Frequently Asked Questions

What's the biggest surprise about playing golf at Percy Wood Country Park?

Many golfers expect a typical resort-style course, but Percy Wood offers a more natural, mature parkland feel with abundant wildlife. You'll find it's a wonderfully peaceful round, often feeling like you have the place to yourself, which is a real bonus.

Is Percy Wood a challenging course for experienced golfers, or more forgiving for beginners?

Percy Wood strikes a nice balance; it's a fair test for most handicaps without being overly punishing. The par 72 layout has some tricky doglegs and well-placed bunkers, but wider fairways mean you won't lose too many balls if you're a bit off.

When is the best time of year to play Percy Wood for optimal conditions?

We highly recommend late spring to early autumn-May through September-to catch Percy Wood at its best. You'll enjoy longer daylight hours and generally drier conditions, though a light waterproof is always a smart move in Scotland.

What makes the scenery at Percy Wood stand out compared to other Scottish courses?

Unlike many coastal links, Percy Wood offers a lush, mature parkland experience with stunning views of the Cheviot Hills. You'll play through ancient woodlands and alongside tranquil streams, making for a truly picturesque and serene round.

What practical advice do you have for someone planning a day trip to play Percy Wood?

Plan to arrive a bit early to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and maybe hit a few putts on their practice green. While the course is the main draw, consider packing a picnic to enjoy after your round, as the clubhouse offerings are more modest.
