Buchanan Castle Golf Club

Established in 1936 on the Duke of Montrose's estate near Drymen, this James Braid parkland course sits on the flood plain of the River Endrick within a forested estate that includes soaring Pacific Coast Redwoods, with views to Ben Lomond and the Luss hills. Relatively flat but insidiously tactical, many fairways are framed by twin trees around the 200-yard mark or where Braid's doglegs begin to turn, demanding consistent accuracy over raw distance.
