Alloa Golf Club
About
Golf course architect James Braid designed a 6,266-yard par 71 course on the 150 acres of rolling parkland beneath the Ochil Hills that are Alloa Golf Club's home. A test for even the most seasoned golfer, Alloa also accommodates high handicappers.
All golfers will enjoy the final four holes: two long par 3s split by two long and extremely challenging par 4s. Make sure to keep an eye out for the ditch in front of the 17^th green.
Alloa Golf Club dates back to 1935. It was built on the estate of Schawpark House. One of the most influential families in medieval Scotland, the Schaws were governors of Stirling Castle until the reign of James IV.
Facilities at the club include a locker room, snooker and a dining room with a lounge bar and large flat screen television. There are also several practice areas.

Great value
A great day out on a course in excellent condition, highly recommended and far better than other local courses
Great Course
Hadn't played here before, but got a good price on Golfnow and thought'why not?'.
Played as a single, set off 10 mins after a 2-ball and didn't see anoy traffic other than them, who weren't holding me up.
A few blind shots, so it was tought playing it first time, but I'd gladly play again.
Great views and value.
FINE, LONG ESTABLISHED COURSE.
An excellent and at times, very scenic course. A good challenge for players of all levels without being excessively difficult for higher handicappers.
Awesome course
We travelled from England to play this course based on the glowing reviews posted by visitors who played here. We were not disappointed. Course lay out, greens, pace of play, warm welcome by the pro assistant, terrific views,state of the course as a whole were beyond our expectations. We will be touring Scotland again on September at the west coast. Alloa is out of our way but we will make it our mission to revisit this golf course because it’s worth going out of our way. I’ve played over 270 golf courses and Alloa got to be one of the courses I admire.
Alloa golf course
Everything was really good
Course was really nice & in really good condition
Was on my own but after 5 holes joined another player
Very slow as course busy due to everyone now playing after COVID plus people still furloughed
No facilities as still closed
Pro was very helpful & everyone was really friendly
Would definitely play again
Happy as Larry
Was my first time playing here and i was not dissapointed. Course was a bit wet after a couple days of rain but was perfect apart from that. Well worth another visit.
Great day had by all. Bit wet but course looking great
30th covid birthday
A 4th player was added to our 3 ball, was slightly worried due to covid, luckily he was a top lad and as so far none of us has had any issues
Great course
Staff were fantastic, and so were the members we met. Pace wasn’t the quickest, but it was a Sunday afternoon - so expected to be busy.
Course was in great condition and some spectacular views going round the course.
Definitely some challenging holes, and some long par 3s & 4s. Value for money was great.
We never used the club house, but certainly looked good when we looked in.
Slow golf
Really nice course first and foremost. Pro shop staff nice and friendly and inviting. Knew who I was when I said my tee of time and told me about course.
Course plays well with some minor drainage issues on the mid course area but not a real issue apart from between holes where it got messy.
Came across slow players in front consistently. We were a 3 balls and came up again 1 2 and 3 balls playing incredibly slow. Unfortunately there were other players which dampened this experience be overly loud talking / shouting when holes were close to tee boxes.
Would play again. Tulliallan is great alternative to this course also but this was purse at Alloa was much better value.
Lovely place to be
Rain was forecast but we only got some the last few holes. The course was immaculate if a bit wet underfoot. Could hardly get a bad lie here . The greens were slow given the amount of rain that has fallen in the last few weeks but the surfaces were very true.
We hardly saw a soul; nobody even in the pros shop when we arrived. We played at our own pace and three of us were round in three hours and ten minutes. We have played here two or three times in the last year and maybe the only thing negative is the sand in the bunkers is very heavy and, being wet, it was a devil of a job getting out of a trap. We shall return ; the views are quite exceptional too.
Good day greens in great condition staff very friendly
Not a great day out
Arrived to be told that the times were running late as it was their club championship that day. Started over 30 minutes late took about 5 hours to complete the round.
Staff in pro shop seemed totally uninterested and there was no communication as to when we were to play.
Course is nice but most greens were waterlogged.
I’d play again but wait for better weather and phone to check how busy the course was.
Shot an 83 which was nice
Great day out weather absolutely beautiful course in Great condition for being so early in season
Beautiful Course
Small hills, fantastic layout and the greens were in perfect condition. Second time I’ve played this course in the last 2 weeks and I can’t say anything bad about it. I will definitely be back.
Great course
To find an excellent course on full greens ( except one ) and in such good condition at the end of December is a rarity. Some great holes , fantastic views of the Ochils . What’s not to like ?
