Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time of year to play Broadlees Golf Course?

We always recommend aiming for late spring or early autumn - think May-June or September-October. You'll often find the course in fantastic condition, the weather is generally more forgiving than mid-summer's unpredictable downpours, and you'll avoid the peak tourist rush, making for a more relaxed round.

Is Broadlees a good course for beginners, or is it more for experienced players?

Broadlees strikes a really nice balance; it's welcoming enough for those newer to the game without being a pushover for seasoned golfers. The layout is fair, but you'll still need to think your way around some of the trickier par-3s and strategically placed bunkers. It's a great spot to enjoy a round without feeling intimidated.

What should I expect to pay for a round at Broadlees, and is it good value?

You'll find Broadlees offers excellent value, especially compared to some of Scotland's more famous - and pricier - links. Expect green fees to be very reasonable, often around the £30-£50 mark, depending on the season and day of the week. For a well-maintained course with genuine Scottish charm, it's a steal.

What makes Broadlees Golf Course stand out from other courses in Scotland?

What truly sets Broadlees apart is its genuine, unpretentious Scottish character and those surprisingly panoramic views from the back nine. It's not about grandiosity, but about honest golf on a course that feels deeply rooted in its local landscape, offering a real taste of local play. The 14th hole, a challenging uphill par-4, is a particular highlight you won't forget.

Do I need to bring my own clubs to Broadlees, or are rentals available?

While we always prefer playing with our own sticks, Broadlees does offer a decent selection of rental clubs if you're traveling light or just fancy trying something new. Just make sure to call ahead to reserve a set, especially during busier times, to avoid any disappointment. They also have trolleys available, which you'll appreciate on some of the longer walks.
