DESTINATION GOLF SCOTLAND 2025

Mar Hall

This is parkland resort golf at its most enchanting . The course was designed by Dave Thomas and opened in 2010 , playing across a charming 240-acre estate . Located 15 miles west of Glasgow city , it is set beside the River Clyde and in the shadow of the Erskine Bridge . Earl of Mar flows around 250-year-old sweet chestnut and beech trees with holes from both loops of nine pressed up against the river ’ s edge . It is wonderful stuff and it is laced with playability thanks to big spaces and generous fairways . Big also describes the beautifully contoured greens which sway gently and are a joy to putt on . The elaborately-shaped bunkering , which helps to define holes , was fully restored in 2024 . A new irrigation system was also introduced to improve playing conditions and add to the lushness of the course .
The lack of elevation changes makes this a pleasure to walk and , despite this being a modern design , it is not overly long , which enhances its playability for everyone . Given its location , Mar Hall is an excellent place to base yourself to explore the many quality golf courses in the region .
