Rowallan Castle Golf Club

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.

Amazing day out , played today for first time ever , struggled a little with finding each tee and tee boxes a little bare but course other than that was top!

Only seen 2 different groups out on the course , course has so much potential to be a great tourist attraction and a top top championship course if it was advertised more

Couldn’t complain ( other than , wear comfy shoes ) , will 100% be back

Today I treated myself to a game of golf ...first time on this course, given info a the pro shop ...played the first 6 holes then teamed up with a player from the club ...
Conditions of the course was better than I thought after reading reports .yes the tea off are bear but you can see the work going into it .fairways great ,rough well at time difficult to find ball even if it just landed off the fairway .overall long and very challenging but worth a game ...try not to get into one of the bunkers only 110 of them on the course and well placed to get into them

Had a great days golf at this course.
Staff very helpful.
Course was in great condition with varied tees and holes.
Great big undulating greens on a few holes.
Would recommend to anyone to come and play here.
I’ll definitely be back.

First thing you encounter at Rowallan is the grand entrance and scenic drive to the club house passing the historic castle.
All staff from George in the pro shop to the staff in the club and restaurant are very welcoming and helpful.
A nice touch that at sign in you are given a gift of Rowallan tees and pitch repair.
Due to the recent long spell of hot weather the tee boxes and some greens have suffered from drying out and are in need of maintenance .

This course is very long and challenging, it has 5 par 5's and a lot of bunkers , managed to get in around 8

The one thing about the course , although quite wide fairways any erratic shot off the straight will possibly lose your ball as the rough is tough.
It is quite hard to miss hit a ball and have it carry onto another fairway, this gives an idea of how wide the course is.

The course is worth a visit but be ready to accept its not in its prime condition.

Had a great day great coarse and Freindly excellent

The golf course was very pleasant, some lovely looking golf holes. Great choice for people staying in Glasgow that don't want to pay big money.

Brilliant course, fair but tough test. Welcome outstanding and free gift of tees, marker and pitch repair tool a great touch. Staff very friendly and helpful at all times given that weather yesterday morning was horrendous. Fantastic course, outstanding value for money and attention paid by staff was first class. Will definitely be back. Thank you so much.

Challenging course, with a great layout. Staff in club shop very friendly and helpful.

Greens and fairways in good condition

Tee boxes in poor condition need a bit of work done as most of them had no grass.

Bunkers need a bit of TLC as grass growing in the middle of them and need a bit more sand.

We had a bit of rain but no problems caused by this, course was fine.

All in all I would recommend this course

Played today (Tuesday 3rd Aug 2021) after weeks of hot dry weather and the Ayrshire skies decided to fall a little. Previously when I have played it has been close to a bog or field like condition and never near a £25 round golf course.

Today expected better, but even with a very small amount of rain you could see and feel the place (fairways included) having standing water on it.

I have always enjoyed the challenging holes and the great layout of the course. A lovely warm welcome from the pro and a free tee, marker and pencil pack was a good touch.

Onto the course and the walkways between tees are a little unkept with tee boxes looking burnt, cracking and generally used and unappealing.

Fairways where bearish and still don’t feel or look like the turf on another park/Heath land course in the area. I understand that course take 10/15 years to bed in but this haven’t changed from when I first played it 8 years ago.

The greens, although running true and a good challenge where very patchy, some mini cored, some with burnt dark orange areas, other markings (don’t have a green finger so can’t tell you want it was) and disappointingly very slow for this time of year.

Definitely improvements in drainage since my last visit but I think standards have dropped in regards to how the place now looks.

Maybe back in another 8 years to see how it is.More value for your cash not far for there.

Great course although tee boxes very bare due to the warm weather.

A great, scenic course with several challenging holes although mainly flat and an easy if a very long walk.
There has been a long dry spell of weather and the course is suffering as a result, although the greens and fairways were ok ,the tees were almost bare and water is badly needed.
Signage between holes is poor and we had to ask directions at one point, so a map scorecard would be a big improvement.
We also noted that there are no waste bins anywhere on the course so there are hundreds of broken tees lying on every tee and various litter lying around .
Overall, a good experience and we all agreed that we would come back.

From the tee you must avoid the bunkers if you want a good score.
