Ranfurly Castle Golf Club

Situated less than 30 minutes from Glasgow city centre on the edge of Bridge of Weir village, Ranfurly Castle Golf Club was founded in 1889 and is recognised as the oldest golf club in Renfrewshire.

Highly regarded as one of the best moorland golf courses in Scotland, the Ranfurly Castle course boasts breath-taking views of the Clyde Valley and surrounding, Renfrewshire countryside.

The golf course was first opened for play in 1905 when it was designed by Andrew Kirkcaldy and Willie Auchterlonie. The Ranfurly Castle layout was reconstructed in 1930 with some influence from legendary golf course architect, James Braid and today, embraces the natural terrain with tight fairways and firm smooth greens calling for accuracy.

The club’s management team have invested on upgrading the golf course drainage and irrigation to allow for all year round play.

The Par 70 golf course measure 6, 291 yards from the white tees and has a WHS course rating of 70.5 and slope rating of 122. It presents a fair challenge to even the most accomplished of golfers and has regularly been selected as the host of National Amateur Championships.

The historic Ranfurly Castle clubhouse building was also opened in 1905 and has undergone extensive refurbishment over the years. Today it presents the perfect venue for dining and drinks with friends and family, as well as formal dining occasions and private functions. The catering teams have recently launched a new and exciting pizza menu!

The clubhouse is also home to the superb Ranfurly Golf Club Professional shop. Managed by Head PGA Professional, Stuart Smith and his team, the shop stocks the latest golfing equipment, clothing and accessories from some of the game’s leading brands.
