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.
How much does a round typically cost at Callum Brae, and can I rent clubs there?
You'll find Callum Brae offers excellent value, with green fees being very reasonable, especially compared to some of the bigger courses. Yes, they have clubs available for rent, which is super convenient if you're traveling light or just trying out the game.
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.
