The Tournament

The Scottish Open has been played at Loch Lomond since 1996, just two years after the course was opened. In that short time the tournament and the venue have grown in stature, with brilliant notices from the world's best golfers, to become a highlight of the European Tour.

The course nestles in 660 acres of the Clan Colquhoun Estate and is surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of the mountains and loch. The course is criss-crossed by streams, awash with marshes and cloaked in fabulous mature trees.

Weiskopf and Morrish made full use of the rolling landscape and the spectacular stands of woodland, azalea and rhododendron to create a cunning, inventive and challenging course. So whether you’re a player or a spectator you’d be hard pressed to find a richer golfing experience or a more spectacular setting for the Barclays Scottish Open.
