About

Holes 18
Type Public
Style Parkland
Par 70
Length 6051 yards
Slope 128
Rating 69.5

Woll offers a testing and very enjoyable round over a eighteen hole course of outstanding natural beauty. The par 70 parkland course follows the gentle contours of the Ale valley and is surrounded by mature trees. The Woll burn comes into play on a number of holes as does the pond at the aptly named Pond hole. Situated on the natural valley bottom the sub soil is sand and gravel ensuring the course drains very well and is playable all year round. It is kept to the highest standard to make your game enjoyable.

Two holes which will demand your attention are the 6th, The Island, and the 8th, The Thief's Road. The Island is a short par 4 which has a right angle dog leg at about 210 yards and then requires a shot over the Woll burn to the green which is only a wedge away if you put your tee shot in the right place. The Thief's Road also dog legs to the right, but at 571 yards it needs three well struck shots to get home.

The course makes an enjoyable outing for golfers of all capabilities and all are welcome. The terrain is very gentle and there is an abundance of wildlife in the valley.

Still Winter Preparation and Price Should Reflect That

I have played this course multiple times but this was £20 per person and the course was not in great condition. There were winter tees at all holes with some holes being significantly shortened as a result. Also two winter greens but there was no attempt to properly prepare the winter greens, as there were tractor tyre marks right across the so-called putting surface. It was easier to use a 7 iron than a putter on these surfaces. The greens that were in play were not being repaired properly by other players with many deep ball marks. (disappointed in my fellow golfers not repairing) The bunkers were all still out of play.
It was fortunately a sunny afternoon and therefore enjoyed the walk but as far as the golf course was concerned I have to say it was disappointing on this occasion. I am sure I will be back later in the year.

Crash bang wollap!

A beautiful course, nicely laid out with some interesting holes, especially the par 3s. We were playing on some winter greens and tees, however the tees were set very far forward on certain holes, which did make some of the par 4s less challenging. Work had gone into draining the course after heavy rain, making the course nicely playable. As visitors, our only criticism was that there was a lack of signage and no map on the score card, which caused some confusion at times. Lovely looking clubhouse (we weren’t able to take advantage due to the winter opening times) and friendly staff and patrons. Well worth a visit; we look forward to returning in the summer.

Hidden Gem

This is an excellent course hidden away in the Scottish Borders. It is not a long course but requires accurate play. There are Par 3s which are very short but accuracy is vital. There is some up and down to the geography of the course so a reasonable degree of mobility is required if you are walking.
Course was in excellent condition and was an enjoyable afternoon. I would recommended this course to anyone looking for an alternative to the more expensive borders courses.

Lovely Course

First time playing this course. Staff were very welcoming and pleasant. Great clubhouse facilities given where its situated. Course is in very good condition and I really enjoyed the layout. Not too busy for a friday afternoon. We played off the white tees, which are often a good bit back from the yellows, which we enjoyed. The greens has recently been spiked (not cored) but had a good true run and we didn't notice any negative effect. Nice and soft for stopping a ball. Its a good challenge and I played to my handicap playing fairly average. There would definitely be ample opportunity to play under handicap knowing the course a bit better. Game pace of play 3 stars but it's not the clubs fault. We (2 ball) got stuck behind an golf society outing (4 ball) who did apologise at the last hole for not letting us through. No drama. Really enjoyed this course and club, which is very good value for a hot deal offer.

Good layout, v friendly staff. Unfortunately the greens had been scarified so might wait until they have been healed before playing again.
I’d recommend it for an outing as suitable for players of all abilities.

Played before and enjoyed it. Partner hadn’t played it so I recommended it to him. A bit slow but no issue as it was a nice warm day. It was in good condition.

Two good mates enjoying a days golf

Weather was good, course was in very good condition. Greens were a challenge ran true, enjoyed our day visiting another course in the Boarders. Not long but a good test of golf a thinking man’s course! Position off the tee is the key to get the best angles into the greens. The only criticism would be the bunkers could do with some more sand. Overall an excellent days golf with good company as always, we will be back again sooner rather than later.

worth the trip

played Woll for the second time as some local knowledge is invaluable, when I played it the first time I thought what a great hole but if I come back I,l play it differently on a lot of the holes so I did and enjoyed it even more, only slight flaw was bunkers could do with a bit more sand in them, but minor fault, well worth travelling to.

The Woll review

I hadn't played the course for around five years, and I have to say I was thoroughly impressed. All aspects of the course ticked the box in my opinion. The tees, fairways and greens were in fantastic condition, and the entire course was in a very tidy condition. The whole course is maturing well and the layout is an enjoyable walk.

Frozen but still great.

Me and a friend drove up from Newcastle to play, the course is really nice layout and the scenery is stunning. The ground was frozen solid so it wasn’t the easiest, especially the greens. But was a great day out all the same. A shame the bar wasn’t open for food and drinks would be my only gripe.
