Braveheart Golf
Duration: 2 days
If you like history with your golf, then
Stirling is the place for you! Set below the famous castle's
parapets with magnificent views of the Ochil Hills and Ben Lomond
to the west, Stirling Golf Club is an excellent 18-hole
course.
Or if time is short, why not try one of the
city's two 9 hole courses. Built beneath the inspiring edifice of
the National Wallace Monument, Airthrey Golf
Course is approx 1168 yards, par 27. Brucefields
Family Golf Centre is an interesting and challenging 9
hole course, complete with driving range and practice
facilities.
Within half an hour's drive of Stirling,
Dollar Golf Club is a challenging hillside course,
designed by Ben Sayers in 1907, and without bunkers! The 2nd hole
is a memorable blind chip up a steep bank - typical of old courses.
Close to Dollar, the Muckhart Golf Club with
undulating heathland in the foothills of the Ochil Hills, is a fair
test of golf.
Still within a half hours drive of Stirling, the
Falkirk area offers a variety of venues. One of the best is
undoubtedly Glenbervie, scene of several amateur
championships, very much a fine parkland tract, secluded, with lots
of trees
Grangemouth Golf Club on Polmont
Hill has tremendous views over the Forth and has a longer 18 hole
layout.
