What kind of course layout can I expect at Callum Brae - is it a full 18 holes or something different?

Callum Brae offers a fantastic 9-hole layout that's easily playable twice if you're after a full 18. We particularly loved the variety in its par-3 and par-4 holes; it keeps things interesting without being overly challenging, which is ideal for a family-focused course.

What's a unique highlight or a must-do after a round at Callum Brae?

After your game, we highly recommend grabbing a coffee or a snack at their on-site cafe - it's a relaxed spot to recap your birdies (or bogeys!). You're also just a short drive from Hamilton Gardens, which is a stunning place to unwind and explore if you have extra time.
