Course was great

The Course was perfect and very well maintained. I found it very challenging as a new player but would love to revisit.

Stunning - must play

Having played way back in 2009 I was quite excited to go back and see how the course had matured. Back in 2009 my obvious memory was the back 9 and views over Loch Lomond and my recollection was that the front 9 wasn't as strong with a short run of weak holes - having now visited in 2023 I can happily confirm this is not the case. Both front 9 and back 9 are a joy to play.

The front 9 plays in the low lands and as others have mentioned can be slightly damp under foot but they have done a lot of work to ensure the course is playable at all times. The front 9 provides a nice mix of holes working their way out away from the clubhouse before turning back round and slowly starting the ascent which gets you ready for the back 9.

Once you hit the 9th not only do you get a continued nice mix of holes but the views change from those of the lowlands set amongst heather and trees to some spectaculr vists looking out across Loch Lomond. The back 9 moves into what is more highlands golf but don't be put off by any slopes, non are silly or quirky and the holes just meander up the landscape and fit beautifully into the surroundings along with providing some epic panoramic views.

The 10th is a stand out hole for me, not long, playing uphill but setting the scene for the holes ahead with the mountains in the distance, framing from the trees and views out to the right looking out and across Loch Lomond. Obviously the 14th Par 3 gets the plaudits and you can see why with the run of holes lying ahead which drop you back down and run alongside the Loch.

As you would expect the course was will maintained from tee to green, the clubhouse and service expectional and warm welcome from Scotland second to none. I definitely won't wait as long to go back and play again - must play and highly recommended.

Finally, I doubt anyone could play this golf course without taking a photo!

Great course

Played on a beautiful summers day and despite the recent heatwave the course was in good condition.

The greens are playing great, maybe a little slower than usual given the heat and longer grass. The fairways look very scorched, quite yellow across the board but considering some of the other courses played recently they still play well.

The views on the back 9 especially are tremendous and the Par 3 16th is a pleasure to play towards the loch from an elevated tee. Just wonderful

It was a busy day and we got bunched up around the 16th but still got round in a bit over 4 hours

Not bad value but only because we got a deal for under £50

Tremendous course

The layout of this course is fantastic. Lots of water around first four holes, so make use of the excellent practice facilities on the range, or in the nets, to warm up, before you start. Views on the course are outstanding. Clubhouse facilities and staff are excellent, also one of the best stocked pro shops around. Get yourself there, and enjoy a great day.

Great Home Course

The course's drainage is doing well. The excessive rainfall is generally being dealt with effectively. As my home course it is tough but makes all the other courses I play seem easier.
