Rowallan Castle Golf Club

Would definitely not recommend this course to anyone the greens are terrible and for the fairways every shot played the ball plugged the course is definitely not worth the money a played it yesterday at 1oclock and will never be back at the course a think it should be refunded the fee for yesterday

Far too expensive given the conditions underfoot. Plugged balls on most fairways. Fairways mostly moss. Greens poor. Local municipal courses in far better condition and a third of the price.

This course has the potential to be a world class course. The views are glorious and the course has a nice layout. However. The whole place was like a bog. Sinking into the fairway (when I found it). The pro told me it would be wet but I didn’t realise how bad it would be. Definitely won’t be back until we’ve had a few weeks of consistently good weather. A shame

I thought the course was in a lovely setting and well laid out. The greens and tees were great but the fairways were unfortunately very boggy underfoot.

I'd love to play again in the summer when it was a lot dryer and firmer.

Good restaurant and very friendly and helpful staff.

I'll be back.

Sadly drainage issues appear to continue to be an issue. I appreciate we played at this time of year but it was the third of three dry days. It didn’t spoil my enjoyment of the course but having now played it 3times (at different times of the year) I would love to play it with dry fairways.

Course should have been closed as it can’t cope with persistent rainfall. Terrible drainage , bunkers like swimming pools. Mud everywhere and not a good experience.

Great course and layout, but was so so wet underfoot it was impossible to play, shame really . If the course ever dries I would love to play it again as it would be fantastic.

Extremely Disappointed with the condition of the course - we were told it would be a bit wet since it had been raining. However there was not a single area of dry course - it was completely unplayable. The course should have been closed!

Disappointing as the course looks lovely, but it is completely water logged - not sure how a reasonable hilly course like this can be so consistently wet. Plugged ball on every drive when landing on the fairways. 6 or so inches of water in some bunkers. Greens were in a good condition and firm.

Bought as a birthday round for my brother, extremely disappointing. Will never be returning here and requesting refund.

Chose this local course for a round just after Christmas, knew it would be wet hence the green fee however we did not expect there to be no facilities, no shop open, no changing room, no coffee or drinks available. Such a pity this was not shown when I booked.

Picked a shocker of a day to play this course when thru on the West Coast visiting relatives. Extremely wet and blowy conditions. Course was sodden. We enjoyed the layout of this Monty designed course. Nice long track. Back 9 is fairly wide open to the elements. Course and green conditions not great however both my son and I enjoyed it. Pretty tired by the end however the bonus 19th hole capped off a real workout for us both.

This is my third time playing the course and it doesnt seem like in the 7 years since i first played it that there has ever been an attempt to add drainage. The course is actually really well laid out and i enjoy the course its just a pity that it holds the water so much and makes the course really long to play.

First time playing rowallan and was very excited at the prospects of playing a championship course. The layout of the course and some of the holes were fantastic, some really good par 3’s. However this was all overshadowed by the course condition,every fairway and rough was flooded. Really boggy and marshy. I felt that for the price your charged to play a championship course the owners need to spend a lot of money on drainage,it was almost unplayable at times. The greens however are fantastic and very well looked after. Would rate it 3 out of 5

I had never played the course before and I have to say I didnt really enjoy it. Admittedly the recent wet weather had left the course extremely soggy but I just found it to be long and very uninteresting. I would try another round in more solid underfoot conditions- hopefully my opinion would change.

Played on a Thursday afternoon , course quiet and round was quick. Course in good condition all over. No complaints at all and the design of the course makes this an enjoyable golf course to play when conditions are like this. Well worth the cost as booked from Golf Now.

played on several occasions however this was the best condition the course was in. great valued look forward to playing again

I have played Rowallan a number of times over the years and it is such a test of golf. From the back tees it is a monster, designed by Monty and tour length/design. Factor the wind and some holes are a real test.

Greens are superb, fairways and teeboxes could be slightly better but essentially due to the size of the course, proper manicure and cultivation comes at a price and I doubt looking at the number of green staff & equipment this is in abundance. Layout and hole design is as good as anything in Scotland. Put a 5 star resort on site and plough in £ and you will rival anything inland in Scotland.

From the time we passed through the door we were welcomed by everyone, reception, golf pro and bar/restaurant staff, lovely breakfast and when we went around to pro shop were given info about the course since we had never played here before, everyone of the staff we met were very engaging and going onto the course it was really long but most enjoyable, would recommend the course and facilities to anyone and will certainly be returning in the future, thanks again to everyone involved.
