Best in area

Cowglen is in great condition in particular the greens. It is a very fair test requiring accuracy more than power. The facilities are good especially the practice areas with the covered range,two short game areas and putting area which is maintained to match the actual greens. The staff are friendly and approachable. I play a lot of golf and I enjoy playing lots of other courses but they rarely tick as many boxes for me.

Gem of a course

Great well laid out course which is immaculate, greenstaff must work 24/7 to keep it that way. The view from the 8th is simply stunning. Some very challenging holes here, would recommend a round here to try it.
From arriving you are made welcome in the Pro shop who are very friendly and will do all they can to help you. There is a driving academy so you can warm up and they have two short game areas to practice on. Must admit I think these are the best practice facilities for miles.

Also found that the members were very welcoming something you don't see at many courses.
Great course, great greens staff and great members, what more could you ask.

Fantastic course

i have played this course several times and it never ceases to impress me. Every hole is completely different and it is a great test of golf. The greens are superb all year round, I even played them in December and they were great. The views from some parts of the course are just stunning, wait till you tee off from the 8th tee. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to my next round there.

Wee Gem

Great course in really good condition. The course is challenging but would suit all levels and I am proposing it for our golf society rota, as it is really handy for Glasgow city centre. The greens were as good as you will play anywhere and the practice facility is brilliant.

Recent round at Cowglen Glasgow

From the moment we arrived at Cowglen we were made to feel welcome by the staff and members.
The club has good practice facilities including driving range and short game practice area.
The course is undulating parkland with a good mix of holes and challenges, it was also in very good condition. After we played the caterers looked after us with great club sandwiches. Would be happy to recommend and play again.

Can't wait to play it again!

Lived near this course my whole life and have played most courses in the area but had never played here. Got a deal on golf now and thought I would give it a go. Found the staff very friendly and informative and felt right at home before even getting to the first tee. The course itself was in fantastic condition and the greens were just superb. The course layout is excellent with some really well designed holes. I left very angry with myself that I had not played the course sooner. I also left with a membership application form! If you have not played Cowglen I would definitely recommend you give it a try.
