Steeped in 14th Century folklore from tales of marauding knights, heroic damsels and drowned witches, historic Ballumbie Castle is set in 150 acresof mature countryside – the ideal setting for golf. With Carnoustie andMonifieth courses within 2 miles, you can enjoy great golf on yoursight seeing trip – or alternatively great sights on your golfing holiday!
Situated less than three miles from Dundee City Centre, you will find us just Northof Claypotts Junction of the A92 road. The 18-hole, par 69 (SSS of 70), 6,157 yardcourse demands accuracy and represents a great challenge for golfers at all levelsof experience. Without necessarily using a driver at every tee, you will use most ofthe clubs in your bag. On the first six holes, distance is less important thanaccuracy. The relatively young course sweeps and turns and you will find eachhole a unique challenge.
Certainly, the thinking golfer at whatever level, will find just reward in aconsidered approach to the challenges in store. The par-4 10th is a classic with aburn running next to the fairway. There’s a sloping bank on the right with a pondto the left. With water features in play on four of the holes, there’s no shortage ofinterest in what is becoming a really superb course.
