First time visitor

Booked this course at last minute as part of a 3 ball.

It was very busy and we found ourselves behind a 4 ball of old codgers who refused to let us play through!

This ruined the round and our rhythm but all in all the course was in good shape considering the rain and we will be back again.

Not bad for what it is.

Course suffers badly from water logging at times and today was no different although a dry day. Tee boxes muddy mush and made driving difficult as you’d slide even with golf spikes on, this was the case for most tees. Having said the bad sides first the course does have some decent greens and smart views of the city on the higher parts of the course. Cost was £12 on the golf now app which is good value for round in your local area but I’d avoid if there’s been any rainfall in the previous days or day.

Let itself down

Course was in pretty poor condition in part due to the very wet weather we have had recently however here is also a lot of the course that needs attention. Landing in the middle of the fairway was a lot like landing in the first cut of rough and the rough you were lucky if you found you ball. There is also one green on the 8th hole that is in terrible condition. There is some really nice holes and the views over Glasgow are spectacular. Some of the holes are very well taken care of and are great to play but it’s the few holes that need a lot of attention that let the course down

Room for improvement

First time playing here. Short course, but hilly. Need to improve signage for holes, bunkers unplayable so free drops as classes as GUR. Would play again as still challenging

Would not recommend

Greens like fairways and "bunkers" had no sand at all, none of them. That's not an exaggeration, no sand, only rocks & weeds growing out them. The greens either had no grass or lumps of grass 1 side.of the green and just mud the other. Terrible course

Rouken Glen - well worth a go

A good course that I guess has benefited from some updating and investment since David Lloyd moved in next door.

Some bumpy greens, but on the whole very well kept.

Short compared to others, but considering the variation in elevation, still interesting and you will get to work your way through the clubs easy enough.

NOTE if you were not the most mobile some of the up-hill could be touch and go.

Covid means that spacing between rounds seems to have been stretched, but very well managed by the Rouken team
