£7.50–£10 for a visitor round at Dollar Golf Course. Checked against the club's published rates on 31 October 2026.
Nine-hole hillside course below Castle Campbell, run by Harviestoun Estate and volunteers. Inexpensive, good views, no bunkers.
From the Notebook
Dollar Golf Course occupies a nine-hole hillside layout below Dollar Glen in Clackmannanshire, with Castle Campbell — a National Trust for Scotland property perched on its crag above the glen — above the town. The setting is the course's defining characteristic: the Ochil Hills rising sharply to the north, the glen cutting through the escarpment directly above.
Par 36: nine par 4s, 2,456 yards off the yellow tees. There is not a bunker on the course — Ben Sayers, who laid out the original eighteen, reckoned the hillside supplied hazards enough — but a burn comes into play on four of the nine, the turf is rugged and the greens are small. Anything played loosely at Dollar finds trouble quickly; the hillside is unforgiving of wayward shots in a way that flat parkland never is.
The old Dollar Golf Club, founded in 1906, closed in 2019; since July 2020 Harviestoun Estate and a group of local volunteers have kept nine of its holes open to all as Dollar Golf Course. Green fee £7.50 for nine, £10 for eighteen, paid online before you tee off. Castle Campbell and the Dollar Glen gorge walk are both close to the first tee; a morning round followed by an afternoon at the castle and glen makes an excellent visit for golfers travelling with non-playing companions.

Played here? Consider
Three things worth packing.
Picked for heathland rounds in Scotland.
Outerwear
Galvin Green Andres jacket
Wind off the firth changes club selection two irons. A breathable, fully-waterproof shell that's light enough not to swing in is the single biggest upgrade for Scottish links golf.
Layer
Sunderland of Scotland half-zip
Scottish-made merino — the locals' choice for shoulder-season rounds. Warm enough for a 7am tee time in October, light enough for the back nine when the sun comes out.
Tech
Garmin Approach S70 GPS
Handles blind tee shots and exposed-coastal yardage cleanly. Battery lasts a 36-hole day; the wind-direction overlay justifies the price on its own.

- Phone or email the pro shop to confirm. Most Scottish clubs accept visitor bookings 7–30 days ahead; group bookings of 8+ can be arranged further ahead.
