Glencorse Golf Club

Sunshine always brings out the best in this course !!! Great course and deal

A very interesting course lots of difficult par 3 threes so be prepared for a tough climb in places .

If you are not fully fit a buggy is recommended

Very good condition for the time of year, full greens and no fairway mats, winter tees where in play on the par 3s. A really interesting layout and a test of your golf.

Warm welcome at the Pro shop and some advice for the first couple of holes. Raging burn running through many of the holes so lost a few balls! Some long Par 3s but enjoyed the challenge of each hole and the stunning views from the 15th & 18th tee boxes. Course was in great condition despite the recent rain & the greens were excellent. Struggled to find the next tee box a couple of times. Clubhouse looked good but didn’t have time to stay. Let a few members through & all very friendly. We’ll be back!

Played tonight and despite the weather the course was in fantastic condition. Staff were friendly, well stocked shop, well worth £13! Course is "short", but the par 3s are long, so make of that what you will! Very scenic, will be back!!

I phoned to ask what the ground conditions were to which I was told that there was snow covering the course, as I went to ask a question to the staff member they hung to phone up on me. I was looking to change my booking to another date but was never given this chance as the staff could not get off the phone quick enough.

I have played this course previously and I found it excellent due to its layout, but today was really poor from start to finish.

First off, I arrived with my playing partners for 8am - first people to play (this was the only time available for booking on GolfNow). The individual working at the Pro-Shop was extremely rude in our short encounter. He didn’t know anything about the course conditions, including how many actual greens were on (not winter). He also made a number of condescending comments to me, including saying It was “silly for me to book this time as it was just light up” (My argument was that if they don’t want people on at this time, don’t make the times available) and “Have you ever played golf before…” because I asked about the number of winter greens… - might I add, this was before he even seen me hit a ball! I got a real feeling that visitors are not welcome at this course, because once he found out I am a member at another club, his poor manners began, which is a real shame.

My next moan is about the course price, which was £25. Whilst I am not averse paying this when the course is in good shape, they charged this price for 18 winter greens and the course was a bit of a swamp (I wouldn’t have booked, had I known this). In addition, when we were playing, none of the flags were in any of the holes, not even the winter greens… Someone working must have taken them out the night before, and didn’t go out in the morning to place them back in before play commenced. This made our game very disappointing and almost impossible to play many good shots, as for many, we had no idea where the hole/pin was to aim…

Overall, I am very dissatisfied with the whole situation, which was exacerbated by poor service from the rude professional, the course condition, which I understand cannot always be helped, but the fact that nobody even put any of the flags up before allowing players to start is poor.

This course is excellent not long but plenty of tricky golf holes.
It had been raining a few days before we played but apart from a couple of soft greens there was no lying water.
The greens were drilled and sanded so worth considering if you are planning a game here soon.
Overall excellent all for £13 what's not to like.
We have decided to come back next year.
Point to look for that the tee next to the 2nd green is in fact the 11th as we found out from a local after hitting excellent tee shots down the middle lol

Friendly staff, very reasonably priced, great views and elevated tee boxes. Well worth a visit.

For a mid-high handicapper this is a real challenge. Long par 3 holes with multiple hazards make this a demanding but highly enjoyable test. Course was immaculate. Highly recommended.

Interesting course, lots of challenging holes. Great views. Excellent condition.

My playing partner and I had played this course previously but over 20 years ago so we didn’t remember all of the holes. A wet winter followed by a cool dry spring meant that the greens still had a bit to go but overall the course was in good condition. It’s only a par 64 but a really good test. The par 3’s are all tough with quite a few over 200 yards. Some lovely holes and great views of the Pentland Hills.
We didn’t use the clubhouse facilities but the club professional Clive was very friendly. Look forward to a return game later in the season when the greens will be in better condition
