Dundonald Links

From the moment you walk in the doors of the clubhouse there a warm friendly atmosphere. Good warm up range / chipping/ putting areas . laughs and joking with the starter and straight into a tough but fair course. Considering all the terrible weather lately the course was in phenomenal condition. I’ll be back again for sure . Saunas in the locker rooms a nice bonus to warm up again .

All the staff were fantastic

Third time playing at Dundonald and wasn't disappointed course was fantastic and would highly recommend it. For me not one bad hole on the course and all areas were in fabulous condition ❤️❤️👌

Great staff, great course, great facilities. A must-play if you get the opportunity.

I would have expected greens to be a lot better for a links course charging a high green fee. The rest of the experience was good apart from slow play for the whole back 9.

I know it’s winter but greens were very bumpy and hairy. Good course though, good general condition. Will go back again for sure but hoping the greens improve

Played it three years ago during summer…. Really impressed & anticipate it hosting Ryder Cup in future.
Despite it being only 3C temperature & wind gusting over 20mph, it didn’t disappoint!
Will be back again sometime

The course based on time of year was excellent, greens very sandy but I appreciate work needs to be carried out, though didn’t really affect the roll of the ball.
The only downside was coming up behind a members four ball on the 10th hole, i then proceeded to follow them all the way to the 18th green. This was very disappointing especially after the 1st tee where a members four ball, let me tee off a head of them. The course was very quiet, so there was no reason not to let me through.
Definitely recommend playing there.

It was amazing what a day out regret not taking a pair of shorts with me for the steam room afterwards the facilities are out of this world

Played Dundonald on Saturday. Mint condition, layout and views stunning, greens were a little slower than i remember but still ran true and it is February! For £75 its a bargain

The course was in unbelievable condition for January, highly recommend at winter rates.

Very helpful and welcoming staff. Course was set up well for the time of year. Half way house was open and friendly. Overall an excellent day’s golf

Under new owners, Dundonald has taken the difficult steps from being a solid links to an exceptional one. The new accommodations are much needed in the region and ideal for golf groups who want to play the trophy links of the Ayrshire Coast. Dundonald, a past host of men's and women's Scottish Opens, is a demanding test with several burns impacting multiple holes. Many of the greens are propped up, making running shots up onto them difficult. The immaculate conditions were a treat to play. The addition of a halfway house and the very impressive new clubhouse has taken the whole experience up to five-star levels. Make sure to plan to stay for lunch or dinner. The food might be better than the course, and that's saying something.

Travelled to Scotland for the weekend with family the weekend after the torrential rain and flooding. Me and my son were not optimistic about getting a game in, having tried most courses around Dumfries on the Saturday. All were closed till at least Monday. Forecast was heavy rain but clearing pm on Sunday so started looking a bit further north for a course that was open. Found Dundonalds links was open with no restrictions, an hour and 15 minutes away. The price of £95 each was the only down side but as a special occasion decided to book and am I glad I did. From arriving at the entrance we felt this is special. The course was in outstanding condition, no preferred lies, no mud no winter greens. I have never in 30 years seen a golf course in this condition even in the middle of summer. Excellent signage to next holes, in general nearly perfect. The views are limited outside the golf course but most holes were stunning to look at, go sightseeing after golf. One of the best days golf ever and will definitely return even at the same price. The clubhouse was closed due to renovations but looks amazing, this is the reason I slightly marked down the scores. Would have been 5 out 5, thank you for a great day.

It has been raining or snowing in the Glasgow area for the last two weeks. Many courses are closed but our course was open. It was open but extremely wet in places. With the forecast of frost we knew it would be winter greens at our home course. We decided to visit an Ayrshire course for the weekend in preference to our home course. We had all played Dundonald before and knew it would be in great condition with play on both the fairways and greens allowed. (unlike some others). When we arrived at Dundonald at 08:45 for a 9:30 tee time we were told there was still a frost which would be gone by about 11am, all green were still ain play and we were given free coffee and bacon roll as way of compensation for playing the early holes on a slightly frozen course. We started in a good mood which just got better as we played. The course was in great condition and we had no complaints at all. We new the layout was great and the condition would be great. Some green were hollowtined but the ball still ran true. We all highly recommend Dundonald at any time of the year but in winder is is head and shoulders above other courses in the west of Scotland.

Designed by Kyle Phillips, who did the acclaimed Kingsbarns near St. Andrews, Dundonald is a modern links course that certainly fits to what you expect when you come to play golf in Scotland. This newer course is the host of the 2017 Scottish Open, so you know it's going to be a good test, and it was. And while it may not have the views of Kingsbarns or even nearby Western Gailes certainly, it's a really nice collection of holes, including some fairly challenging par 3s. I played this course right off the redeye, so I didn't have my best wits about me, but I still found it very enjoyable and a perfect introduction to the other eight courses I would be play. All-in-all, Dundonald Links is a first-rate Scottish links experience.

Had the pleasure of playing a superb links course. When you were on the course you felt that you were in paradise. The layout was interesting, the condition outstanding and the greens most probably the best I have played on - yes Brabazon take note.
The only disappointment was the pace of play - 5 hours 30 minutes for a 2 ball. Caught up with a 4 ball complete with 4 caddies after 3 holes. Even though they were losing balls they never thought to let us through until the 11th - would have thought the caddies from the course would have known better!!!!! Still the rest of the experience certainly made up for this. Would definitely play again especially as my son played to 2 under off the back tee's - me not so good but enjoyed the experience all the same
