It is just three years since the The Carrick on Loch Lomond opened its fairways to the world, yet in that short space of time it has become one of the premier golfing resorts in Scotland.

Adjacent to the most breath-taking scenery that Scotland has to offer, with the shore of Loch Lomond lapping at its fringes, while overlooked by the imposing Trossachs mountain range - the gateway to the Highlands.

The course, designed and named after renowned Canadian Golf architect Doug Carrick, was a labour a love, given it was the company's first venture in the home of golf. Located in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, brought its own unique set of rules and regulations.

This included working with a team of archaeologists from the University of Glasgow, which unearthed artefacts dating back upwards of 4,000 years - making it the most significant archaeological findings in Western Scotland to date.

What was created in the aftermath was a stunning championship course, which is a traditional Scottish heathland track possessing revetted pot bunkers, closely mown chipping hollows and plantings of gorse and heather.
