Golfer Reviews
Off course wasnt open other than pro shop so cant comment. Course condition was decent for this tome of year. Back nine was a bit heavy going
Its a real shame
Yes this is winter but this course is absolutely soaking, tees and greens quite good but everything in between is close to abysmal also teed off behind a group of youths playing a university tie who were extremely slow eventually teed off 20 mins late and got held up on nearly every single hole the pace of play was bordering on ridiculous especially when there was 5 of them aimless walking about every 'fairway' from the 13th someone from the club really needs to have a word with the uni's about their representatives course etiquette. The staff at the restaurant were pleasant and helpful its just a shame that the state of the course really lets it down as the location, set up, lay out, design is absolutely brilliant if only this course could sort out its drainage it would be up there as one of the best parkland courses in Ayrshire but it is a million miles away from that in its current predicament. I would only consider playing this again if I knew there was no university's playing and there had been a 3 week dry spell in Scotland so really that is highly unlikely as we struggle to go 3 days without rain and this course just can handle the rain.
I am sorry to hear about your review and experience at Rowallan Castle.
Firstly, I can only apologise about the pace of play set by the University group. We have made the organiser aware of your comments and hopefully this wont happen again in the future.
Secondly, regarding the underfoot conditions of the course. I think its fair to say that this has been one of the wettest golfing years on record. In fact, in October we recorded our wettest month since opening the course in 2010. And with November not really being a dry month, the course has had very little rest from the rain.
We are currently working on our winter maintenance programme which sees drainage projects on 6 holes already underway - with more to be installed. We are hoping this will help the course recover quicker after prolonged wet periods, and result in a better experience for all golfers here at Rowallan.
We hope you will return to Rowallan Castle Golf Club in the near future.

On arrival here unfortunately the weather was horrendous. The course was open but should have been closed. The facilities were absolutely first class, only problem was at end of our game they closed the place early & we had nowhere to change our wet clothes.We will come back another time when the weather is more favourable, as the course looks very nice & challenging. Food was excellent, friendly staff , lovely restaurant & would recommend for others to visit.
First time playing at Rowallan Castle and I must admit, it was fantastic. Quite long and challenging but was very enjoyable. Food was lovely and staff were very helpful and friendly.
Waterlogged day out
Must be the wettest course I've played. Played in Aug course completely waterlogged. I would only recommend this course in the middle of a heat wave.
Poor
The course is playing like the middle of the winter. The course is saturated and has daisies growing in the middle of fairway. In addition some greens looked infected.
Big course
Nice course, if it been wet it will stay wet. When it's dry it's a real test of golf. Love the course & would play again
Great Layout, Poor Condition
Lets start with the positives, the layout of this course is fantastic and there are some amazing holes. Unfortunately, it was in very poor condition. Most holes were very boggy (it had rained leading up to the day - but not that much).
Great course to play
Played this course with my.wife we were enthralled with the Improvements made from 4 years ago would play this course again views were spectacular.
Great challenge
A great course with lots of challenging holes as it should be on a championship course, bunkers are to be avoided and there is lots of them all in a great experience and definitely will be back.
Disappointed
Having played the course before was looking forward to it but it was a disappointing experience. The fairways had not been cut for a good number of days as the daisies were out in full force and trying to find a ball even on the fairway was a challenge. However the main issue was the greens. Their condition was very poor. They had been hollow tined and sanded but for May they were not good - bumpy and the ball didn't go where it should when it hit a hole. For this time of year they should have been much better. Cost to play was therefore disappointing.
Excellent
Course was great even in the rain.
Would highly recommend and will be back
good layout , tough course, too many bunkers in the middle of fairways otherwise good.
Thank you for your review and hopefully we will see you back at Rowallan Castle again this season.
Very poor course
Played on the 5th may 2017 course is a great layout but conditions of fairways and greens were horrific fairways were bare greens were probably worse greens I have played on very bear and bumpy
Looked to have been cored in the last couple of weeks green and fairways full off Moss very disappointed
We are sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your game here at Rowallan.
Due to some course maintenance work, the cold and dry weather that we experienced affected the recovery period on the course.
We hope this hasn't put you off visiting Rowallan again this season.
Some change in 8 months.
This is not my first time playing this course and the last couple of times it has been exceptionally wet underfoot, and it was summer 2016 I played last.
Went to rowallan castle on Monday and found the course to be in good condition and lovely dry fairways,greens were hollow cored and a bit hairy and bumpy but it's early in the season.
Well done rowallan castle green staff good job:) I will be back 100%.
Great layout
We had played this course before and it did not disappoint us ,so much so we are now looking into the membership offers
Fantastic golf course
Had a great day of golfing at this course, scenery is lovely. Big greens, wide fairways tees are in great condition. Only minor negative is that sign posts for next hole are non existent which can cause holding up players behind you.Other than that had an exellent day really enjoyable course
Nice course but wouldnt go back!
We played the course on a warm sunny day in March - the course itself is in excellent condition for the time of year although the greens had been spikes recently so didn't run particular true. The course is very nice however it was let down by a couple of things - (1) It could do with a lot more directional signage - it isn't very obvious where the next tee is if you haven't played the course before and there was no map option from the pro in the shop (2) an overly officious member felt the need to stop his car and chastise one of my party as a small part of his trolley was on the tee - a completely unnecessary and over the top reaction by some pompous, old school member which tainted an otherwise enjoyable game of golf!
Thank you for your review Scotgolfer7.
We hope to see you back at Rowallan when the summer arrives.
