Falkirk Golf Club

About
Known locally as "Carmuirs," Falkirk Golf Club is a parkland layout with slight undulation. It's a 6,230-yard par-71 course from the back tees.
Falkirk will undergo a significant renovation in the coming years. David J. Russell, a PGA Professional and golf course architect, has made several recommendations on improving the layout that will be incorporated into the course.
New practice facilities have also been added: four practice bays, a practice putting green and "short game" area for pitching and bunker play. A fully-stocked pro shop is on site, managed by resident professional Stewart Craig.

Excellent Value
Played on a Sunday morning in a 2 ball in 3 hours so really quick. Helpful starter. Very enjoyable course in good condition, not a long course but not easy. Good variety of holes. £25 to £30 is good value for a weekend round.
Great course
First time playing Falkirk GC and I was very impressed! Not overly long but uses the space very well and the condition was great. The 3rd green was poor but other than that, excellent.
I'd have no hesitations to play here again. Some challenging holes and knowing the lay out would definitely help too. One long par 5 with a hidden green foxed is but if we played again, we'd be fine.
Highly recommended this course.
Great Day
Really enjoyed the course. Met by friendly starter. Course in very good condition despite the rain over the last few days. Green keeping staff very friendly too. Enjoyed it will be back
Great Layout

Enjoyable round
First time playing this course. Tee off was booked for mid morning, however I contacted the course and found a very friendly member of staff was able to accommodate me earlier. On arrival I was welcomed by the aforementioned staff in the pro shop who again was very helpful and gave me a thorough briefing if the layout which was required. The course was in great condition and I was playing during downpours. A great mixture of holes and greens in great shape. If in Central Scotland, definitely give this a go. You won't be disappointed.
A Hidden Gem.
Very friendly staff.
Played mid afternoon so course was not to busy.
Excellent layout good variety of holes,have to be accurate of the tee to score well.
Back nine more varied and a bit more demanding,excellent greens the best I have played on this year. Full Mark's to the green keeping staff for the condition of the course.
Would recommend to friends and play again with pleasure.

Amazing greens
Fantastic golf course amazing greens that are so smooth and fast some beautiful holes and special thank you to the lady in the pro shop who let me play in front of a four ball definitely be back best greens I’ve played on for a very long time and value for money
Highly recommended
Helpful friendly pro shop likewise other members on course, great condition fairways and greens. Thoroughly enjoyed whole experience.
Got a game here at last! :)
Was to have played the course a few times in the past, thankfully got a nice day for an enjoyable round. Really liked the layout, some nice holes, mixing doglegs, tough straight holes, and enough undulations to test your game. Tee boxes need a bit of investment to level them out and improve the grass, fairways in good condition considering low lying nature of the course, some good, well placed water hazards add to the asthetics and difficulty. Greens in good condition though a little slow causing a few weird breaks (not my putting, I swear!). Friendly and helpful pro-shop staff and bar staff. Only downside really, is a pet peeve of mine. Don't have different pars!!! Par 71 off white, and par 69 of yellow - For the sake of a few yards. Ridiculous!
great course
brilliant round played on a Saturday in between the club meadows and have to say the members were very friendly.course has lots of tricky holes and was a real challenge.will go back
