Loch Lomond Golf Club

Loch Lomond Golf Club occupies a position on the south-west shore of Loch Lomond that is, in terms of parkland scenery, without equivalent in Scotland. The course was designed by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish in 1993, using the mixed woodland and shoreline ground of the Rossdhu Estate — an eighteenth-century house with the ruins of a fourteenth-century castle within the grounds. Ben Lomond rises directly across the loch.

The course hosted the Scottish Open annually from 1996 to 2010, which established its playing reputation alongside its visual one. The 6th, a short par 5 played along the loch shore with the water in play the entire length of the hole, is the photographed hole. The 18th finishes on the same shore with the Rossdhu house as the backdrop.

Loch Lomond is a fully private members' club and does not admit individual visitors. Corporate events, charity days, and formal member introductions are the only routes to playing the course. This fact is worth stating clearly because many visitors assume otherwise and make enquiries that go unanswered. For those who want to see the setting: the A82 runs along the east shore of the loch and provides views of the course across the water from publicly accessible viewpoints.
