Loch Lomond Golf Club

A beautiful and flat course located on the banks of the world-famous Loch (Lake) Lomond. A vast area of 600 acres (equivalent to 60 big football stadiums) is sandwiched between lakes and mountains. There are 46 kinds of trees that cover the entire course, offering a unique habitat for many wildlife animals. The GOLF Magazine included the 5th, 6th, and 10th holes as part of its 500 Best Golf Holes in the 2000 edition. While these holes are exceptionally noteworthy, all other holes of this course are quite impressive in their own way. Loch Lomond will come into play on 5 holes.

Scorecard

A dogleg to the left. Off the tee shot, players will encounter a bush to the left and three fairway bunkers to the right. Hitting towards the left side of the wide fairway will be the best angle to the green. The approach will require the ball to be hit over a stone wall. A large and deep bunker protects the left side of the green. The green is shared with the fourth hole.

A beautiful hole with trees surrounding both sides of the hole and a dogleg to the left. It is possible to hit the green in 2 as the hole is gently downhill. Off the tee a large fairway bunker on the left comes into play, but aiming towards this direction close to the bunker will be important because hitting from the left side gives the best angle to the green on the second shot. The left-sloping green is protected a lake and a bunker located immediately to the left side, and a pond placed on the right side. The green is also guarded by a bunker to the left. This would be considered a typical “risk and reward” hole.

A relatively straight and very long par 5 with a lake that spreads to the right. The fairway is wide on both off the tee and second shots. Off the second, players will encounter a large cross bunker located 150 yards in front of the green. While it is the best to hit over the bunker, average hitters need to lay up short of the bunker onto the left side of the fairway that tilts toward trees on the right side. The green is long, elevated, and surrounded by a lake to the right and bunkers on both sides. Two trees strategically placed on front ride side of the green that makes the approach interesting and challenging. GOLF Magazine 2000 (the latest edition) selected as part of its World's 500 Best Holes.

A par four with a gently downhill tee shot and a dogleg bend around a lake to the right. A large bunker guards the right and the front ride sides of the green. Furthermore, a lake is located right behind the green, making accuracy an essential play off the approach.

A difficult par five with a dogleg to the left and bushes running along both sides. With a downhill tee shot, players should be careful of the six fairway bunkers on both the left and right sides. The second shot is over a creek onto the narrow landing area protected by additional fairway bunkers. The green is long & narrow with a large greenside bunker to the left.

A par four with a slight dogleg to the right. On the tee shot, there are trees and bushes surrounding the left and right sides of the wide fairway, and a large bunker on the left located 280 yards from the teeing ground. With a two-tiered horizontally wide green with a strong step, approaching it will be difficult as the front and back sides are guarded by bunkers. Additionally, there is a creek that runs also alongside the back of the green.

A very long par four with a sharp dogleg to the left. There’s a creek that crosses just in front of the green, making distance and accuracy an important factor off the second shot. Playing from the Blue tee, rather than from the Champion tee, will increase the total length to 515 yards. However, this also converts the hole to a par five making it easier.
