Piperdam Golf & Leisure Resort - New Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Piperdam Golf & Leisure Resort (formerly known as The Osprey Course at Piperdam) is so named because during the summer months, Ospreys nest at the loch that the course surrounds. The event has become such an attraction that the Piperdam Osprey Centre, an observation facility for visitors, was built. The course has a parkland style layout with water hazards and out-of-bounds stakes. Golfers are quickly introduced to the challenges of the course with the par-3 first hole, which requires a careful tee shot over water in order to reach the green. In addition to the scenic course, Piperdam Golf & Leisure Resort offers a 12-bay driving range as well as boat and bank fishing on the loch.

Good day out
Course starts with a lovely par 3 over the Loch.
The course its self was in a fine condition, however the tee boxes need some serious tlc.
Overall course was great.
Very Very Slow!!!
Played this course numerous times but I never experienced this before, normally you can complete this course in 3 hours but yesterday it took 3.5 hours just for 12 holes so unfortunately we walked off. Every hole we met the group ahead and the 2 groups behind us.
The pro was out and attempted to speed play up but this was ignored by the 3 groups of 4 balls who were very slow and not allowing myself who was in a 2 ball to play through.
The tee areas on every hole were unfortunately in very bad condition also .
Fairways and tees bit patchy and generally the course just needs some care as bit untidy
Winter Greens
I was not aware that the first hole was unplayable and that we were playing on winter greens. Until l had paid and this information was passed over to me at the reception, just before I was due to tea off.
Value
Had a great day playing a superb course great layout, in great condition for time of year , would totally recommend
Poor draining
Water logged everywhere. 4 ball in front that wouldn’t let us through (2 ball) Greens so slow.
Only good thing about this course is the scenery.
Piperdam
First time playing. Short but tight and greens are brilliant with pace. Would definitely come back.
Great Day
Loved the course and the facilities and the friendliness of the staff - especially impressive given that we’re emerging from Covid-19.
Course is well maintained and laid out and we really enjoyed plotting our way round it.
Lunch was excellent too. All round great day..
