Colvend Golf Club — Local services in Scotland

Played Colvend on Monday 27th of August 2018 and thoroughly enjoyed it. The first hole looks a bit daunting but don,t let it put you off, the hill is the steepest you will play. The views all around the course are beautiful, from sea scapes to hills and fire trees. The opening few holes lull you into thinking this is not to demanding, and then you play the 8th hole par 3, what a hole. Water running just in front of the green and an out of bounds through the back, it is as if the course suddenly shows its teeth with out any warning. When you cross the road the holes are superb, one cracker after another. Make your score early because from hole 7 on wards you will use every club in your bag and regardless of your level of play, play the courses with respect and enjoy its charm. This is a course that you will be able to remember all the holes when you reflect on what you should have done, which to me is the sign of a great and fair golf course, well worth the journey to play.

Colvend Golf Club is a great traditional Scottish golf course that uses the land as the good Lord gave it to us in the Donald Ross tradition of course design.The view from the third hole of the Firth is awesome! While the course is not long by modern standards , the elevation changes and prevailing winds insure that you will need to use every club in the bag to score well. The Club Pro/Manager is very friendly and helpful and he goes out of his way to make you feel at home. Greens fees are very affordable and the pace of play is very good. I Have played many of the top courses in the United States(like Torrey Pines, Pinehurst #2 etc), and when you look at the total golf experience of challenge, affordability, playability and scenery, I put playing at Colvend to be one of the best golf experiences...
