GOLF CLUB

Enjoy a round of golf and
a round of refreshments at
Rowallan Castle Golf Club
in Kilmaurs. This grand golf
club boasts a state-of-the-art
clubhouse, in addition to a
dazzling glasshouse restaurant
whose bar offers views of the
8th green and par-five 9th hole.
There’s also a refreshment
terrace on which to enjoy a cold
drink while the sun is shining.
Most golfers, of course, will
be more concerned with the
quality of the course itself – and
there can be little cause for
complaint with the 7,000 yards
at Rowallan Castle. The estate
itself was first laid down 700
years ago, and those playing
19 holes (yes, 19!) can test
their wits against a challenging
course busy with flora and
fauna, as well as meandering
streams, bountiful woodland
and even a Bronze Age
settlement. Colin Montgomery
and his team have designed an
excellent golf course and club,
one that is worth joining if you
can manage the membership
fees, not least to tap the
knowledge of resident PGA
Professional Ross Aitken, who
coaches players at the club’s
Golf Academy. That 19th hole,
incidentally, is known as the
“Money Hole” and is a testing
long-par three. Give it a go.
