Course Description

Woll offers a testing and very enjoyable round over a nine hole course of outstanding natural beauty. The par 72 parkland course follows the gentle contours of the Ale valley and is surrounded by mature trees. The Woll burn comes into play on a number of holes as does the pond at the aptly named Pond hole. Situated on the natural valley bottom the sub soil is sand and gravel ensuring the course drains very well and is playable all year round. It is kept to the highest standard to make your game enjoyable.

Two holes which will demand your attention are the 6th The Island, and the 8th The Thief's Road. The Island is a short par 4 which has a right angle dog leg at about 210 yards and then requires a shot over the Woll burn to the green which is only a wedge away if you put your tee shot in the right place. The Thief's Road Also dog legs to the right, but at 571 yards it needs three well struck shots to get home.

The course makes an enjoyable outing for golfers of all capabilities and all are welcome. The terrain is very gentle and there is an abundance of wildlife in the valley.

The course is being extended to 18 holes and the new 9 will open in mid 2004.
