Rowallan Castle Golf Club

Lovely course but, should 100% have been closed the day we played. Will return in better weather but when every shot is played with standing water around the feet, you know it's time to close a course. My mate walked off after 13 (i think) and I played the rest myself.

Must be a lovely course in the summer.

Really enjoyable course. Every hole is well thought out and presents different challenges. For this time of year, the greens were in top nick, which was very pleasant. Underfoot, it was extremely wet, but it is October in Scotland, after all

Excellent coarse and set up we were unlucky with the weather as coarse took a lot of rain day before so the ground was wet and tacky will play it next year in dry weather

A proper challenge (especially with the stuff breeze) with some very long holes into wind. The views are great all around. This course is well worth a visit.

Great value for money. Felt there was some issues in areas with drainage, very wet in certain areas of fairways. Other than that, great service.

Through Golf Now I got a great deal on this course. I was a bit early, but the pro let me tee off which helped my onward logistics. The course is interesting and full of character with some lovely holes. For me the par 3 8th and the par 5 18th were standout holes. However, following a lot of overnight rain the course was generally sodden under foot which made conditions difficult. The greens were OK in general, and a lot of the tee boxes had sand covered divots. I played in some strong winds which increased the challenge. I'd certainly want to revisit the course in dry and calm conditions!

Greens average, bunkers unplayable and there are many bunkers. Not a single one raked for months by looks of it and barely any sand. Tee boxes were at in a terrible state.

Fairways have major drainage issues. Was undoubtedly a wet week before playing but early September on a sunny day I expected better

Shame as course design was impressive at some stage in its life

Wow, what a golf course, I can't believe I've just discovered this course, I've played all over the East and West Coast, and central, stunning off the tee's, bunkers everywhere, you just know this was a pro that designed it. Long, difficult, good greens, bunkers everywhere

Montgomery nailed it with this one, I only wanted to knock a half point off course condition for the bunkers sand, I felt they needed more sand but honestly I'm nit picking here, go play this one, it really is special

Great course drainage much better now Green's very good and true Guy in Pro Shop very helpful . Food As Ever First Class

Played a 2 ball on a warm summer day and the course was in a lovely condition. Its a very long course with some lovely picturesque holes although some of the tee boxes were slightly bare. For £30 each it was well worth the money and the 18th in particular is lovely when playing up to the castle. There are LOTS of bunkers but in my opinion it just adds to the challenge. I will definitely play it again at some point

Amazing value course, great layout lots of challenging holes only slight criticism greens not as good as expected but absolutely well worth it

Loved the friendliness of this club...lovely welcome and given a lot of useful info in the pro shop...thanks for that.

The course is long especially for a high handicapper like myself but it plays fair and can make up distance if you get the ball running. I found the greens generous and running quite fast but true. ALL the greens are surrounded by bunkers...bunkers that wouldn't look out of place on a championship links course....so beware. I great variety of holes await with no two alike and all in great co6.

Would I play it again....too right I would.

I loved it .

The course layout will appeal to many, with several interesting possibly even spectacular holes.. The problem is that as the back nine unfolds it becomes a ‘slog’’ a seemingly endless array of very long holes. It’s a tough walk. The off course facilities are excellent with a lovely glasshouse restaurant overlooking the practise green . The drive through the estate and up to the clubhouse is also great. The staff are very friendly and welcoming.

The other significant issue is course condition. We were told it was in great condition but in truth it’s not. The tee boxes are really poor and the greens are at best ‘ok’. I’ve played the course a few times over the last 6 or 7 years and the greens have often been an issue., the grass just feels a bit thin and slightly unhealthy. They certainly couldn’t be described as lush, although the ball does run true..

I feel bad about not being able to recommend the course, because in many ways I love the course and will almost certainly play it again, but, it still needs work and it is an exhausting walk. Sorry.
