Top Inland Course

Played in the Mixed Greensomes two days ago, and like last year, same time, the course is in superb condition and what a pleasure it was to play, i did give it just a 9 for layout, but a 10 is reserved for Muirfield.
For those of you who have not played Newbattle, then you are missing out on a great days golf, a great mixture of holes, none of this up down, up down, the 2nd is a good challemge to throw in early, and the seventeenth, could kill your card. Go for it, and you will not be disappointed.

Great course

I have played Newbattle quite a few times and it is always in good condition with very fast greens. The members are friendly and the food is very good.

Beautiful Parkland Course

This is a lovely course. A good mix of par 3/4/5 holes make it very interesting & enjoyable. Interesting tee shot on the 17th hole!

Great views

Charity day golf outing. Course was in great shape. The greens were wonderful and the fairways cut well. Staff in the clubhouse could not be more helpful and pleasant. Food was great as well.

Course of two halves

This is a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde kind of course. Starting in established parkland with great old trees and gentle surround by the turn you are up the top of a significant hill almost in open fields. Going out you watch the OoB carefully before switching in course at 10 only to find relentless head-on prevailing winds to mitigate for much of the back 9. This is a well established club if a little dated and old-fashioned in areas. Must savour the 17th Tee shot !!
