A few folk I've spoken to say 'yeah, its nice enough but its a bit of an up and down layout'.
That's true, but its still a good challenge. Lots of trees and strategic bunker placement make it less than straightforward. The greens are really nice and the fairways well maintained.
The staff are pleasant and friendly and the golfers, although a bit slow at times - and somewhat reluctant to let a faster single player play through - are chatty and welcoming.
I'd definitely recommend it.

Nothing wrong with the course. The weather today was torrential. The course should never have been open. But Golf Now decide that cancellation is not an option absolute joke and an absolute waste of money.
Considering unsubscribing.
Very disappointed.

Its probably not the best idea to play your first 18 holes in 6 months at Rouken Glen .
Seeing that it was my first form of meaningful exercise in half a year my capacity for scaling the nearly Vertical slopes of the Outward nine turned out to be somewhat lacking.
Knackered by hole 4. The views are spectacular however. Its a course where you'll need good lob wedge skills if you come up short but there are some lovely driving holes too and some elevated tees to tempt you to bomb one onto the green far below. The putting surfaces could do with some TLC but all in all an enjoyable round with plenty par threes thrown in.
I'd advise some high altitude training tho!

Very friendly young lad at the Pro Shop, his pleasant helpful manner and a good warm welcome sets up the whole experience. Yeah it was wet, Shotts isnt the best for drainage, but it's a course I know well and it's just the right balance of challenge and reward. Hilly in places but nice views of the Lanarkshire countryside and some lovely driving holes.....the 6th and the 11th stand out for me. Greens were let down by some standing water but in the main were receptive to confident putting. Definitely 9ne 9f my favourite courses.
