Beautiful but Soggy
What a smashing layout and course was in immaculate condition considering how much rain had fell. Some stunning holes with amazing views of Ben Lomond and surrounding hills. Was very, very damp on the initial fairways but loads of rainfall over the last few months and a lot of water hazards won't help the drainage. Would love to play again in the summer monthsReviewer Rating

What can I say about this place?
Stunning layout in great condition with some outstanding views over the famous Loch Lomond.
The front 9 felt a bit tighter off the tee and fairway position is key, where the back 9 felt you could open up a little bit more.
The lovely 14th is a fine downhill par 3 playing towards the Loch but picking the right club is going to be vital.
There is a fair bit of water around but mostly visible and wont get caught out anywhere.
Lots of different tee options though so depending on ability, everyone should be able to enjoy this cracking golf course.
Food after is great too.

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!

Must play course?
Beautiful course in a beautiful location. Everyone was very friendly and the course was spectacular in places. Definitely a challenging test for a mid-handicapper like me, greens in particular were a challenge but an enjoyable one. Will definitely come back when I'm around Loch Lomond!Reviewer Rating

Not Impressed with course condition!!!
Booked to play the 'Open Competition' today and arrived an hour before my tee-time to be pleasantly greeted by the pro-shop staff. Got signed in and had the breakfast included in the cost, so far so good. Got to the 1st tee 20 mins before my tee-time and 2 mins before I was due to tee off was advised my 2 playing partners had cancelled at the last minute. Was told there was another tee-time in the comp 40 mins later which I could join in with. Went back and waited and 10 mins before this time was told that person I was now meant to be playing with had also cancelled!!!!! I then had 2 options, wait until 11am (3 hours after I arrived) or go out on my own straight away but not take part in the competition! I decided to go out on my own as I was totally hacked off that they couldn't split the other 4 balls between 10 and 11am to make a 3 and a 2 ball!!!! As soon as I set foot on the course I immediately knew it should have been closed. The fairways were so soft through the rain there was no run at all on the ball at all. The greens must have been running at 2 on the meter as they were so slow it was ridiculous. Every footstep was in soaked, soft pathetic grass. The course was not playable and should have been closed but I would imagine the £45.00 per player they would have lost if they cancelled the comp was the reason this 'competition' was allowed to continue. On that point I presume some of my entry fee was towards the longest drive, nearest the pin and winner trophy prize but none of that was refunded bearing in mind I was now no longer in the competition.The only plus is that the course has a nice layout, unfortunately I wont be back to try again. Staff were very nice but whoever makes the decisions on the course being open is only interested in the balance sheet and not the player experience.
