Sixth oldest course in the world and what a let down,the royal status should be removed,etiquette of golf is none existing,people playing in vests come on.people playing on the wrong fairways no shouts of fore.the greens looked good but were rubbish to putt on,they were totally dead and slow.in my opinion the worst course I have played in Scotland.over played waiting on every tee box.

Some interesting holes. Good greens

Forgiving course with some interesting holes. A few too many simple holes for me to give this a Very Good but enough variety to make it an enjoyable round. Particularly if you can get a good deal on green fees.
Definitely favours those who can draw off the tee
Greens in very good condition

Course was well presented for a winter play on a wet autumnal day. Both greens and fairways were consistent and well tended.

Great parkland course

A lovely parkland course, set amongst trees. Quite forgiving course and not the longest but still a good test. The back 9 in particular are quite challenging with dog legs and rolling fairways to contend with. I went round in 90 which I was happy with seeing as I didn't know the course. I paid ?24 for my round which I would say was good value. Will definitely return.

Great Course.

Great Course and very friendly staff. Course in very good condition with a couple of exceptions. Bunkers need a bit work, hardly any sand in most and alot of stones throughout. Rough need a bit work in a couple of places. Can't complain though especially in these circumstances with staff furloughed I'm sure the green keepers are doing the best they can

Nice inland Scottish parkland

A nice inland Scottish parkland design course, very mature trees and rough to avoid, a little tight in places, some lovely shaped holes. A very majestic old fashioned style clubhouse, nice little shop. Very friendly staff and cracking food.

Fun finish to Edinburgh swing

Of the 3 courses we played in our Edinburgh swing this was the only inland course, although there were occasional glimpses of the estuary. Course was in good conditions greens played well, club house is rather let down by the extension which is a concrete block next to a mini castle!
