5 mi NW of Falkirk / 21 mi NE of Glasgow.
Glenbervie GC is located on the A9 between Falkirk and Stirling, approximately 1.5 mi north of Larbert.
Glenbervie Golf Club: pleasurable indeed to stand on the tee in front of Glenbervie's professional shop, with the downhill par-4 1st laid out before you, and the Ochil Hills providing a scenic backdrop.
Amongst Scotland's inland, parkland layouts, Glenbervie ranks high. Pleasant elevation changes, good-width lightly tree-lined fairways and stylish bunkering are key elements here. So too a few water ditches, which threaten at six of the holes.
At times a little compact, at others expansively roaming, the course enjoys its natural woodland habitat with many varieties of beautiful mature trees lining the perimeter. While enjoying its mix of woodland stretches, and others that are more open, the layout also serves up an excellent variety of straightaway and doglegging holes.
Pick of the holes: Glenbervie's infamous par-4 9th (Bluebell Wood) is a tough 435-yard dog-legging hole demanding an uphill drive with out-of-bounds on your right. Arguably the best looking hole on the course is the par-4 14th (Braid's). Again played uphill with the Ochil hills at your back and the clubhouse as a backdrop as you progress towards the large, well-bunker defended, two-tier green.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.

John Panton, one of the Scotland's most successful golfers, was the golf professional at Glenbervie for almost 40 years. Among his many accolades, he actually has a drink named in his honour. A "John Panton", popular in Scotland and Scottish golf clubs, is a refreshing non-alcoholic drink based on ginger beer, lime cordial and Angostura bitters. In English golf clubs it goes under the name "Gunner" or "Gunners", and is of British colonial descent, originating from Singapore Golf Club (now Singapore Island CC).
A full-service Italian restuarant, "Ciro's", is located in the Glenbervie clubhouse. A popular lunchtime venue for golfers and non-golfers alike.
In 1983 the club hosted the British Boys Amateur Championship, when 17-year-old José María Olazábal from Spain beat Marc Pendaries from France in the 36-hole final.
Located alongside the course is the award-winning Glenbervie House Hotel (Aurora Hotels), an exclusive-use venue that is popular for weddings, conferences and other organised events. It does not cater for single-night stop-overs for visitors to Glenbervie Golf Club, unless you hire the entire 12-guest room hotel. Also adjacent to the golf course, Aurora Hotels operate the Coach House at Glenbervie, a six-bedroom luxury property hireable on an exclusive use basis.
Scotland's 82nd best course (Golf World, 2025).
Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.
Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises. Explore the grounds, connect with others, embrace new challenges, and dive into an unforgettable celebration. Click here to buy tickets.
