Loch Lomond Golf Club

Loch Lomond Golf Course is one of at least 6 courses built around the famous Loch Lomond in Scotland. The Loch itself is the largest freshwater Loch in the UK at over 24 miles long and up to 600ft deep, and surrounded by mountains.

The course, built right on the banks of Loch Lomond, is just 22 miles from Glasgow (about a 30 minute drive from Glasgow International Airport).

Loch Lomond Golf Course is probably the most famous of all the courses around the Loch as it has been host to the Scottish Open since 1996.

The course was designed by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish and stretches to 7100 yards off the championship tees.

Loch Lomond golf course is a challenge for all players, and the pros have to play the course at its full length of 7100 yards with a Par 71 target.

The course record is held by Retief Goosen from South Africa, with a 9 under par 62.

There are a number of excellent holes on the course, the longest of which is the 6th hole, which at 625 yards is a challenging par 5.

The Scottish Open has been played at Loch Lomond since 1996, just a few years after the course was opened for play, and continues to attract some of the best golfers in the world.
