Sadly…

The course is one I’ve played many times and I know it is very early in the golf season but they currently have no greens; they have lost them and it might be a while before they recover. There is hardly any grass on them and putting is a tortuous experience. For the members’ sake I hope they recover quickly because it is a lovely club and the course itself is very good. I cannot, at the moment, recommend it .

Packed Full Course

Being local I have played the Tryst many times. It’s a decent course, flat and a good test for a beginner/intermediate player (like me).

The course was in decent condition considering it was the end of March and the volume of rain that had fallen in the past month.

HOWEVER, it became clear to me when I got there the reason I hadn’t played it for a while. The course was YET AGAIN absolutely crammed. And I mean jam packed. The last time I played it in the summer last year I walked off after 15 holes and nearly 5 HOURS of play. The Tryst has a history of getting as many people on the course as humanly possible. Probably to make up for money lost through Covid, but there is literally no space between teeing off and players waiting to tee off straight after you. This continues tee after tee, every single hole. There are constant hold ups due to over crowding on the course, and coupled with the fact there are a lot of older clientele who take longer.

It is incredibly frustrating.

I have complained before and all I got was “Aye, we are really busy……” and a shrug of the shoulders.

Not exactly a way to attract people to play again (which I won’t).

In summary, if you don’t mind waiting over 5 mins at every hole to tee off, it’s a nice course.

If you want a relaxing game in under 4 hours, forget it.

Winter at the Tryst

On a beautiful crisp afternoon in larbert, there's no better place to be than playing à round of golf at one of the best courses in Stirlingshire, the courses although going through some maintenance work was in great condition the greens were fast and the fairways cur back and tidy .

Booked at short notice through GolfNow,à bargain for an afternoon of golf.

Let down

I didn't get to play the course because I made a booking for Saturday 11th February however the there's has been an error and the tee time was made for the Friday. So when myself and friends turned up on Saturday there was no space for us.

I will be looking for a full refund or credited to my account

Great course no hills

Course again had full greens on and firm fairways which is fantastic for winter golf only thing I would say is the allocated tee times for golf now are too late with darkness coming in before 4pm only managed 15 holes due to light.

Another enjoyable day at Falkirk tryst finished with great food.

Still playable, despite horrible rain

We have a had a lot of rainfall recently and normally Falkirk Tryst can stand up tonight, but the greens were flooded, so winter greens it was, although there greens looked like water hazards, the course held up really well under foot.

Was it really November?

Our course had been closed for the weekend due to the hellish weather on Friday. Decided to have a look on Golf Now for deals. Seen The Tryst was available and glad we played it. The course was in great nick and have to say the greens were fast and in excellent condition. Would never have known it to be a November day. Wee bit slow play in front but really enjoyable day. Thanks.
