Unpleasant
Half way through the round we were challenged by the greenkeeper as to why we weren’t using the rakes in the bunkers. I thought COVID guidelines are don’t touch rakes or flags. His attitude towards us was pretty confrontational and left a bad taste in the mouth which put me right off my game. The fairways are in poor condition, very little run on them even on a dry day. This place should be a top course but still needs major improvements.
Developing slowly
Second round at Rowallan and enjoyed it a great deal. Several years have passed since my previous round but still consider this a very good track. Fairways were much drier but still a little soft. Greens are true but slow. Professional was very helpful. Clubhouse access was allowed. Happy to return again in the future.
Overall Performance
Course in great Condition played Long Staff very Professional good all round value for money would not Hesitate to come back
Rowallan is tough
Rowallan is a long course exacerbated by its hills which seemingly add 50 yards to a hole.
The greens looked fast but weren’t as they had sand on them.
Talking of sand I only saw one bunker that had good deep sand in it, the other five I was in were bare and difficult. All in all, it a great test of golf with some amazing views over to Arran and the Mull of Kintrye.
Great course
Lovely course. Very well looked after. Long and challenging. Enjoyable
Proper 18 ( 19 ) holes challenge
First time on this golf course and I really enjoyed the round. Very friendly and professional staff in pro shop. Nice long course with few challenging holes. Bunkers everywhere! highly recommended for intermediate and advanced golfers.
Good Value Round
Played this course with a mate. Weather was dry but windy. Large greens which had been cored and sanded I'd guess 2 weeks before we played made the greens slightly uneven. Pace of play was good and a friendly welcome in the Pro-Shop. A fair bit of walking between holes makes the course feel long. Fairways slightly mossy in patches but well worth a visit and we felt good value considering its a 20 minute drive from Glasgow.
Tough, but fair.
Greend were slightly bobbly but otherwise course was well presented. Welcome in Pro-Shop was excellent. Would happily play again.
Good test of golf
Course was in reasonable conditions but probably another month or so to be better. Typical modern design, long and a bit boring. Greens a bit slow at moment but massive. Decent course but only for the long hitters.
The distance guessing game
The bunkers weren’t in play but wasn’t informed before the game! There are no distance markers on the course! There are no ball washers on the course or bins. .
Pleasant Day Out
Had read some poor reviews about the conditions but took a punt. Was in great condition, there are some works ongoing around the course but with the exception of the 11th fairway the course was immaculate.
Pace of play was decent despite it being busy.
Was playing on my own so it was very much appreciated when the course pro asked me to run out ahead of a 4 ball.
Good - but long.
Excellent course, bit too long for an inexperienced player like me but cannot fault the course in any way at all.
Real Golf Test
This is a proper golf course. Lots of variety and challenges for people that like golf. Fortunately it has been dry all week as clearly some drainage problems. In addition the course could be doing with some green keeping but that is probably why I paid 30 pound and not 90 pound. Overall value at this price as a change from your local, if the rain has stayed off.
Great course. Poor condition and drainage.
Course is long. Well laid out and greens great. Pity the drainage everywhere on the fairways is so bad. Really soft and wet.
