Aberfoyle Golf Course: Sitting at the foot of the Menteith Hills, on the southern border of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, Aberfoyle is one of Scotland's most scenic and interesting golf courses. The views from the course are breathtaking. From Ben Lomond in the west, down the upper valley of the River Forth to the bulwark of Stirling Castle, the scenery is magnificent.
The course itself is quite short, but requires a wide variety of imagination and shotmaking. It is ideal for both high and low handicap players and is an ideal country location for group outings. The recently refurbished clubhouse offers a friendly and informal welcome to all.

Balfron Golf Society Course: The game of golf is not a new tradition in Balfron. There had been a nine hole course at the top of the village for many years until, in 1939, the Golf Club was dissolved and used for agricultural use during the 2nd World War.
A couple of attempts to reform the club in the 1940's were unsuccessful but in 1991 Balfron Golf Society was formed by a small group of individuals most of whom lived or had been born in the village. A constitution was written, trophies rescued from the vault of the local bank and the inaugural outing to Callander Golf Club in Perthshire arranged in the summer of 1991.

Buchanan Castle Golf Club: Lies within a forested estate with trees native to Western Europe, different types Oak, and soaring Pacific Coast Redwoods. The course lies on a flat plain, sliced through by the oxbows of the Endrick Water. To the East and North West, beyond the banks of Loch Lomond are the beginnings of the Highlands and the magical mountains of Arthur, Vane, Vorlich, Lui and Ben Lomond itself.
The course, designed by James Braid, features many fairways which are framed by two tall trees at around 200 yards, or where the Braid Doglegs start to turn. Simple but insidious, requiring consistent accuracy off the tee.

Callander Golf Course: The course has been described by National Club golfer as follows:“... a fantastically secluded location, diverse holes with great greens and stunning views of Ben Ledi and the Trossachs all combine to create a memorable experience.”
Added to this is a welcoming atmosphere, a great support staff and golf at reasonable prices. Come and try it out for yourself. Currently there is no joining fee, a simple entry procedure and, from 1 July to October, there is a reduced entry fee. |

Killin Golf Club: There are 2 courses at Killin, the main 9 hole course, and a wee course within it which was built with money from clubgolf for the juniors. This "wee course" consists of 8 par 3's and a par 4, it is played from separate tees and to separate greens marked with white flags.
We also have a practice area at the entrance to the club built with money from Awards for All and clubgolf. This area consists of a twin driving net and 3 holes (a combination of 5 holes can be played). This practice course is not suitable for practicing the long game, but is excellent for the short game, and even has 2 bunkers.

Loch Lomond Golf Course: Designed by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish, the 7,100 yard parkland course is considered to be among the 'Top 100' finest golf courses in the world (ranked in the top 50 by Golf Magazine and 19th by its international panelists when it first opened, as well as voted #1 course in Scotland by the readers of Bunkered.) The course is a true test of golf, demanding skill on the tee, on the fairway, and on and around the green. Streams and marshland areas form natural hazards, while majestic trees, including Scots Pine, Douglas Firs, and ancient oaks add to the grandeur.
Along with its championship course, Loch Lomond's clubhouse is extraordinary. Rossdhu is a Georgian manor house constructed in 1773, exactly 200 years before Tom Weiskopf won The Open Championship at Royal Troon.
Snapshot: Championship: 7100 Yards | Medal: 6675 Yards | Middle: 6300 Yards | Front: 5460 Yards.

St Fillans Golf Course: Situated in the heart of Highland Perthshire, in one of the most beautiful parts of Scotland with magnificent lochs and towering mountains, the village of St Fillans sits at the eastern end of Loch Earn, its rows of houses, hotels and guesthouses enjoying the fabulous view up the loch. Tucked away across the River Earn is the nine-hole St Fillans course.
Considering the imposing hills that surround the course, the terrain is surprisingly level, and is popular with those new to the sport yet proves to be a difficult course to score well on for the more experienced player.
At this nine hole course each hole is very challenging and a combination of course design, superb green keeping and breathtaking scenery keep players on the course as long as possible.

Stirling Golf Club: Lying on a tilted slab of ancient volcanic lava in full view of the histroic Stirling Castle and once a favoured hunting ground of Scottish Monarchs, this ground has been known for centuries as 'The Kings Park'.

The course offers some of the finest views in Scotland covering the Forth Valley and the local mountains of the Trossachs, a national park. The whole scene is dominated by the magnificent Stirling Castle. The club has been associated with some illustrious names such as Tom Morris Jnr who was appointed 1st club professional in 1873.
