The Carrick Course

While the blank canvas that was presented to Canadian designer Doug Carrick was outstanding, the architect justified his burgeoning reputation by formulating a majestic course. Stretched along the Loch Lomond shoreline, the course is bordered by delightful banks of heather and gorse, which are typical of this classically Scottish landscape.

Despite its low-lying situation, the course drains remarkably well thanks to its state-of-the-art construction, a fact that has been reflected in the Carrick already having hosted the best European ladies for a fully sanctioned European Tour event.

The new gem of Scottish golf has been warmly welcomed by the golfing hierarchy, and is a fabulous new option for a magical Scottish golf break.

Keep your eyes peeled for the amazing wildlife of Loch Lomond - you can expect to see kingfishers, oystercatchers, great crested grebes, lapwings and otters.

Very Good

The Carrick Course (Cameron House)

Unfortunately the course was very wet and we could not use the buggies we had ordered. Six of the ten were given power carts and four had push carts which slowed play and tired us out. We only played 9 holes. We were a group of 10 older women with bad knees and hips and could not manage to walk 18. We were disappointed but understood why the buggies were not allowed. Our shoes were soaked. The views were lovely. The restaurant in the clubhouse offered wonderful food and service.

Excellent

A wonderful setting...

I would like to thank you for the excellent service from you and your team in organising our golf break to Cameron House.

Also Grant Robertson, Events Manager at the Carrick was very attentive in organising the catering requirements for our whole party.

We just loved the golf and the views of Loch Lomond. The course was in great condition as a Europro Tour competition had been played there the week before.

How is that for timing!

On the second day heavy rain brought us off the course about the middle of our round and we have all been invited back to play again...superb service!

Cameron House is a wonderful hotel and boasts a wonderful setting on the shores of the Loch. The food was utterly delicious but what impressed us all the most was the warmth and friendliness of the staff. The whole break surpassed all my expectations and I am very grateful to you for finding such an outstanding venue for our ladies.

The Cleveland driver was much appreciated by the lucky winner too!

I will be in touch with you again in due course to plan our next booking.
