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 81st best course (Golf World, 2024).

Bernhard Langer: he may have played in his last Masters Tournament, but the 67-year-old German will be trying to extend his own record, and win a 13th senior major title at the 36th Regions Tradition. (May 15-18).
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
