The Pro was very welcoming and the course played well considering it's winter. Only 12 holes open but I knew that was going to be the case.

good course with the approach shots to the greens and the greens quite tricky for a first time player.

The view from standing at the highest point was such lovely sights that I can see the reason why 4 holes either start or end there.

Worth a visit if in Dunblane

Nice Course

Course well looked after and layout easy to follow. Each hole is challenging as undulating and most slope away to lowest point. There is some shared greens but are generally very tricky to play but fair.

Really enjoyed our round and will play again.

Great Course

Had a great time here, good mixture of holes and some good views, particularly at the 10th. Fairways ran fast so was also quite helpful at times! Was fairly busy, had a few parts where the fairway was out of order and not many water obstacles, but overall was a good course!

Superb VFM for such an attractive course.

Lovely mature parkland course in good condition. Greens were especially good and challenging at times. Terrible weather didn’t spoil the round and I’ll be back soon.

First time playing in a long time.

First time I’ve played here in a long time. I understand that the time of year course isn’t up to it’s full potential but when you have winter mats that are soaking wet or even under water, it’s hard to play off. Even the surrounding area was very slippery to get to the mat.

Slow Play

We were only a two ball and teed off at 1 pm after playing 16 holes totally lost the will to live and walked off after nearly 4 hours. We were behind a 3 ball who were in a medal but they were spraying the ball all over the place and taking lots of provisional balls. There was no one in front of them They had plenty of opportunities to let us but there was no way they were going to do that. The field was backing up behind us So would I come back and play again certainly not because if this is the caliber of the clubs members then they do not deserve our custom

Very Very slow pace of play

played on a Friday afternoon with my son pace of play was absolutely terrible waited on every tee up to the 10th. Managed to get through an elderly couple then got stuck behind a group of 4 guys who I think were playing there version of the ryder Cup. The greens had been cored and sanded so putting was a hit or miss don't know what they were doing but they did it very slowly. Had to give up at 13 .we aren't fast players but i was losing the will to live don't think i will bother with this course again

Braehead GC 28/10/20

On arrival at the course we were informed that the greens were being “Hollow Tined” but there would be temporary greens in operation where the grounds men were working.

This was not the case in the temporary greens..

We were unable to complete 3 holes and had to skip 1 (par 3) due to the work on the greens. Further to this a lot of earth was left on the greens after raking making some greens impossible to putt.

Signage on the course was inadequate leading to confusion at times as to which hole was next.

This was disappointing as when I last played, albeit quite some years ago it was a very pleasant experience.
