Crieff Golf Club - Ferntower Course
Rating Snapshot
About
The Ferntower Course is the 18-hole championship layout at Crieff Golf Club, which has been voted 29th best golfing facility in the UK by the readers of Golf World magazine. Ferntower is built on gently sloping parkland, with views over the Strathearn Valley that dramatically improve and unfold as the round progresses. With mostly wide fairways and the rough cut short enough to avoid prolonged ball searching, Ferntower appeals to all categories of handicapper. The par-71 golf course starts with a par-3 hole, a change from the norm. Although the opening hole measures 163 yards, it's all uphill, and there are three par 5s, among the remaining holes on the front nine.

Course in great shape
Despite all the rain we have had the course was in amazing shape. A lovely course to play and not too hilly. Members are friendly and was invited to join a 3 ball as I was playing on my own. Highly recommend a visit and I will be back in the future.
Great Golf Club
The course was in fantastic condition for the time of year with full greens and no mats. Credit to the green keeper's.
Winter golf
Winter golf after horrendous weather. Winter greens and tee’s as expected due to hard frost. Signage for following tee boxes were very poor to say the least.
Fair play to even keep the course open.
Food afterwards was nothing short of atrocious. Chicken wings like they were cooked on a radiator, cold macaroni cheese , burger order incorrect. Overall dreadful in clubhouse
Fantastic views
As always the staff were excellent and the course was in great condition, true fast running greens , a credit to the greens staff, you have to play this course to appreciate the panoramic views.
Great course
Very open on front 9, which is very tough. Gets tight on back 9 but a little easier.
Great course
Just a awesome place to golf. Course is always brillant and clubhouse is welcoming and a lovely place for a bite before you play.
One of my favourite place to go to golf.
Well worth it
Lovely setting nice and friendly tee off. straight but doesn’t need to be long, the aim of the game on this course. Brilliant sweeping par fives. Breathtaking scenery on 7th and panoramic views across Crieff. Smart finish and brilliant layout. Really well kept. Gets a 5/5 from me!
Great value for mondy
Course is in great condition and is worth playing if you haven’t already done so .
Crieff … a great day out
Amazing day , course great conditions and worth a visit
Great course
Me and my friends are over here on holiday and have been playing the usual tracks in St. Andrews and surrounding areas but this one of the best. The greens were the best I have putt on while on this trip. Overall conditions of the course were excellent and I will definitely play here when I am back over. Scott in the pro shop was very helpful as well.
