About us

Loch Lomond Golf Club is one of the world’s finest private members golf clubs.  It sits on the “bonnie bonnie banks” of Loch Lomond, amidst breathtaking scenery but within easy reach of Glasgow and Stirling. Our 7095-yard parkland course was designed in 1994 by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morris and is a truly special place to develop your career - offering wonderful opportunities to learn and grow within a professional team.

Sitting at the heart of our estate is Rossdhu House, a Georgian mansion now home to the clubhouse, where breakfast lunch and dinner is served in our Spikes Bar or halfway house, or more formal dining in private spaces or at special events.    The Club also boasts accommodation, with 53 individually designed suites spread across the clubhouse, and surrounding lodges and cottages.  As well as world class golf, our Members and guests can also enjoy traditional outdoor pursuits, from boating on the loch, pheasant shooting and stalking as well as river and loch fishing and hill walking.    Or for indoor relaxation our five-star spa set within a beautiful walled garden offers an extensive holistic treatment menu, thermal pools and a gym.

Some work here permanently to develop a career in golf and hospitality, some work only seasonally across the busy summer months, while others work part time and flexibly around personal commitments or studies.  However long you plan to stay with us and whatever hours you’d prefer to work, we’re open to discussing shift patterns and contract types to suit your needs.
