Why not de-clutter your home and make some cash by booking a car space for selling at our Car Boot sale? Or come along, grab a bargain and relax with a cuppa in the Clubhouse afterwards.

There was a fantastic entry of 32 competitors with the worthy winner and runner up, Alan Palmer and Alan Needham respectively, both scoring 61. They will both be entered into the Loch Lomond Whisky Draw, as well as picking up their prize of a bottle of Malt on the day! Member Stuart MacInnes took some fantastic drone footage on the day and compiled a short video that really shows the magnificant condition of the course.
