Frequently Asked Questions

Renfrewshire is incredibly convenient, practically on the doorstep of Glasgow Airport (GLA).

We recommend renting a car; it gives you the freedom to explore all the courses and the surrounding area at your own pace.

We always recommend late spring (May-June) or early autumn (September-October) for Renfrewshire.

Always pack layers, waterproofs, and a sturdy pair of golf shoes – Scottish weather can surprise you, even on the sunniest days.
