Pace too slow

Course is in good condition but game was ruined by groups of elderly lady members who played painfully slow and I don’t think they knew what golf etiquette is.

1st time playing this course which was in great condition considering the amount of rain we had a couple days before we played, greens were in great condition, we were a 3 ball and played badly felt sorry for people behind us as we held them up they were ok with it would defo go back for another round as j know the layout a bit better the pro shop was closed so cant comment but this course is worth a visit some challenging holes with plenty of birdie chances and the 1st tee has the webcam so anyone can watch, and its a very busy course people always behind you

Well looked after course

Course condition was very good especially the greens. Very forgiving course. Unable to comment on clubhouse or Pro as both weren’t open. Members were friendly as sorted us score cards and gave some advise on playing course . Great value for money.

First time player

Was very impressed, with the whole set up, (did not use the off course amenities, so no rating) pro shop staff gave good advise about course layout, details also on score card. Tee boxes and greens 5* layout and course contours keeps you thinking, and loved the 17th 491 yard par 5

Forgiving

Lovely parkland course with wide fairways that forgive the odd wayward drive. I'm not a fast player and in never been rushed or had to let anyone play through in the two times I've played it in last two weeks. Can't comment on staff or clubhouse yet due to Covid. Course is much flatter than you would expect. Considering a membership, it was that good. Only negative, if any, is to wear insect repellent. Couple of holes have a larger share of flies.

Excellent greens

First time playing Caldwell and would definitely play again. Good value for a pleasant course that is relatively forgiving if you stray slightly off line.

Despite the torrent of rain in previous days the course was in great condition and the greens were immaculate.

Won’t be the last time

Arrived in plenty of time for the rain, only to discover no umbrella and with the pro shop not open, I was looking at a rather soggy round.

However, went into the restaurant and asked a lovely young lady if there were any spare umbrellas available to which Ann (I think that was her name) kindly had a look and found one for me. Thank you so much for that- very much appreciated

Course was in good condition, green a little heavy with water but that was to be expected, but take nothing away from the greens, beat I’ve played on this year!!!

Value for money - absolutely. Didn’t manage to use the restaurant/bar facilities but maybe next time.

Thank you again.

A Hidden Gem

The day started off rainy when we left the East End of Glasgow but that didn’t put a dampener on our day (excuse the pun).
We set off hoping the rain would stay away and arrived at Caldwell Golf club with a little drizzle in the air. The first thing I noticed when walking to to pro shop was the 18th green which had a slope running down to it from the fairway. The green looked superb. After meeting the Pro
Mark who was very friendly and helpful. We set off around all I can say is a great well laid out golf course with some beautiful scenery and fantastic holes. The course was a little damp but the green staff were out in force making sure the course was looking great. The best thing about the day apart from playing a solid round of 84 which for me was good having not played for 4 months was the sun came out the rain kept away and the course was a delight to play.
I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a hidden Gem book up a round and go and enjoy yourself.
I’m already talking my mates into booking a day out at Caldwell. Can’t wait to go back
Thank you Mark, the Green Staff and Caldwell Golf Club for a fantastic days golf

Nice course

Enjoyed the course very much which was in very good condition and the club house looked good but still in the covid 19 restrictions so unable to review the clubhouse.. Paid a fair price for the round and will return next year if the price is right.

Good challenge

The reviews for this course are glowing and after a few holes in to the round I could see why. The course is very well kept and the surrounding are fantastic. Most of the course is pretty flat with wide fairways but there is certainly a challenge to be had. The holes are of a decent length and there is a variety too. For £20 it's a bargain and I will definitely be returning for another round soon.
