Golf has been played on the Gowf Field of Loudon at the the Loudon Gowf Club since the 16th century, when it was the private course for the Loudon Castle's Campbell family; as for the Gowf thing, that's not a typo but the old Scottish word for golf. Many believe that in the more than 400 years the golf course has been gowfed upon it has never been plowed. Many credit this fact with being the reason why Loudoun's golf course is often ranked among the best of the Scottish inland gowf courses.

The golf course at the Loudoun Gowf Club measures 6,005 yards and features a par of 68 with a standard scratch score of 69; "ladies" have the option of golfing 5,193 yards with a par of 71 and a standard scratch score of 70.

Visitors are welcome at the Loudoun Gowf Club during the week, but they must prebook via telephone, e-mail or fax and have to dress properly: no trainers (sneakers), jeans, tracksuits or soccer colors.

Absolute Gem of a course

Although the fairways were a bit scorched, which isn't something you hear very often in scotland, the greens were in perfect condition. The course is very forgiving for an amateur like myself, so it was very enjoyable to play even with the occasional wayward shot. Due to current restrictions, there were no amenities available, hence the poor score here. I will definitely be back and hopefully i can rectify the one poor score i gave the course, which really wasn't their fault.

Definitely worth a visit

Have always intended visiting this course but never got around to it , seeing the reviews on here made our minds up to book a tee time.
We arrived in enough time to have a coffee and staff were all courteous and the golf secretary that checked our booking was very helpful.
The course is a mixture off challenges and a second game would benefit from knowing the green placements, the first hole is just over the hill for example.
Many of the fairways are tree lined but not too much that you arent able to recover your shot.
The actual fairways are suffering from the long dry spell but the greens are in great condition, the 12th nearest the clubhouse was perfect
14th &15th running along the side of the road are interesting if you have a bad slice , well protected with trees but adds to the challenge to keep it straight
We really enjoyed this course and will be back for more
