About this course

Callander Golf Club sits in the town of Callander in Stirling, Scotland, at the eastern edge of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. The course was originally laid out by Old Tom Morris in 1890, with later revisions by Willie Fernie, a prominent Scottish professional and course designer of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. The layout occupies parkland terrain on the lower slopes of the Callander Crags, with the River Teith running along the southern boundary of the property. The course plays as a compact eighteen holes over gently rolling ground, with views north toward Ben Ledi and the surrounding Highland hills. The routing makes efficient use of the available land, and several holes run along elevated sections that provide perspective over the town and the Teith valley. Mature trees frame many fairways, and the design incorporates natural contours and modest elevation changes typical of Scottish parkland courses from this period. Callander serves primarily as a members' club and welcomes visitors throughout the season. The town itself functions as a gateway to the Trossachs, and the course offers a straightforward round in a scenic setting without the formality or difficulty of championship venues. The clubhouse maintains traditional Scottish golf club character, and the course remains a working example of early design principles from the Morris and Fernie era, adapted to the landscape of central Scotland.

Getting there

The journey to Callander Golf Club begins most commonly at Edinburgh Airport, just under ninety minutes south by road, or Glasgow International, a similar distance to the southwest. The drive north traces the edge of Scotland's Central Belt before climbing into the Trossachs, where the landscape shifts from lowland farmland to wooded glens and the first glimpses of Highland peaks. As you approach Callander - the traditional gateway to the Highlands - the road follows the River Teith through a narrowing valley, and the town's Victorian stone buildings give way to the club's elevated parkland perch, framed by Ben Ledi rising dramatically to the north.
