On a good day the course would be lovely. However the course was completely soaked and in my opinion should not have been open for play. I will try the course again during the summer and hopefully have more fun then.

Lovely course but very wet and soggy by the looks of all the holes around course drainage seems to be a problem even greens were very soft would play again beautiful layout and nice countryside. Weather has been pretty poor and a lot of rain so this hasn’t helped

fairways were flooded,greens were good, we were told it was wet under foot,got told (when we finished round) that cows had broken onto course some fairways were a mess.Very wet ! If they gave us two for one that would have been a fair price.Do not go there if there has been a lot of rain .

"Really nice course"

First time visiting Buchanan Castle. This is probably the flattest golf course I've ever played. There is nothing even remotely resembling a hill anywhere on the course. Unfortunately this means when it rains (which it does quite a lot in the West of Scotland) there is nowhere for the rain water to run off to which meant the ground was very wet throughout the course. The greens were in excellent condition and the layout of the course is a fair test which we thoroughly enjoyed,.

This little gem is such a wonderful visit from start to finish great layout great greens and the real friendliness of staff and members at Buchanan Castle made us feel very welcome
The weather was suitable for ducks and many holes had surface water but this did not put us off taking in the beautiful scenery and the great layout.
We will be back to play when much drier and can't wait

This course is in fantastic condition, from tees to fairways to greens. An excellent golfing experience. Of course it helped that it was the hottest day of the year, and that we only saw about 8 other golfers during our round. An absolute must for the money!

Flatish parkland course in excellent condition greens so fast the quickest I've encountered and in great condition. I have never broken handicap ever, some water features make this a good test of your ability, fairways generous but even second cut of rough hard to play from but a fair and enjoyable test.

My Dad used to be a member at Buchanan Castle and I can see why. Very well laid out , mature parkland course. Many tricky holes set out in very picturesque surroundings. Thoroughly enjoyed our round on a beautifully maintained course. We have already been back twice now. Special mention for the Pro Shop team who could not be more welcoming.

Excellent layout but the course was completely waterlogged and should have been closed. The staff were very pleasant and friendly. The Fairways and greens were covered in puddles and I was disappointed that I was allowed out in such horrendous conditions. No doubt on a dry day this course would be a pleasure to play.

Due to wet weather conditions, the course was not at its best. However, the pro made us very welcome and the pro shop is well stocked with competitively priced stock. The course is well laid out and is very picturesque with mountains as a back drop and a salmon river running by several of the greens. The course is typical parklands course, with hidden brooks and ware features to keep you on your toes. If you are in the are, give it a go...nice people and nice course. Also a nice club house.
Would recommend.

Buchanan Castle is a nice course in a picturesque location near Drymen. Well worth a visit. Although a flat course (which would probably suit a lot of golfers) it's very enjoyable. Lovely features and a few water hazards which can be intimidating or penalising. Very good facilities. Staff and members were also very welcoming. Good day out at a competitive price. Will visit again.
