Golf Course Review Dunbar Golf Course Played Sept 2011. Dunbar is an Open qualifying venue. Ample clubhouse with fair & reasonably priced food & drink. In the bar were plans for development of the course, including adding 9 holes, a hotel, and some seaview housing. The proshop is a walk around the 3rd hole (don't cross fairway!) from the car park. The 1st tee is by the proshop. The opening 3 holes lie inland from an impressive stone wall which runs the length of the 18th. Once beyond the seawall you are immediately adjacent to the sea. If the tide is in and the wind up, then spray will cover some greens, especially on the back 9. There's the odd quirky par-3 with shallow (but long) greens and a road tight by the pin (alla Road Hole @ Old Course). At the end of the course (12th) there's a former dwelling that comes into play. The course has fabulous views but do block out the ugly cement works at the turn. The club takes a lot of time to keep the course very tidy and smart. Is it worth the 60 quid green fee, not sure.
