Rating 69.7

Located just east of Glasgow, Drumpellier Golf Club sits at the west end of Coatbridge. Since opening in 1894, it has become one of the area's most treasured courses. The layout is challenging but it's still player friendly enough to appeal to a wide range of skill levels. The golf course's has a memorable finish, ending on two of its best holes. The par-4 17th is just 270 yards, giving big hitters the opportunity for a grand finish by reaching the green from the tee. Those who don't want to take the risk can play it safe and aim for the fairway. Drumpellier Golf Club's final hole, another par 4, tumbles downhill across slopes ranging from subtle to dramatic. Be careful of running out of the fairway or you'll face an even tougher approach to the well bunkered green.

Course condition was very poor

Booked a tee off time and was told by staff that a couple of winter greens were on and to play off mats. This turned out to be 10 winter greens and the course was complete saturated. To be completely honest the course should probably not have been open with the condition. The condition was surprising as the weather had not been that bad recently. So this gives me concern about the overall drainage of the course.

Course itself was ok, no real iconic or memorable holes. Bit disappointed overall

Waste of Money

Showed up on time to be told only hole 1 to 7, 17 and 18 were open. Hole 7 was unplayable. The course should have been shut. Also it was temporary greens which we were not advised of when booking. Absolute rip off at £30 per person.

Waste of money

We arrived at the pro shop to check in to be told that we had to play off matts on the fairway which was fine, charged £6 per mat which I think was a joke given this was never disclosed when placing the booking. We were then told that only holes 1-7 and 17-18 holes were open and all of which were on temporary greens. When I asked why they said the whole course is waterlogged and these were the only ones playable. Hole 7 was fenced off and totally waterlogged so it was only 8 holes out the 18 and even at that were a poor 8 holes. If the course is like this then it should have been closed instead of charging £30 per person to play. I’ll not be back!!!

Excellent course!

Played this course for the first time a couple of weeks back. The fairways were in great condition and the greens were perfect. Would highly recommend people to play here. If I had more time on my hands this would be the course to become a member!

Nice good length course.

Some long challenging par 4s and some really good par 3s. Good course all in all. Some of the greens slightly on the soft side would be the only complaint.

Suited me to a tee

Really enjoyed the course and highly recommend. Fairways in top condition and greens ran well though a bit bare in some places but ball still ran true. My bad fortune to be out immediately behind a seniors event which, as I was playing alone, meant it was a lot slower than I'd have liked. Nobody's fault (well the oldies did have chances to allow me thru but didn't) and still doesn't colour my view of the course. Considered applying to join but website says waiting list. Aww.

The course was not bad however this is related to the
Fact that there was 6/7 winter greens and on Atleast half the greens looked fantastic, £30 was on the high side for what we got I feel as the previous week we payed king George in Perth for £35 full greens

Very nice

I was really impressed with the course condition and the layout. Despite there being a fair few blind shots it really didn't spoil my enjoyment.
There's a very good variety of holes and well mixed up.
The course is fairly open off the tee but around the greens and the greens themselves are tough.

Quality of coarse

I loved playing the coarse . Condition of coarse was great . Layout of each hole was terrific to play . Whether hole was playing on a down slope from elevated tee position or playing up to elevated greens . Was great to play dogleg holes that required both a fade and draw shots from tee . I thought the par 3s were also great to play I liked the yardage and the mix from the tee . Overall was really impressed and would definitely play the coarse again

Geordie tour

As a visitor to this course we were made to feel very welcome and this is why we have visited a few times with us working in Glasgow
I find all of the holes different and challenging for a mid handicapped player and condition of course is perfect …
Would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to play in the area
