Dating back to 1891, when the original inspection of the land was conducted for Braehead Golf Club, the course is a par 70 measuring 6,053 yards. The club prides itself on its friendliness, claiming to be the domain of ordinary working men and women.

The golf course at Braehead is filled with a variety of challenging holes offering wonderful vistas of the surrounding landscape. It's one of the best tests of golf in the area, but remains friend to both seasoned and amateur golfer alike.

Little Gem

Challenging course with magnificent scenery. Fairways were well maintained and greens immaculate. Some very tricky par 3s. Altogether a great 18 hole course that I would highly recommend will definitely return

Braehead Golf Club Experience

Played here with my wife for the first time and had a great day. The staff on site were very friendly and accommodating, even allowing us to play early to avoid the medal being played on the same day. Although the course was busy we found all the members to be very friendly and relaxed. The layout of the course is lovely and in very good condition. I will definitely play again and wholeheartedly recommend the course to anyone who is interested.

Great Course

Really enjoyed this course. Considering the amount of rain we've had the course was in remarkably good condition. Very interesting mix of holes and lovely par 3s. The greens were also in incredibly good condition given the time of year.

The staff I met were very friendly and helpful, didn't use the clubhouse but the pro shop looks good. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the course and will be back in the summer to play it at its peak.

Good course but next to zero guidance

I enjoyed the golf on this beautiful course that has so much potential. 2nd course in 10 days with next to no guidance for visitors I.e. no scorecard (pro shop shut) or map; nothing on tees re distance or shape of hole; and a number of holes closed but no markings or warnings this. Really frustrating

Ruined by slow play

It's a nice course in good condition but some members clearly don't understand golf etiquette in terms of letting faster players through. A 4 hour round for a relatively short course is ridiculous and not letting someone through and making them wait 5 minutes or more on most tees, sometimes because you are having a chat on the green after holding out, is quite rude and arrogant. I'm sure I was just unlucky but the committee may want to remind their members about letting faster players through.

Ruined by slow play and poor etiquette

This is a nice course an decent condition which I have played before. It is enjoyable and the staff are always welcoming and friendly, But unfortunately at least some of the members don't seem to have a grasp of golfing etiquette, specifically, letting faster players through. There were numerous occasions I had to wait 5 minutes or more on the tee or fairway and on more than one occasion the group in front simply stopped for a chat (for several minutes) before leaving the green and allowing me to play. I don't think I'm alone in thinking that's actually quite rude and arrogant. If you are happy to take 4 hours for a round, this is the place for you: if not, there are plenty of courses nearby where most members do understand good etiquette.

2 ball at Braehead GC

I had not been to this course for a few years but found it good condition plus the greens were in excellent condition. Tee boxes were a bit worn as were bits of the course but good use of GUR markings made it very playable.

Barman in the clubhouse was very friendly although his female supervisor was very obnoxious, total jobsworth.

A great afternoon's golf, once we got past the very slow 4 ball in front. Value for money at £14.99 pp.

Would recommend this course for anyone looking for a game.

Much appreciated

Ian

First Time Playing Braehead

Was my first time playing Braehead and my first round of golf in over 5 years. It was a very pleasurable round starting with the kindness of the staff on the pro shop. Course was playing very nicely and it’s a fantastic layout with lovely views of stirling. Would highly recommend playing this course. It was fantastic value for money and I will 100% be back.
