Bridge of Allan golf course requires a climb on several holes, but the golfer is rewarded with spectacular views over the Ochill Hills, the Forth Valley and north to the mountains of Tayside. Old Tom Morris designed this course in 1894 and it has stood the test of time well.

The first is an extremely challenging hole. A par three, it is 228-yards uphill with a stone dyke about 20 yards in front of the green - there are very few members who can carry the dyke! Lay up short of the dyke and leave yourself enough space to chip over the wall to the flag.
