Buchanan Castle Golf Club was established
in 1936 and is owned by the Duke of Montrose. Buchanan is a lush parkland course
offering and abundance of scenic views that live in the memory for many years.
Buchanan Castle is a particular pleasure for the touring golfer. For one thing,
he will be made very welcome. For another, it is not much more than half an hour
by road from Glasgow. It is only a few miles off the direct route from the city
to the famous attractions of the Trossachs and it is perfectly served by the lovely
village of Drymen, less than two miles away.
 One
intriguing aspect of play over the course is that many fairways have been framed
by two tall trees, one on either side, at around 200 yards, or where the Braid
Doglegs start to turn. These are simple but insidious. For example, the very first
hole has these fraiming trees just where the fairway turns right. The hole is
396 yards. If you drive well to the left to open
up the second shot, you find a diagonal of three bunkers squeezing out the left
side of the green on the line of our approach, and your approach is likely to
need a healthy iron shot.
Like every other golf course built, no matter how short, how simple, Buchanan
Castle will prevail over the golfer unless he brings to it a proper swing, hits
the shot correctly, and gets the ball out about 200 yards from the tee and into
the fairway. Buchanan Castle Golf Course offers mountains, river and forest near
the shores of Loch Lomond. It is a stunningly beautiful parkland course a place
you will remember with affection.
