkers - even had a cyclist zoom right across me on the 8th tee once! Could do with a high fence around it.
