Piperdam is a Golf and Country Resort set up on the Western boundary of Dundee, surrounded by tasteful housing.<\/p>\n

The “Wee Piper”\u00a0is a good par 3, 9 hole golf course, with at least 3 or 4 of the holes easily being able to be suited to a\u00a0decent 18 hole layout.\u00a0\u00a0Piperdam also has a fairly demanding 18\u00a0 hole course as well.<\/p>\n

Depending on the wind the first is a challenging opening hole, requiring a rescue or longer club, followed by a well architected 2nd hole.\u00a0 After that, holes 3-8 are in more open space and very forgiving off the tee.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Only\u00a0two of the holes\u00a0present\u00a0any “carry”\u00a0requirements (2nd and 9th).<\/p>\n

Although the course has views of the Piper Dam, the dam water doesn’t come into play at all.\u00a0 This is a fun little course, that will still challenge most handicaps.<\/p>\n

My round was a better score than my general play would have expected, which was poor, helped by the fact that there are not many hazards.<\/p>\n

This is a nice little course, but in my view only really worth the travel if you were combining a day at Piperdam, as it\u00a0presents a nice accompaniment to the 18 hole course.\u00a0 It would make a good society day out.<\/p>\n
