About
It's not often you play a nine hole golf course with a backdrop of an ancient royal palace. You will find it in Falkland, though, home to the Falkland Palace and its neighbor, the Falkland Golf Club.
Falkland Golf Club opened in 1975. It's a short but tough test, set in lush farmland. It features an undulating parkland layout with a myriad of challenges.
No. 1 is nicknamed "The Stream," because there's a stream a few feet in front of the tee. If you are an extremely short hitter, this is a hazard. No. 5 is the first par 3, 207 yards, nicknamed "The Barn." The length is doable, but you're often shooting into the wind, making hitting the green in one shot harder.
No. 6 is another par 3, this time 152 yards. Drive wisely, though, as the green is protected by a couple of deep and difficult bunkers. No. 9 ends with more length, this time a 329-yard par 4. That stream from No. 1 is back, except further down, causing you to think about pulling out the iron. You also have to avoid out of bounds on the left and the right.
Falkland Golf Club features men and women's locker rooms. It also has a clubhouse with its own licensed bar, which can provide catering for pre-arranged groups.

Easy walking well maintained course-staff very hospitable and will definitely make return date in the future-a good all round test
Great course
A superb little course with a great community behind it!
Peaceful 9 holer
Had the course to myself. Small 9 holer but has a few challenging holes by lay out. Very enjoyable and reasonably priced. Will be back
Excellent time at Falkland GC
A local gem. Falkland was our first round of golf upon arriving in Scotland. Easy to get to and a really nice value. Staff is exceptional
Tight, flat course in lovely setting.
Good fun course, very enjoyable. Flat course in lovely setting. Great way to spend a sunny Saturday afternoon. Staff very friendly and welcoming.
Cold day with snow on East Lomond
First time out, we were made to feel welcome.
A few branches down after Storm Eowyn, but we used Mulligans to our advantage.
Some nice clearing up of the ditches going on
Fairways were in good condition, though borrowed fairway mats for the second 9 holes
On Golf Now the 15th? Tee is marked as a par 3, but on the course it's a 4.
Got the round for £10... happy with that.
Fabulous 9 hole course
Ideal course for a family round of golf with mix of standards of golfers! Nice backdrop some tricky holes and very warm welcome in the clubhouse! We will be back!!
9 Hole Gem
Fantastic 9hole course nicely done with space they have. Was made welcome by staff and player’s. Just don’t hit the ball left . Would recommend this course to anyone that likes a flatter course. First class .
Lovely wee 9 hole.
A delightful round here. Quite a short course so felt happy going round with just my irons. Fairways are slim and require a certain amount of accuracy off the tee but the rough is not punishing. The football pitch that others have mentioned isn’t on the course, it’s down the side of a fairway. They were clearly doing some work on the greens so had placed the holes on the fairway in front of the green. Made putting almost impossible! As a beginner it was perfect for me to work on my short game. It was also pretty much deserted which I enjoyed.

Always a good day here. For a small club the course is in good condition. Members are always friendly and welcoming.
Whilst maybe not the course for serious golfers, it is ideal for social ones that enjoy a nice leisurely round.
Quirky 9 hole course with a football pitch in the middle of hole 2 and 11
Small and tricky 9 hole course.
Very narrow fairways.
There is a football pitch and a maintenance hut that you have to navigate for the 2nd hole par 5.
Very small quick greens which make it challenging.
Good day all round apart from that the clubhouse completely closed at 3pm so we could not enjoy a refreshment after our round of golf.

I booked online and received a very warm welcome upon arrival. Everyone was super friendly, and being a visitor, was made to feel at home. The course is in very good condition and is very difficult as it Has very tight fairways and small greens. The members were all present at first tee off , and gave very valuable advise on course layout and hazards. The first 9 was a learning experience, and was difficult, but I set out to have fun, and we did have a good time., it is essential you keep the ball straight , the left side is all out of bounds , so play with caution. The second 9 was easier having already sampled the dangers on the first time round, and I shot a 4 over 38. A fantastic wee course and I totally recommend a visit.

Course was in fairly good condition. Was strange to play the 2nd over a football pitch which was in poor condition. Overall it was clear that they are doing their best with the very limited resources they have.
