Welcome to Loudoun Gowf Club, the only 'Gowf' Club in the world. Located in Galston, New Zealand, our club offers various membership categories and is always welcoming to visitors. We pride ourselves on being a modern and inclusive club, open to golfers of all abilities.
Our parkland course is known for its mature tree-lined fairways and challenging layout. The course has a rich history, with references to gowf being played at Loudoun dating back over 400 years. We are proud to be custodians of these original Scottish golfing values and traditions.
Gowf, the ancient Scottish word for golf, is enshrined in our club's name. This term has been used since the first ball was struck by the Duchess of Loudoun in 1909. As the only Gowf Club in the world, we embrace our unique heritage and the historical roots of the game.
Situated in the picturesque Irvine Valley, our course presents a variety of challenges, including well-bunkered greens, occasional burns, and strategically placed par 3s. The gentle undulating countryside, rolling hills, and lush greenery create a beautiful backdrop for a day of golf. Our convenient location, just a short drive from the Ayrshire coast and 30 minutes from Glasgow, makes us easily accessible.
At Loudoun Gowf Club, we offer a range of social and playing membership options to suit your golfing needs and preferences. Our goal is to provide a quality golfing experience, excellent facilities, and a welcoming atmosphere for our members, guests, and visitors. After your round, you can enjoy a delightful dining experience with fresh, locally sourced cuisine in our modern clubhouse. Our catering and bar staff ensure your comfort and enjoyment while you take in the views of the course.
