Rowallan Castle Golf Club

The course layout will appeal to many, with several interesting possibly even spectacular holes.. The problem is that as the back nine unfolds it becomes a ‘slog’’ a seemingly endless array of very long holes. It’s a tough walk. The off course facilities are excellent with a lovely glasshouse restaurant overlooking the practise green . The drive through the estate and up to the clubhouse is also great. The staff are very friendly and welcoming.

The other significant issue is course condition. We were told it was in great condition but in truth it’s not. The tee boxes are really poor and the greens are at best ‘ok’. I’ve played the course a few times over the last 6 or 7 years and the greens have often been an issue., the grass just feels a bit thin and slightly unhealthy. They certainly couldn’t be described as lush, although the ball does run true..

I feel bad about not being able to recommend the course, because in many ways I love the course and will almost certainly play it again, but, it still needs work and it is an exhausting walk. Sorry.

Played with my two mates and we all agreed how good the condition of the coarse was absolutely enjoyed the round, From checking in the man who greeted me couldn’t have any more pleasant very professional and gave me a run down of the condition of the coarse.It was only the second time we played the coarse but will definitely be back.

Excellent course, challening but full of great holes and amazing views. Great condition too

Beautiful course, well layout out bunkers in fairways within range for average drivers, green have some great designs ,tee areas where not the best (the golf pro had pointed this out before starting) , you do have a bit of a walk between some greens to tees. Great Challenge. I

very well constructed course in a lovely location with great views and easy to get to from Glasgow. will definitely be back down to play again.

Good course for time of year greens we’re in decent condition, fairways little wet in places overall a good challenging course, will be back.

Lovely course but, should 100% have been closed the day we played. Will return in better weather but when every shot is played with standing water around the feet, you know it's time to close a course. My mate walked off after 13 (i think) and I played the rest myself.

Must be a lovely course in the summer.

Loved the friendliness of this club...lovely welcome and given a lot of useful info in the pro shop...thanks for that.
The course is long especially for a high handicapper like myself but it plays fair and can make up distance if you get the ball running. I found the greens generous and running quite fast but true. ALL the greens are surrounded by bunkers...bunkers that wouldn't look out of place on a championship links course....so beware. I great variety of holes await with no two alike and all in great co6.
Would I play it again....too right I would.
I loved it .

Conditions of the course were terrible, no where near the value of £35 for a round! Green keepers getting in the way of general play and the walk between holes was far too long.

Clubhouse and shop staff very friendly.
Course very wet but greens still quick.

Long course so you need to be fit or use a Buggy.
Some really good holes and will suit longer hitters but very enjoyable.
Definitely worth playing ........at least ONCE !

Beautiful and the scenery is inspiring. Pretty much every hole is stunning. Can’t wait to get back and play again. Only downside is the tee boxes have pretty much no grass on them.
