Pretty impressive display of modern attitude today at the club. Just wanted to check out the venue for a possible fixture for our society and grab a coffee at the same time. Got told to go away as not with a member. Couldn’t even be bothered to come to the door in person!

This course was very good nice long holes short ones. Greens and tees were exceptional for all this dry weather we have had. This was the first time I have played this course and would love to come back. Keep up the good work.

This is more of an outsiders review of the club itself rather than the course as I have been here twice recently for business meetings.
This is a truly charming and impressive building with history and stories to tell everywhere you look.
Thankfully it has not been overly "modernised" and is all the better for retaining that wear.
The food is outstanding, be it a simple snack or a proper meal. Rest assured, if your round does not go as you would hope, your meal afterwards will ease the pain.
The course itself looks spectacular (the views from the upstairs rooms are sublime) to this inexperienced

Beautiful golf course at the heart of Newton Mearns.
Played early morning in the middle of summer with my FIL. The staffs & club members are so friendly. Special mentioned to David Orr, Professional who run the Pro shop. His hospitality is second to none.
The course itself is in immaculate condition, such a shame my scores wasn't :)
It is not a long course (having said that, we used a buggy!)
I would highly recommend this course, if you have the chance.

Great course. Good tough layout with lots of blind tee shots. Bunkers were terrible though. Members need to learn to not rake all the sand to the edges of the hazard leaving no sand in the middle. Almost impossible to splash out of.

Played the course last week. Winter greens on and pretty cold. But good to get out and playing again. Facilities very good, with great showers. Stayed for something to eat which was delicious and staff very helpful. Would recommend for a round.

10/10 for the fish and chips we had for lunch today and very reasonably priced.
