Golf near Macdonald Forest Hills Hotel
There are plenty of opportunities to play golf during your stay at the Forest Hills Hotel. For serious golfers, we recommend the Aberfoyle Golf Club, just four miles away and within easy driving distance. With stunning views of Ben Lomond and Stirling Castle the course combines spectacle with sporting challenges.
Sitting at the foot of the Menteith Hills, on the southern border of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, Aberfoyle is one of Scotland's most scenic and interesting golf courses. The views from the course are breathtaking. From Ben Lomond in the west, down the upper valley of the River Forth to the bulwark of Stirling Castle, the scenery is magnificent. The course itself may be quite short, but requires a wide variety of imagination and shot making. It is ideal for both high and low handicap players and is an ideal country location for group outings. The recently refurbished clubhouse offers a friendly and informal welcome to all. Aberfoyle Golf Club is just four miles from the Forest Hills Hotel, 25 miles from Glasgow and 15 from Stirling.
