Schawpark Golf course

Clackmannanshire, United Kingdom

Alloa Golf Club is a championship-length course designed by James Braid in 1935, situated on the historic estate of Schawpark House. The 6,200-yard, par-71 layout features mature tree-lined fairways that provide privacy and create a picturesque landscape throughout the course. The terrain is characterized by challenging finishing holes from 15 to 18, which include two long par-3s, a demanding par-4, and a par-5, with a notable ditch fronting the seventeenth green. The course offers a good balance of challenge for skilled golfers while remaining enjoyable for average players. Its design showcases Braid's characteristic style, and the course is part of the James Braid Association, allowing members reciprocal play at other member clubs. The setting combines scenic views with well-maintained greens and fairways, making it a notable example of early 20th-century Scottish golf course design.
