Gleddoch Golf Club

Played the course on Saturday 16th July and was plesantly surprised after reading previous reviews.
After waking up to torrential rain I feared the worst about flooding on the course and the effect it might have on the greens but found only a few small areas of water in the rough.
The greens are among the best I have played on for an inland course this year. With the tees and fairways in near immaculate condition ( par 3 tees have the usual wear and tear).
As noted on previous reviews, the scenery and layout allow for some stunning views of the river clyde and surrounding area.
A special mention must go to the final 4 holes that I feel are the highlight of the course.
All in all a great experience from hole 1-18 and a course I would recommend and will play again in the future.

Played today, 29/10/10.
It's OK. Adequate. The good; Helpful pro, interesting layout, relatively short on the card but the wind adds challenge (although if you play off the daily tees there are no par 5s). It's also built on the side of a fairly steep hill so that's one more defence. It's open in parts but there are some great areas of mature trees. Best feature of the course is probably the views over the Clyde Valley over Loch Lomond to the north, but best of all the view over Glasgow from the 16th tee is excellent. There are also some interesting holes - 8, 15 and 17 for example. Best hole on the course is probably the last.
The not so good; The greens are not great, uneven pace and not very true. VFM is only acceptable if you use the half-price vouchers, tees are ropey and there's a lot of GUR. Sand in bunkers - thin. We also noted the Langbank seems to be a very laid-back place and we were let through by 2 groups despite not playing all that quickly.
Recommended? If you're not far away and have a half price voucher burning a hole in your pocket, it's better than a day at the in-laws. I wouldn't go out of your way though.

Great layout with fantastic views. Some realy challenging holes. Not the best tee's or greens I've ever played on though. I believe that the old owners never gave the green keeper the funds to carryout the work required and he has been under resourced for the past ten years. Lets hope the new owners Swallow Hotels spend the money required to bring the course up to the standard it deserves.You can of course get bacon rolls if you desire them

I feel its an excellent golf course with very helpful Proshop staff. The only problem is that the club champion was not a worthy winner and the a club of this nature should have a champion who is a capable golfer.

Played this course numerous times. Excellent course, very challenging and greens are well maintained. Never too busy that you are being delayed with play and never being pushed to the next hole. K.Fraser Glasgow

superb golf club without a doubt the best golf course in scotland.

Played Gleddoch in September. The welcome was warm and the weather was good, I thought this golf course had a wonderful setting with fantastic views around the Renfrewshire area. It proved to be a very challenging course in very good condition with quality greens and superb fairways. The clubhouse had good changing facilities yet could do better on the catering side.

played course a few times nothing great certainly not worth the £40 i spent on green fees poor condition pathetic greens and the clubhouse wasnt up to much!

Nice course , well maintained and excellent greens. It is just a pity about the restaurant . They don't serve Bacon Rolls , yes a golf club and they don't serve Bacon Rolls
