Dunno bald has the same architect as Kinsbarns. Wind was blowing a steady 20 miles per hour plus with intermittent rain. Course has a 130 slope from the white tees. Forecasts was extremely helpful.Reviewer Rating

Good layout but….
Had heard some good reviews from friends. Layout is really good, but have to say, some areas not as good as would have hoped for the price. Greens were in good shape, but tee boxes ‘well used’. We had carts but no signage out there for directions in roped areas (plenty) meant reversing as cart auto cut off kicks in. Real shame and based on this, would look at other courses first in the area, depending on our price pointReviewer Rating

Played this beautiful course on 2/9/23. Couldn't fault a thing. Warm welcome upon arrival from the young ladies in the bar area, they even passed nice comments on the colour of our society tops. The starter was very pleasant taking time to explain to all snippets of info. The course itself lives up to its reputation, excellent condition from tee to green. Even if your round not the best just admire the views.Reviewer Rating

Exceptional course
well worth its ranking as a championship course. Typical links course management is key to doing well bunkers catch you and they are deep and very well placed. Let down by starters as another game got pushed in front. Didn't impact much ran 20 mins late.Reviewer Rating

This was an amazing experience! The course was in excellent condition, with great fairways and greens that were well kept. The practice area was also great, and the clubhouse facilities were first-class. The layout and stadium feel of the course was great.

The course has all the features you would expect on a true Scottish links course (gorse, pot bunkers, hidden ditches and stunning views). We had true Scottish weather thrown in (45 mph winds, hail and sunshine) yet the course was so good this just added to the experience. ?55 for a visitor on a Sunday was good value & the hospitality & food were very good.Reviewer Rating

Fabulous Course
When you arrive the clubhouse is less than inspiring from the outside as it resembles a very large mobile home. Inside the facilities are very good. Food was excellent. Pro and reception staff super friendly and helpful. Moving to the practice ground you see the benefits of being chosen to host The Scottish Open as the practice range, short game practice area and putting practice area were added then and are superb. Then you play the course and the treat that you have ahead will truly make your day. Superbly maintained every hole is a joy to play. A note of caution from the starter was "Avoid the bunkers at all costs and if you do happen in one chose your route out carefully as forward is not always the best way." I concur! Possibly my favourite course of those that I have played, certainly up there. Highly recommended.Reviewer Rating
